Today, while bored at work I was reading an article online about the local zoo and its animals. I received an email so quickly responded, but when signing off accidentally wrote "thanks hippo" instead of "thanks heaps". To a woman with a weight problem. Who also outranks me. FML

now just cause 45# is a dumbass doesn't mean Americans aren't cool people. its usually based on the Americans on the Internet. not the country.

you totally deserved it. you left out the part where you called her a hippo in your head because you were thinking about the zoo and that she was fat, so you then wrote it in the message. Word of advice, proofread messages at work.

Typical woman. Blame the man on an accident. But when a woman is in the wrong and puts it here, you immediately try to sympathize with her. Get back in the kitchen.

Typical man. Pulls out sexism whenever he sees any type of male-bashing. But when a man is in the wrong and puts it here, you immediately try to high five him.

#5 - O.o I just tried to read this four times and couldn't figure out what you were trying to say. Learn English, plzkthx? *Twitch*

I was typing really fast and it didn't come out right. I meant write her back telling her it was an accident and why don't you learn proper English before insulting someone else.

If you needed to read that four times before you understood what Bleh was trying to say, I suggest you brush up on your English too.

Of course, you deserve it. It's not like you were speaking with her and said it, it was an email! Thus, you have no excuse for why you didn't proofread it before sending it.

Exactly! I bet this happened though: "Oh shit, cancel, Cancel, CANCEL!!!!" *clicks a billion times* Your message has been sent. "Nooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!" Could've been avoided if OP used gmail.

I'd be shaking in my boots if I were you, son. Those mighty fierce hippos aren't known as the second deadliest animal for nothing!
