    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Signal plugin idea: whenever you type a new letter, a countdown (re)starts that automatically sends the message after 5 minutes.
