pulse is a recurring column in which we ask our readers what they think about a variety of topics in a weekly survey and report our findings.
Send salty text messages to the wrong recipients. Sending confidential financial information to the wrong email address. Say the wrong thing during a tense negotiation, or anger a potential client with an ill-timed, ill-considered joke.

We will compile a list of top responses and post them on Inman next Tuesday.
