Parents!
-
[RANT] Aaarrrghhhh, My kids go to school, they have classmates, classmates have parents and those parents organize things like joint parties, driving to an event, presents for the teacher, … So one parent takes initiative and sends a mail to everyone to organize something. Great, very nice, no problem there. But then it seems that every single parent of every single classmate feels the need to press "reply all" to send "thank you", "how nice is this", "you're amazing" type of messages :mad:. As if I give a f... damn!! and of course, somehow the wrong email address is used, so you ask kindly to change it to something else, no, just press "reply all" again with some other useless message. Stupid parents ! :sigh: (had to get that of my chest, thank you for reading ;-))

Considering the number of spam mails I routinely delete every day (most days it is 20-30 of them, but sometimes it is worse), handling those extra "reply to all" things doesn't add very much. Delete - delete - delete - ... That is only one more reason to hit Delete. Those are easily identified. I am slightly more worried about those that I immediately classify as spam - but they are not. If I hadn't done that double-check of my Deleted Mail folder a week ago, discovering that one deleted message was in fact legit, I would tomorrow morning have been woken up by a guy from the power company out to check that my complete electric installation is according to regulations. (I am about to tear it all out, having it replaced, so we had the check postponed until that work is completed.)
