Internet Idiot Moves

Internet Idiot Move (IIM): to pull an IIM {eem} is to make a digital faux pas.

If you haven't done it yet... you will. Tell us when you do, and of course, all email submissions will be posted as "anonymous" unless otherwise requested by the submitter (You) because apparently, if you have a story to submit, you've already done something stupid once, so we've got your back.

E-mail your Internet faux pas to IIMoves(at)gmail(dot)com.

Dumbo Phone Gaff

Hey, this didn’t happen online, but it was internet-related! I had to call a business contact and scrolled down on my phone and hit “call”, the guy answered, and I then launched into this whole process we had to get rolling my Monday that related (here comes the “internet connection”!) to some web-sites our company maintains.

So I finish telling him this list of needs and then he says, “Um, I think you’ve got the wrong guy. Great to talk to you, but I don’t know what you’re talking about.” OMG, I had hit “call” on the entry right below the guy I MEANT to call. They have the same first name and their last names begin with the same letter. I’m such an idiot.
