And one woman's nightmare became a reality when she did just that.
An anonymous woman who was attempting to send a late night Snapchat to her partner accidentally sent it to her boss.
The woman can be seen seductively lifting her T-shirt to reveal her breasts and stomach in the image intended for her love interest.
The image was accompanied with the caption: 'What ur missing this weekend :)'.
Not only did the woman mistakenly send the image to her colleague, her boss actually replied to her.
The shocked boss penned a note, which was snapped back to her, saying: 'Hi, you probably did not mean to send this to me, but please be more careful. I am your BOSS'.
How very awkward. Not only did he reply, he underlined "BOSS", perhaps to emphasise the severity of the situation. Lmao!!
