... is the bain of my existence. The State of North Carolina has 30,000 e-mail addresses in the directory. All 30,000 of those people have the ability to send their idiotic thoughts, religious forwards, and retirement announcements to the entire state, and 95% of the recipients don't understand the difference between Reply and Reply All.

Why won't someone kill me?

Jacktor, stop sending me photos of yourself. You're going to get me fired. By the way, that last one went out to the entire NC Health Department.

My friends and I used to send a lot of group emails to each other to coordinate our activities and such. So one day, a friend suggests that we all go to his place on Friday to each drink two forties and watch a movie. He accidentally sent it to one of our friend's ex-girlfriends whom he had just broken up with a few weeks earlier under REALLY bad circumstances (as in "broke off the engagement and moved out while she was at work" bad circumstances :lol: ). So I noticed this and replied to all of them (except the ex-girlfriend) that maybe the rest of them might want to remove her from their address books now.

A different friend writes back this wiseguy reply to the original sender:

Quote:
GARY
I think I'll write an email to all my friends.

GARY'S BRAIN
Better not send it to Tara.

GARY
Don't worry, I won't.
(begins writing)
"Dear Tara..."
(hits "send")
D'oh!


and then like a complete schmuck follows up about three minutes later with this reply:

Quote:
I'm in!

-Tara


except Tara was included in the "reply all" on the second email. :lol:

So the friend who was the ex-boyfriend wrote back this a short time later:

Quote:
Matt,

You just did it yourself. Will you please be fucking careful with the reply
to all fucking button! Look below, fucking '<email addy>' appears
is the address list.

She just forwarded it to me with some shit attached. I don't need it!
Needless to say she doesn't find your joke funny.

ALL OF YOU, BE CAREFUL. DO NOT SEND HER SHIT. OBLITERATE HER FROM ALL YOUR
ADDRESS BOOKS.

Thanks.


Gary's revenge:

Quote:
Matt: "Let me write back and say "I'm in" - Tara"

Matt's Brain: "Better not send it to Tara"

Matt: "Don't worry I won't"
(Hits REPLY ALL and starts writing.....)



Good times. :lol:

As a fellow grammar/spelling Nazi, I hope you'll appreciate this
