It’s worse when it’s professionally. Yesterday I wrote and sent an email before lunch, except near the end of the day I saw I had an email in my Drafts folder and had never actually hit send.
Constant problem with outlook. Have to check the sent folder every time
Type type type type
Puts phone down
Checks the next days and the message is still there. Haven’t pressed send
i check at night usually and find all the texts i meant to send to my wife. scheduled texts are wonderful
This is me
Do this way more than I’d like to admit
I’ll come back to the chat two hours later when I suddenly remember that this person hasn’t answered me yet only to find my message, halfway typed out, in the draft box.
I’m in this comment and I don’t like it
I can’t tell you how many times i thought i sent a text or email just to find it sitting in my drafts a week later
This actually happens to me a lot at work…but it’s because:
-
I sign work emails with a certificate and sometimes it asks for the password
-
My company also has us mark each email with a third-party classification program.
These don’t come up until you hit Send, and sometimes can take several seconds.
So naturally I get distracted, open up a hundred more windows, and eventually reboot.
The really fun thing about this, is that it won’t even save a draft if it was waiting for a password…so Outlook continues to gaslight me on whether or not I wrote the email in the first place.

Lucky me I got both!
It’s really very common for ADHD lol these people
This happened to me this year when I was booking a band for a wedding party. They were thankfully very kind about it since I was booking with so much advance notice.
“Sometimes”?
I do this regularly and in fact I may have just lost a very high paying client because of this so i’m trying to post my way out of depression right now
Dude, I hate it when that happens.
Signal plugin idea: whenever you type a new letter, a countdown (re)starts that automatically sends the message after 5 minutes.
That is a terrifying idea that would guarantee I never start an email.
