Question about that "reply all" curse that keeps going around

A coworker told me last month to just hit "reply all" on a company-wide email because it was "faster." I followed their advice and accidentally sent a joke about our broken printer to 200+ people including the CEO. Got pulled into a meeting with my manager within 45 minutes. Has anyone else fallen for this trap or is it just me and my bad luck with tech advice?

Isn't it funny how the same shortcut that saves you 2 seconds can cost you hours of embarrassment? I've noticed that pattern everywhere now - people rushing through small things that end up creating massive headaches down the line.

Isn't it wild how we keep doing that even after getting burned? I've definitely been there where I tried to save a few minutes on something and ended up having to redo the whole thing in front of everyone. It's like our brains just forget the lesson the second we see a chance to be slightly faster.
