Transcript:
I'm passing along an email from Phil. Can you believe this guy? This is so stupid! What a dope.
SEND.
OSD.
The compulsion to check whether one pressed "Forward" or "Reply".
My cousin sends me anti-Obama crap with pictures and I forward, changing the text to anti-Republican.Like the one that says I tried to talk but couldn’t make eye contact?
LOL Rockngolfer my uncle sends me a bunch of crazy propaganda crap too.That is one way to handle it – where do people come up with this stuff? Creative yes, albeit with no integrity and too much time on their hands. I just go on to snoops to point out that he, again, is sending out false crap. The sad thing is this guy has a degree is chem, so he wasn’t stupid in his youth. Both his kids are successful professionals, and they just shrug their shoulders and say he’s nuts ;b (so does his republican brother)
I return all nasty anti-Obama messages with a note telling the person they need to change their password, because some idiot is using their email address to send idiotic racial forwards.
It’s also called the “ohnosecond”, the second after you hit send and realize you shouldn’t have. This happened to me, back in the 90s, before everyone quite realized that you couldn’t retrieve an email once it was sent. Caused quite a flutter at work, entailing two email apologies and a ftf one as well. Live and learn.

If you can’t remember having to put in Phil’s address before it’s sent, that’s when you panic.

If someone sends me something political that I disagree with,I Reply All with a bunch of great counter rants! So beware!

Obsessive Sending Disorder?

A few minutes search came up with nothing for OSD that helped. Perhaps it should have been OST (On Second Thought)?

Then one second later: Could it be One Second Delay?

I figured that OSD was a play on OCD, but initially couldn’t come up with what it meant.
Then a few minutes later it hit me…. “Oh, S***!” Disease!
Jimmy loves to slip stuff under the radar, so I bet that’s it…
