I've luckily avoided any mortifying mistells (narrowly, in some instances... very, very narrowly). Most of mine are tame, but there was one that really made me grimace.
In a past MMO, there was a girl who hated me because of some entirely high school-esque drama. She liked a guy who had previously liked me, and then he had become really petty when I didn't reciprocate his feelings. Because I had once held his attention and because he had surely talked up how mean and terrible I was for "friendzoning" him, she doubly hated my guts. She kept saying very passive-aggressive things about me, so I tried to steer clear of her as much as possible. One day, my guildie pointed out that her alt looked a lot like my character.
The game had an "inspect" feature that let you zoom up on another character's face, so I used it, not realizing that the game automatically sent the next whisper you wrote to whoever you had inspected. I went to respond to a friend joking that I should visit him in Florida and sent a message saying something like, "Why would I want to visit a place full of swamps and old people?" It wasn't anything incriminating, but sending a random message to someone I entirely wanted to avoid made me cringe. =|
