Paid Members John Matrix Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 I thought this thread had passed me by if I'm honest, concur with an awful lot of stuff in here, boy has my piss just been well and truly boiled...  So this is like a one two punch...  1) The 'Reply to All'  So you've made a simple error. But not content with letting you know that discreetly so that it can be quickly and easily resolved, I'm going to copy every fucker on the project board in unnecessarily so they're all fully aware of the cock up you've made.  2) The "I've spotted a spelling mistake".  No, its CLEARLY a typo. I know activities isn't spelt actitivies. I know THE isn't spelt teh, and I know YOU are a cnut.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted January 17, 2017 Author Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 'Nother work based one here.  People phoning me up rather than emailing, when the resulting conversation means I HAVE TO FUCKING WRITE ALL OF THE INFO DOWN ANYWAY. Bang it in an email and send it over so I can easily access it, so I'm not wading through 8000 Word documents or reams of paper everyday, you total wankers. I haven't been in this job long enough to tell people to fuck off and put it in an email either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 We have a guy who religiously calls to tell us he's sent an email. That really irritates me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Tommy! Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 Reply to all cunts are the worst. Â Getting a catch all FYI e-mail and 2 minutes later getting a reply all with just OK on it just makes you look a cunt. Â Any any one who I see reply all to pick up spelling looks a cunt, not the one who made a typo, because it shows they can't work outlook properly.

cobra_gordo Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 We have a guy who religiously calls to tell us he's sent an email. That really irritates me. In a similar vein we get folk emailing us and then calling two minutes later when they haven't had a response leading to a conversation like this two or three times a day: Pillock: "Did you get my email" Me: "Yes" Pillock: "Have you red it yet?" Me: "You sent it me a minute ago, no" Pillock: "When will you be able to deal with it by?" Â The last bit gets me the most as fuck knows how I'm supposed to know how long something is going to take to deal with if I haven't opened it yet.

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 We had a guy last year accidentally sent an email to the company's all@. Then the relevant people replied to all@. Then people started replying asking not to be included. To all@. Fucking idiots. Â My favourite one though was the guy who must have been on holiday, came back a week after it had all died down and replied to all@ to ask not to be included.

Paid Members stumobir Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 We have a woman that marks every email she sends as Urgent or Important or whatever it is that puts a wee red exclamation mark beside it, ironically she has one of the least important jobs in the department. Before you think I'm a cunt for sneering at her just know that she uses smileys in her emails and is about 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperBacon Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017   We had a guy last year accidentally sent an email to the company's all@. Then the relevant people replied to all@. Then people started replying asking not to be included. To all@. Fucking idiots. This was a regular occurrence at my last job, which was for one of the largest employers in the world. Cue endless emails from people everywhere from Australia to Zimbabwe replaying to all. One of the most glorious days at one of my old places was the day an intern emailed the whole company, about 6,000 people from all over the globe. It shut down the server because Everyone was saying "leave me out, blah blah blah" whinging like right little dicks. Until the CEO, who was a funny fucker, emailed to say leave it alone, it was an intern, a mistake and the next person to reply would be fired. To which someone replied:"well, I'm handing my notice in today, so cheers for letting me do it this way" excellent  What griped me was we used to have a lot of promotions announced via email, and the usual brown nosers would reply:"Wow, congrats, well deserved" despite being in the same office as said promoted person, sometimes on the same desk, sometimes sat next to them, just so the directors would see they were team players. Twats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 I accidentally fucked our server when I went on holiday once — I set my out of office, and then hit send on one last email — the bloke I sent it to was going on holiday as well, and it hit his out-of-office, and bounced back about ten second after I left for a fortnight. I got back, and they'd had to have a massive overhaul of the email system, use emergency accounts, because me and this bloke had set up an inadvertent game of out-of-office pingpong that went on for a week till he got back from his holiday, flooding out both companies with thousands of emails.

Paid Members Nick Soapdish Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017  People who insist on using lifts in shopping centres. As a parent of a double buggy (more often now my daughter is older, a single instead) shopping centres are a pain in the arse. Lakeside, one of my locals has fair few escalatorsvut only 3 lifts in the centre of the place. However, more often then not I can't get in because a young couple couldn't stand on some FUCKING MOVING STAIRS TO MOVE DOWN ONE FLOOR. They are for wheelchairs, buggies and for people who have issues with mobility not groups of spotty tears. Fuck off  Lakeside only has a ground and first floor doesn't it?  I know the food court is on the 3rd floor but why would anyone need to get into a lift (wheelchairs/elderly/buggies aside).  Exactly! That's why it angers me so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's odd. I only ever get one bounce back if someone has their OOO on so if I email them a second time during it I get no further automated response Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted January 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 Yeah, I don't fully remember what caused it — something about the setup. We had a lot of email problems — we used to all use Eudora for our office email, which was great until you gave it one particular task to do, which fucked it up permanently.
