Good: Searching the ICQ database for your mark (VERY unusual name), finding their email address, and using a program to sign it up to over 1000 mailing lists.
Bad: No real way to botch that one. That was just awesome. |
Okay, now on the flip side of this one. I work for a big company which does a lot of web sales. I get to be the one who gets to email the customers to let them know their order was canceled because..... (fill in the reason - stock availability, web pricing error, credit card declined, possible fraud, etc)... The end result is my email address ends up on such lists when people get to be real idiots about it. Come on, I personally am not the reason they didn't get what they fancied!! So now I get like 200 plus emails which are thankfully filtered while at least another 20 or so each day manage to sneak past the spam filters. It's a pain when I normally get like 500 emails a day (and why posting is not usually my thing since I do emails all day long!) on order issues, system notices and just plain regular traffic. So, stuff like this should never be aimed at the individuals who honestly don't know you and would never bring you grief intentionally. Folks like me really appreciate it when we do get the occasional, unlooked for thanks, too!!
Enough said... Not a jerk but still suffer because of other jerks...
Thanks!! :> |
