If You Do This in Email, I Hate You



Sadly, there are people who have email accounts, but only a limited grasp of basic computer or social skills. Matthew Inman of The Oatmeal has a new set of comics up illustrating the foibles of such folks.

i hate when someone i haven't heard from in a while finally emails me back...but it's some dumb 'joke', sentiment or photo-set with no personal greeting - that they sent to me and 20 others.

an email about how special i am that they want me to send back to them. WHY?!? oh, and they also sent it to 20 other people.

I just got an email from my kids' school that displayed 500 names and addresses in the "to" field.

Sigh.

I replied and explained what a BCC was. The office staff probably hates me now.

Actually, releasing birds at weddings often results in lost, starved, dead birds. Please read this article:

According to a friend now raises pigeons most "doves"
at weddings and funerals are actually pigeons.
The cool part is most of the pigeons he sells fly
home when they are released and he can sell them
again.
