Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Have you ever text/emailed the person you are talking about/slagging off by mistake??

Or maybe I really do love everyone? Nah. That's certainly not true.

On the original subject, I used to be mildly notorious for my all-staff emails. Including one satirising the head of HR at the company (Shirley Doasyouaretold). A particularly memorable one involved asking whoever had 'borrowed' the air conditioning unit to return it no questions asked.

I got a 'call' about that one. I had bleached hair, green nails and wore purple DMs with my suit. They weren't quite sure what to make of me. So I got promoted.

One of my colleagues once sent a polite e-mail to a notoriously unpleasant and bad-tempered finance guy, and accidentally signed it "Love Mum" :)

I sent an email criticising my then boss to my then boss. She was in a meeting in her office. There was only one thing I could do. I knew she wasn't at her computer as she was at her meeting table. So I just walked in, said 'excuse me I just need to do something' and deleted the email from both her inbox and deleted items. She never mentioned it!

A girl I work with was whinging on and on and on - so I sent an IM to a colleague saying simply 'Shut Up' but sent it to the whinging girl instead.

She promptly shut up and later thanked me for stopping her :-)

I posted something on another forum once and then got a PM from someone that they'd meant to send to their friend saying really rather hurtful things, only she'd clicked on reply to message by mistake so sent it direct to me

I sent it back to her saying I presume you sent this to the wrong recipient and she came back with a grovelling apology, but it still really hurt
