I'm not an IT professional, but being the office manager and the most tech-savvy person (read: youngest) at a small business, I'm the de facto IT guy. In general I have to deal with a lot of really basic issues constantly (the most prevalent being that no one can remember their loving PASSWORDS no matter what I do), but there was one a few years ago that particularly stood out. My boss was emailing a one of our (male) dealers, one he knows well and can bullshit around with, and another (female) client that he doesn't know as well, but is very important and vital to getting this particular sale. The dealer mentioned some event related to the project, and my boss, in standard form, responds "will there be bitches there". Only, he hit reply-all. The female client was on the email. He calls me over and frantically tries to figure out how to recall the message. His solution, for some reason, was to tap send/receive wildly. That, of course, just ENSURED the message went out. I told him there was nothing he could do, and suggested he just hope she understands it was a mistake. Nope. Instead, here is his plan. He wants her to think we've been hacked, and the hacker sent out that email. So he commands me to send an email to our entire 2,000 person email list saying we've been hacked. I tried to convince him to just send it to her - I could even make it look like it HAD gone to everyone. Nope. He insisted it go to everyone. I spent the rest of that day working damage control, explaining to everyone that called that no, we were ok, they didn't need to worry about viruses or anything coming from us. The kicker? We're still working (and on good terms) with that client, and she never even saw the email. Sigh.
