Hi there, this is Web_Pict, illustrator and daydreamer, and I finally have something to share with You. This is not precisely sucky, more like stupidity with e-mailing and I suppose it would fit here.
So, I work in small company of four people, taking care of IT along many other things (yeah, multitasking but not multipaid). Few days ago, when I was just about to leave, my Boss came and said that our mailbox is filled by messages from people asking to be taken off of mailing list. I stood there for a moment.
- But Boss, we don’t use mailing lists for our customers?
Anyhow. I took a look at our box, and yes, it get filled by e-mails. First normal “please, take me off your list” and then angry “Why am I getting these messages? I want you to stop this spam-mailing!” and "F*** you there! Stop this!!"
Anybody guess what was going on? Well, I checked our mail and found a guilty. A multicast from a company - well, I’ll call them J-some - advertising their business. So, people at their mailing list got the mail, did not like that, and wanted their e-mail address taken off.
I suppose they just hit reply.
And J-some’s mail server just sent their mail to everyone on the list. So everyone got new message. Repeat that for sometime. Not a surprise that messages got more irritated. So messages kept coming and coming, and my Boss kept laughing at most colorful descriptions while deleting them. Well, someone got the glue and sent a message telling people to send their e-mails to company J-some by using address like info@j-some.xxx not just answering to sender. And I kept on thinking “Yes! Looks like I got something to customerssuck!”
And where was the title from? Eurovision song contest 2007, Finland.
