There are a lot of pros and cons to living in our always-connected world. With greater ease of instant communication comes more of a chance that we’re going to accidentally misuse it; like, say, sending your boss a text ABOUT your boss that you MEANT to send to your girlfriend and now you’re not sure if you’re still going to have a job tomorrow. Oops.
I need some kind of app that asks me if I’m ABSOLUTELY SURE I meant to send my message to certain contacts. We all need it.
Here are 13 examples of exactly why we all need it.
12. Can’t handle it
Why would you text this to your boss?
11. Love is love
Clearly someone hasn’t read the handbook on office romance.
10. A reasonable request
Did you mean to say that?

8. Sick of your cr*p
Some details maybe don’t need to be shared with anyone at all.

6. Texts from last night
Texting your boss should require a breathalyzer.

5. Self-evaluation
It’s always worse when there are pictures involved.

I don’t know who’s in the wrong here but it’s all-around miserable.

2. Party time
Hold on, why does your boss call you “Peewee?”

Let this be a cautionary tale to us all. Maybe change your boss’ name in your contacts to just “CAREFUL!”
