Whenever you're questioning whether you should click send on that email that might be a little too mean or not really funny, here's some advice — don't send it. 

Whether intended for an internal list among friends, or blasted for a whole community to read, there are some emails that never should be sent — and it seems like the problem is particularly bad at colleges.

Students, professors, and administrators are all offenders — these are 10 emails that never should have been sent on a college campus.

'Deranged' Maryland Sorority Girl Yells At Sisterhood

Earlier this year, Gawker published an email sent by a member of the University of Maryland's Delta Gamma chapter to her sorority. In the "expletive and CAPS-ridden email tirade," the DG sister publicly and aggressively chastised the sorority for what she perceived as their awkwardness during parties.

Since it went viral, the letter has had numerous public readings, including by celebrities like Michael Shannon and Gilbert Gottfried.

Worst Line:"And for those of you who are offended at this email, I would apologize but I really don't give a f***. Go f*** yourself."



Michigan State Professor Insults Muslim Student Group

In 2006, a mechanical engineering professor at Michigan State University sent an email to the school's Muslim Student's Association in response to a planned on-campus protest. He used some terrible stereotypes to describe Islam — for example, saying that Muslim culture referred to women as "whores."

The professor later apologized for the "tactless and hyperbolic language" he used in the email.

Worst Line:"Please return to your ancestral homelands and build them up yourselves instead of troubling Americans."



Vassar Accidentally Admits 76 Applicants

While not technically an email error, Vassar College made a major Internet mistake last year when they falsely told 76 applicants that they were admitted to the school. Vassar accidentally left up a placeholder "test letter" that over 100 students viewed, before informing them that the verdict was due to a system error and may have been incorrect, the New York Times reported.

Vassar apologized to the effected applicants and said they would reimburse the $65 application fees.
