By Anonymous - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - United States

Today, after an argument with a coworker, I sent him, "Sorry about being such a jerk" in a reply to a mass email he'd sent. I accidentally hit 'Reply All'. I now have 32 "It's okay" messages in my inbox. FML

Notice OP didn't mention the 21 "Yeah, well **** you, shitbag!" replies she's has in her inbox. Very sneaky.

Well, look on the bright side - they all think better of you now, probably!

Looks like everyone else hates you just as much as the next guy/girl at your work OP.

They probably didn't know how else to respond to your random message. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

If they didn't know how to respond they'd probably write something like "What are you talking about? You didn't do anything." Looks like OP really is a jerk. Well the good thing is: now she knows and can improve her behavior, and she has already apologized - great start.

Today, 32 people said it's ok to a mass email I sent out on accident. My life is going pretty smooth since this is my FML. Poor you. SMH

It's ok even though you were being more than a jerk. :D

Actually this is true. Humility and willing to admit when you are wrong is a good thing. People see you as human and not a pompous asshole. If you ever mess up again, you are likely to be forgiven a lot easier than someone who they feel will never admit when they are wrong. It’s happened with me before and turned into something good. These days, not many people will admit they are wrong, and even less apologize for it. This is going to ultimately help your career. Vulnerability can actually work to your advantage in some cases.

Looks like you work with a bunch of co-dependent jerk enablers. You should have gotten at least a few of the JA* credos in return: The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. *Jerks Anonymous -- it was going to be called Assholes Anonymous, but the abbreviation AA was already taken.

I thought "Jerks Anonymous" would have been taken by a support group of male chronic masturbaters already.
