Dumbest thing I ever did:
When I was a student, I was having a secret relationship with a minister in my town. It was a small town where everyone knew everyone, and he'd only been divorced for a week when we got together so we were keeping it quiet.
One day I emailed a friend of mine to tell him about my new relationship. I spared no details. I was highly enthusiastic about my new partner's qualities as a man and as a lover.
Imagine my horror when I realised that instead of sending the email to my friend I had accidentally sent it to an online discussion forum about the church. I'd hit 'Reply' to the wrong email. My partner's colleagues all saw it. Half my friends saw it. Those who didn't subscribe to the forum had it forwarded to them by those who did. My secret relationship was public knowledge half an hour after sending the email.
I've never felt so stupid...
