Uh, what the what
May. 16th, 2012 02:49 pmNote to self: Stop while you're ahead. Or not. Whatever. I have a coworker whose email she shares with her husband. I think I got her email to use to send her a Netflix subscription years ago. And then she wanted another coworker's email and it was just easier to send that way. However, that time her husband added me to the forward list. I read the first week's worth and then I put him on the delete after I made sure it was a forward and not a legitimate email from her.
After the first year I started forwarding him stuff too because hey, it's only fair. I usually restrict it to stuff he might actually already agree with because the dude has a license to carry a handgun and I choose to respect that. :P Which means when his forwards start FOX News, I make sure not to forward "Gay Marriage= What part of equal do you fuckers not understand?" Yeah. I got a real email this morning about something I sent. (Something about CEO's disclosing the pay gap between the minions and themselves, I think?) In return I get a "if I started a company, I think I'd be entitled to the biggest paycheck." And it went downhill from there. Dude, I don't say a word about how I think it's highly unlikely that your theory about Obama being the actual Antichrist is true, nor do I point out that the first forward of the day is contradicting the second forward and they're both from the same politician which means that you seem to give more weight to the stuff I send than the stuff you claim to support. Which is scary. (But useful for when I rule the world.)
So. Awkward moment of "really? REALLY?" and then I hit delete, ranted here, and remembered the whole gun thing. God bless the South.
