A story in which a character, often in a fit of anger, sends some form of communique that they then want to take back, only it's too late! Wacky hijinks ensue! Usually, if it doesn't get taken back, the character's in danger of losing their job or their relationship. It almost always ends in one of two ways: they manage to get it back at the last second, usually through a Zany Scheme, or the person it was intended for gets it, but doesn't mind. See also Love Letter Lunacy and Irrevocable Order. Examples of Irrevocable Message include:

If you're in a drama, however, beware: dramatic media are not as forgiving with this trope as comedic media, as an Irrevocable Message in dramatic media tends to result in some kind of tragedy or other serious loss.
