Technology mishaps

Ever send an e-mail or text to the wrong person? I successfully managed to do just that today. Being the responsible student I am, I decided that I would send a mass e-mail plenty early ( my Lab is on friday)  to my class mates asking if I could use someone's data because several groups fell behind and we were given permission to borrow one another's data if that happened. (And yes, I was part of a group that fell behind) Love Chem Lab with all my heart....So anyway one of the venues we can use as e-mail is a system called "e-learning" I earnestly got onto my e-learning account clicked on the "Chem 111 Lab" folder. And sent an e-mail like this...
"Hi my name is Alli!!!!!!!! (many exclamations and smiley faces)
Please can I borrow............ "x"(This was then followed by more smiley faces and exclamations. After all, if I am going to be in this chem lab with them the rest of them semester, these people ought to like me right?)
I hit the "select all students" button. There. Sent. Back to making my coffee.
Today, I checked that folder, and thought "hmmmm...strange..no one responded (all 30 of them)..I know people check their e-learning accounts everyday" Ironically enough, I had originally clicked on the wrong folder (My Chem 101 class. Note the similarity.) The "select all" button I had clicked, sent the e-mail to 300 something Chem 101 students...and not my Lab class. Great.
