Noticed celebs keep hitting 'reply all' on Twitter by accident

I saw two big singers get into it last week because one meant to DM a joke about the other's outfit but posted it publicly. The tweet was up for maybe 45 minutes before it got deleted, but screenshots are everywhere now. It made me pick between laughing at the honest mistake or feeling bad for the awkwardness it caused. I went with laughing because the whole thing was just so messy and human. Has anyone else seen a 'reply fail' that was actually kinda funny?

Wait, that's not a reply all though, that's just a public tweet instead of a DM. Reply all is when you mean to answer one person in a group chat or email chain and you accidentally include everyone. I see people mix those up all the time. What you're talking about is still a huge mess up, don't get me wrong. It's just a different kind of tech fail. The funniest one I ever saw was a guy trying to complain about his boss over work email and he sent it to the whole company list. That was a true reply all disaster.

Yeah @dakotawood, that email story is the real deal.

My old office had a rule after someone hit reply all on a company wide "free pizza" email to ask if there were vegan options. Suddenly 300 people were in a chain about dietary restrictions. It's the same core mistake, hitting the wrong button, but the scale changes everything.
