A woman was left red-faced when her employer confronted her about her email signature dedicated to Canadian pop star Justin Bieber.
Jessica Stahle, who posts online under the username ‘jessicastahle32‘, went viral after sharing her story. She claimed her boss informed her that they could see her email signature, which read: “I am in love with Justin Bieber’s new haircut.”
The Los Angeles-based lass was mortified and revealed it had been there since she was 10 years old. But she couldn’t resist having a giggle about the awkward situation, which she recounted in a clip that’s gained more than 195,000 likes.
She wrote: “How many aura points did I lose when I found out today that every email I’ve sent since I was 10 from my primary email has the auto signature ‘I’m in love with Justin Bieber’s new haircut!!!!!!!~’ (The only reason I found out is because my manager brought it up).”
Fans were confused as to how the error managed to go unnoticed for so long. However, Jessica explained that she didn’t think it would show when sending emails from her iPhone or if she deleted it when constructing her email.
In a follow-up clip, she explained: “I did know that I had this signature on my email, but I thought that it was optional because when I went onto my laptop and emailed people from there. It showed it at the bottom and I just simply deleted it every single time on my iPhone, which is where I spend most of my emails from now.
“My job doesn’t really involve a lot of emailing, it’s just more like confirming, okay, I’ll be there at this time. Back and forth. It just says at the bottom, sent from my iPhone nothing about a signature.”
She admits that she probably should have deleted it years ago but she wanted to keep it for “memories of loving Justin Bieber like that”.
“Take this as a cautionary tale to just double-check your Gmail settings and make sure that your auto signature is what you would like it to be,” Jessica added.
TikTok users took to the comments in stitches at the hilarious fan-girl error. One user said: “I’m dying laughing,” while another commented: “I can’t believe nobody told you.”
Meanwhile, someone else added: “Not the point but the thought of using my personal email as my work email is horrifying.”
