I was drunk a while ago and I typed up a stupid email (not quite as bad as this, but sorta relating my personal experiences) and then thought “no, i don’t think i want to send this” and went to bed.

Just so you all know, sobriety doesn’t necessarily prevent regrettable posts. Take it from me, I haven’t been drunk in quite a while but I’m still a dumb-ass.

My friend read this post and wrote me, that it would be perfect if there was not only such e-mail system but also a tool to prevent us from writing drunk text messages. So true!

This is awesome. Are those emails direct quotes or did you script drunk typing while sober? Because that would be even more impressive.

wifey, my college had that too. My favorite was when I would have my inbox open, see a message appear, and then see it disappear before I could open it.

ALSO, marking as read. I did that to a lot of emails I read late at night, which means when I received an email similar to the one above but way less charming and from a total douchebag I would copy and paste it just in case it got unsent. Which it often did. Oh, college.

You are funny, Wife.

Remember Albion’s mail system? How you could retract emails before they were read? (You could do it after they were read, too, but that is just weird). I used that magic retraction tool many, many times in college. Albion was the best college in the world, if for that reason alone.

Lesson 1: Don’t get drunk.

Lesson 2: In case you do get drunk, make sure you have gmail.

Lesson 1: Don’t get drunk.

Lesson 2: If lesson 1 isn’t followed make sure to use gmail.
