So I just got reprimanded at my job...

[Relic]

for a typo.
Background - I had been dealing via email with a large client company's network admins, who had been experiencing a multitude of technical issues with one of our products. I had been explaining to them for a week and a half that it's actually a misconfiguration on their side and was not something I/we could fix. I was 100% right. In fact, I went out on a limb and pointed out exactly where the problem was and how to fix it...still they blamed me, blamed the product...when suddenly, I guess in an act of pure desperation, they did what I had suggested and -voila- The issue is fixed.
I was asked to email a "post-mortem" of what transpired to their supervisor.
My last sentence of that email:

"In the end, your technical team had followed an earlier suggestion from us which resolved the issue. Had they attempted the suggested fix earlier within the time frame of our troubleshooting, the content would not have been lost.

Retards,"

Yes, "retards" and not "regards"..
I inadvertantly called a pair of network admins "retards" to their supervisor causing him to write my supervisor...

I should be mad but I'm laughing too hard.

That is pretty funny but it's an easy typo to miss (or misinterpret).

 

[Marcus Johnson]

Freud would love that one. I'm laughin' too.

[Stumbo]

Retards,"

So instead of thanking you for solving the problem, the retards forward your email and make a big deal about it to take the focus off of their incompetence.

I don't think they'll last long.

Great story, though.

 

[playinpearls]

[tplyons]

Simply amazing. Greatest Typo ever?

The funny part is how it's written in the smug tone of the nerdy comic book guy from the Simpson's, but it was still acceptable until you put the typo in the end, which just accentuated the smug tone even more, even though you didn't mean too. Beautiful.
