They mis-typed 'luck'....
Not quite in the same category but I was complaining about someone's poor grammer last night and typed "they should be able to proff-read their own work". Quite ironic but in my defense I was dual-boxing while under fire from some Council.

I was arguing with someone in tells on my birthday, and was saying that he's really messed me up, is being a jerk, etc, all up to the tell limit, and then I mistell it into Victory Forum chat.
Mod08 happened to be in VF that night, and he covered up for me wonderfully.
Mod08 fangurl for life!

One time, while on a PuG, I was teamed with a certain PB. And this PB loved himself some KB. I mean, he was throwing things around the room as though he were the Tasmanian Devil and physics applied. I was playing a melee toon at the time, and I was justifiably irritated.
So, I composed a tell to another team mate, who'd I'd taken to be fairly upstanding an knowledgeable. However, mid-composition, I quickly checked on the PB's vet badges. Ya know, to see if I should cut them some slack for being a new player.
Anyhow, I finished up my tell, and sent it on its way. Only to receive a rather confusing reply. See, I'd used the comma key to type out my tell, and the comma key automatically brings up a tell to /target... which I'd changed to the PB in question when I checked his badges. Gawd, that was awkward.
First thing that comes to mind...
I got some extremely explicit tells from a friend who meant them for somebody else they were talking with that night. Since it was extremely early in the morning for both of us early-morning-owls, he continued to misstell to me a few more times there after.
A lack of sleep has a wondrous effect on our cognitive faculties, doesn't it?
At that point, it wasn't just like a "lol erp tell". It was like the whole deal. <_____<
[RP Virtue]Psi: Bwaha. Getting the final hit with [Kick] is awesome. It's just like "*Kick Crotch* *crumple over*"
I see ones that go something like this now and then Usually on broadcast...
Person: Thanks for the team
Person: No, I am new.
Person: What zone is that in?
Person: TFF
Person: Hey, how come all of your text is green?
Others: They are on team chat.
Sometimes, when VU2010 gets quiet, I throw in a fake mistell to stir things up. One of them is currently someones sig on the boards.
"I know it conserves water, but peeing in the sink is considered nasty."
I've definitely been left blushing after a few that have gone out on the wrong channel or something similar. I don't actually remember seeing or recieving too many. I have seen many a time when you end up only getting half a conversation because someone insists on chatting in local when their partner isn't.
I amuse myself (and probably no-one else lol) with the occasionsl fake mt in chat, but one real mt came midway through a conversation with a friend about cooking, and about stuffing peppers with garlic n vegetable stuffing mix specifically.
'push it in with your finger, if u use an implement u could pierce the skin' was whT i said in the chat channel.

Did almost the same exact thing. Was on a mid-30s mixed PuG. I can't remember the tank's powerset, but she could not hold aggro worth a damn. No Taunt, no taunting aura power. After my third helping of cold floor, I was starting to get annoyed, so I composed this gem to the team leader, who I was friendly with:
"This tank SUCKS. She has no Taunt, and can't manage aggro worth a damn! Watta n00b!"
Which I accidently sent to the Tank in question. Like the jackass I am.
she sent this tell back: :-(
I promptly logged in shame.
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.

I juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust got this on my fire kin when I was asking a friend if they wanted to come run behemoths.
Me: hey wanna run behemoths with me?
Him: Ya man I was standing behind the goat when it just came out...
Me: What???

You could have just as easily been helpful towards her instead, and checked if she was new to the game or to being a Tank, and seen if you could give her some advice and improve both her enjoyment of the game and yours.

I was once playing on full PUG with several friends, one of which lived in my old apartment complex. There is a lady across from me who must be a fantastic cook, because the most amazing food aromas waft down the hallways sometimes. So my friend sends me a private tell:
Friend (in private tell): I'm absolutely starving, and the lady chef is making some stew. It smells so good that I can't concentrate! Argh!
Me (in TEAMCHAT): Don't worry, I'm going to break down her door and steal her soup.

For whatever reasons, I'm a reverse-invite magnet, although seldom the leader of a team. Usually, I send the person asking to join a polite tell with the leader's name. However, sometimes fingers run ahead of brain.
Beggar: let me on ur team
Me: <boss> is the leader. Please ask him.
While I'm typing this I get two more reverse invites just like the one above and one more after I sent it. I wanted to send the leader a warning about the pushy would-be teammate, but guess who it went to instead. For what it's worth, I apologized.
I had a friend who wanted form a TF and he proposed Citadel.
Too bad he mistyped it as Clitadel.
I told him I could never find the con to do that TF.
Luckily it was on a smallish channel so the ribbing 'ahem' wasn't too prolonged.
All you folks talking about massive bizarre erp/cluster F bomb/gibberish mistells without saying what they actually were should at least give us the highlights.
I never make or see interesting mistells, I'm boring/too good with the mouse.
