Sender’s Remorse

By shauna Leave a Comment

My proposed “unsend” button
would replace the straight arrow with
the iconic “left-curving arrow.”

You’ve heard of buyer’s remorse–that sick feeling which
plagues a consumer after the big
purchase.
As you might have guessed from reading previous posts, I’m a
cheap, tight-wad. So I rarely (dare I say never?) have buyer’s remorse.
However, I have often suffered from Sender’s Remorse.
You know that sick feeling after you’ve sent an important
email and realized that every time you meant to type the word “propose” you
accidentally typed the word “purpose.” And since you’re such a stellar speller,
spell-check gave you the big green light and you sent that email off into
cyberspace with no way to reel it back in.
Sick.
Or how about the instant after you hit “send” when the
little hourglass indicates it’s taking two nanoseconds to deploy your personal
musings to another inbox. In that fleeting moment your glance at the “To:”
field and notice that you have not sent the email to your sister but to a local business owner.
Awkward!!
We can send a man to space and retrieve him from space, but
we can’t retrieve electronic words from cyberspace? Where are our priorities!?
Oh that they would invent the “unsend” button. If you can
“undo edits” and “undo formatting” and “unlike” and “unfriend” then why, oh why,
can’t we “unsend” with just the click of a left-curving arrow?
Have any big
electronic “oops” moments you want to share? I’d appreciate the chuckle…and the
company.

HI THERE!

I’m Shauna, and I help worn-out Christians find permanent rest and relief by retelling gospel stories that highlight Jesus’ kindness toward ordinary people like us.

In my books and on this blog, I weave history, theology, and fictional detail into a fresh retelling of familiar Bible stories. I started writing them because I needed them. When I shared my stories, people said they made the Bible come to life.

If you could use some permanent rest and relief, download my free Bible story devotional.
