Here is a bit of advice regarding work e-mails, told to us at work by one of the company's attorneys - always write each and every e-mail as if it will be read aloud in court to a cranky judge, and angry jury, with your mom in the audience. Need to send a fun/humorous e-mail at work? Make sure it in non-political, non-religious, non-sexual, not cruel, not degrading, and never, ever, ever talking smack about a coworker.
"this guy looks like reggie LOL" lol
“One’s nostrils can only take so much abuse”.....omg that’s the best comment on Abercrombie ever
Something like this happened at the large research university I worked at and it paralyzed the entire email system for several hours. I was relatively young (20s) at the time. I remember thinking how incredible it was that all these people who worked for this institution of science and higher learning failed to realize how their attempt to stop the problem or comment on it was making it worse with every email. Realizing that I understood this while so many people with more education and standing than me didn't gave me a nice ego boost.
Upper corporate sent an email to the entire corporate staff, over 100,000 people, that was meant for about 10 people. Everybody tried to privately reply "I don't think this is for me?" but it automatically replied to everybody. Jammed the system and we couldn't work for over 12 hours, by 1:00 PM people were replying in all caps yelling "Don't reply to all", "Stop emailing me, who are you?", "GO LAKERS!", etc. - It was a freaking nightmare, I finally left at 3:30, it wasn't fixed until 11AM the next day. I worked in escrow at a title company. Ridiculous delays due to inadequate tech support.
I'd have probably done the same with my favorite sports teams, one by one, "GO (AZed) CARDINALS!", then next email, "GO RAMS!", then next, "GO BATTLEHAWKS!" and so on, just to offend everyone, and probably get terminated for sending more emails than anyone else, but it'd be hilarious
I work for the 5th largest cable company in the US. I used to work with a man that sent an email complaining someone stole his pizza to everyone in the company, including the CEO.
2:30 This is why "Reply All" should be at least a two-stage process with manual confirmation. :)
As to the use of the term "pork": I would have said something like, "I'm so gonna bacon-lettuce-and-tomato you later!" Be classy! ;)
8:11 "I'd appreciate it if in the future you'd let everyone decide on their own whether or not Pete is a f*ckwad." OKAY ... And, that boss owes me a coffee and a keyboard.
8:29 TBF, if you've had a litter of kittens dumped on you, it's an emergency, and company protocols should take that into consideration! (Obviously do NOT adopt-out kittens too early--check with your vet if you're unsure! )
18:37 Oh, yeah. The "voluntary" contribution to charity. In the 1980's I worked for a bank and the United Gouger's Fund campaign was on. I was fully willing to contribute until I found out that the contribution wasn't voluntary. Wound up rage-quitting that hell-hole of a job because management had the unmitigated gall to try to strong-arm me. Eff 'em. Eff 'em where it hurts. I don't think this bank even exists any longer. Good.
8:39 I read “claim handler” as “clam handler” and was intrigued to see what this job entailed and what they did.
Handled clams, obviously...
I did one of those once. For our annual Christmas dinner we had to RSVP with our dinner selection. A coworker of mine didn't have an email account setup, so I replied on his behalf. Initially I jokingly wrote "I'll have the turkey (or whatever it was). Ryan will be there, but he won't need dinner. He'll just be getting drunk." Glad I didn't hit send on that one.
What're you talkin' 'bout? Bourbon sours ARE dinner! :)
Not really cringe-worthy, but back in the 00s I saw the entire internal email system of the large insurance company I worked at completely paralysed for a day, to the point where IT had to use sorcery or something to fix it, because an email went out to a large mailing list and someone decided to Reply All. A number of other people then decided to inform them that they shouldn't have hit Reply All, but the way the system worked replying to a Reply All also resulted in a Reply All. Then MORE people tried to let everyone know that they should stop using Reply All... you get the idea. Carnage, but also hilarious.
I was the source of the original email. I can't even remember what it was about but only that it was something completely routine.
"Hey, everybody! Casa Taco Muy Grande now has the Enchiladas Verdes at $9.95!"
This is fucking hilarious. People thinking they will be the voice of reason, when in reality their pompous attitude ultimately just makes everything worse. Brilliant 10/10 would pay to watch
9:45 Actually the Spanish Inquisition would send you a 30 days notice prior to your being brought before them so as to be able to prepare your case for defense.
THANK YOU.
Still a funny skit though.
Today I learned. xD👍
When someone accidentally sent a test email to over 1 million NHS staff nationwide. I remember seeing the email and shrugged it off as Junk Mail. Shortly afterwards, it came through again ten times. I asked my colleagues if they were receiving this test email. They said no. Next thing we knew, the emails were coming in their hundreds. It was 8AM and the day hadn't even started yet. It wasn't just the test email being sent again and again, there were some staff hitting Reply All asking everyone what the heck was going on. The system crashed and we could no longer open it. Thankfully we were still able to work on the main patient record system. But the problem was that most of our work involved accepting new electronic referrals via email and responding to patient email enquiries. It took almost the whole week to calm down because lots of people were hitting Reply All and restarting the chain. I went to Twitter and saw lots of staff making jokes about the whole ordeal and someone even went out of their way to make a parody Twitter and LinkedIn account for the "sender". The joke being that the "sender" had no connections. It got so bad that it was all on the news. Rumours went around about what the cause was. Whether it was someone that messed up big time on the job or it was an attempted cyber attack. I kept the original email as a "souvenir".
I work at a bank, one that is fairly sizable. Occasionally our HR department or whoever's in charge of events will email the entire bank about opportunities for free tickets to events the bank is sponsoring. There is always a woman who hits "reply all" saying "Thank you, I need x amount of tickets for me and my family." Every. Single. Time.
Wait why are there only 2 comments I’m confused
Wait nvm I just realized I’m an idiot and this was posted like 6 minutes ago
your first
Indeed
@@CroatianComplains they're third. How is it hard to find this out when theres 3 comments
lol. you're quicker than you think!😁
Lowest bid story: this is EXACTLY what one of my engineering professors said. You find out your bid was accepted and the first reaction is, "Oh crap, what did I forget?!"
Also, I very seen this kind of "reply all" nonsense happen with a government agency of about 300 people when a couple people wanted to say something about the union push for "agency shop".
1:53 as a German, seeing Schadenfreude being used in an English text was surprising.
It's becoming more popular as time goes by. Also Backpfeifengesicht. :)
@@josepherhardt164 I've heard that like a single time in an English context before lol
@@babymetalenjoyer it's one of those things where English speakers don't really have a single word to describe taking pleasure in others' misfortune (well, sort of, but no one seems to know how "epicaricacy" is pronounced), so we took a word from your guys' dictionary
I like these videos because of the looping that happens sometimes lol
...times
*beeeep*
I like it because its like an audiobook but more funny
thought skipping ended after records lol/J
10:33 The "Stop replying all!" reply alls and "Remove me from this list" is why someone in an email told us to create a rule to throw all of those emails from the same subject in the trash. I spent the entire work day watching the number by my Trash folder increase.
My sister just heard a FNAF UCN Foxy voice line and now the 5 year old is saying 'I CAME FOR YE BOOTY' over and over again,help
have yor parents found her saying it yet?
Uh oh
Oh no
So I work in education. A kid sent an All Staff in District email, I like tacos. This was 8 years ago and considering that no one knows how long everyone had the ability to send all, it's tremendously funny that is all this kid did was that. Now that ability is restricted to a special AD group that you are moved into and automatically removed from after 10-15 minutes. Not even the superintendent can send all. It's terrifying when you're new and that ticket comes across your desk.
I periodically receive emails meant for someone else who lives in another city (same last name). Got an email from a lawyers office one day with some very confidential documents attached. Emailed the person back to tell them to check the email address properly next time and I received a very threatening email back from the secretary. All I thought was “oh hell no bitch”, I was just trying to be helpful and nice.
So I contacted my Great Uncle, who was the head of the Bar association for that province at the time (they didn’t know who they were fucking with). I received a very apologetic email from the head of that law firm not too long after my Uncle tore them a new asshole.
Moral of the story, don’t try to come down hard on people because of your mistake. Because you don’t know who those people may know\be related to.
A college friend of mine had the same issue; she was always getting important and confidential student emails meant for a journalism professor with the same name (we weren't in that department). The professor knew about this and always warned the students to double check, but it just kept on happening. She told me that she sometimes forwarded the emails on if she felt like it that day, but you'd think that *journalism* students would be a bit more careful about checking sources ...
Dying here, reading the one about Pete.
Same here, the bosses response is the best. 😂😂😂
I'm a little late to the party, but this just happened in the building where I live:
Someone broke a light fixture moving out, so the management company sent a video clip to all us tenants, asking if we recognized the people. One tenant hit Reply All, but it was a generic message, so no big deal (something like 'I'll keep an eye out'). Until...his neighbor also emailed the manager and wrote "I can't believe you're listening to this guy, he's a drunk and you can't trust anything he says, and if he tries to get into my place again while drunk, he will face Consequences" and then...you guessed it...he hit Reply All.
It's going to be interesting next time they meet in the hall.
I work at a pizza place, we have this app we use for communication, (mainly meant for getting shifts covered) but this one guy always sends photos of what someone has fucked up to the "everyone" chat and it gets really annoying.
So, like, a pepperoni-and-sausage pizza sent to a synagogue? How badly can one eff up a pizza order?
Omg I thought "pork" was an edit
"They had me at the first half, not gonna lie"
Imagine getting an email about the state of a men’s shitter at the office of one of your vendors.
2:37 did he really say pork 😭😭
We should just turn this comment section onto a random reply all email lol
Don’t not send email via reply all
I really do have to wonder what happened to that private. I imagine a fat article 15 at least was slapped on him
Mine was a VERY high ranking corporate level executive sending out a long thank you email to everyone in the US. A follow up email came in almost immediately about certain workers not getting the attention they deserved in a rather sarcastic manner, but they didn’t realize until it was too late when they sent the email it went NATIONAL. A quick following email apology came out with a simple explanation. Idk the current status of the person who made the email mistake, but there was plenty of follow up emails in the chain I guess for damage control.
1:48 Z could honestly sue since her privacy was violated
This is the first time ive seen that animation at the end actually work. And i've been bingeing for days.
If you need to tell people to stop replying, use the BCC field.
Oh I'm glad there still making these
"Our" cleaning company sent a circular to all resident managers (who proceeded to forward it to all employees) complaining about (presumably male) co-workers shitting beside the toilet. Attached some photos 😂
Nobody cares who is first. What do you achieve by being first? Why do you have to say that you are first?
cookies... free cookies...
- it's a well-known fact of UA-cam that you get secret free cookies if you are first.
I have never been first, and I have never personally witnessed said cookies.... but it's gotta be true, right??? I mean... cuz free cookies are the only reason my dog & I do ANYTHING at all... sssooooo....
it's the only thing that makes sense... Right???
mmmm.....
YEAHHHH...
FREE COOKIES!
@@darlenesnyder3599 No way, I hope they give chocolate chip cookies
@@darlenesnyder3599 you should actually consider admitting yourself into a psychiatric ward, or casting yourself far away from the rest of us commenters instead of seeking cookies
I love the Halloween costume one. Hilarious and harmless. 🤣
I'm surprised that the Thomson Reuters Lamp-gate/reply-all-gate never made it here
Not an unintentional moment but a coworker quitting that day sent the company wide distribution list thanking her close colleagues and then blasting managers accusing them of racism and being lazy and talking shit to people that never do work all by name. Was hard to talk to those individuals afterwards.
She must've lived by the mantra " may the bridges I burn light the way" 😉
The head of my major’s department sent out an email to everyone last week about some scholarship opportunity. Someone hit “reply all” saying something like “this sounds interesting, how do I apply?”
This was followed by someone else saying “I apologize for my subordinate, who works in IT, and his inability to use an email application. He will receive additional training.”
I haven’t deleted it because it’s hilarious to look at.
26:16 lol wheel of fortune before and after
"the great distribution list disaster of 2015 inches"
In about the early 2000s, a guy transferred to the office I worked at from another office in the organisation in a different part of the country (the UK). Email had only recently been introduced by the employer and people often made errors in the "to" field. A female colleague of this guy from his old office would confide with him about the problems she had with her partner but would manage to copy in the whole of our office. He didn't stay long.
10:03 My official reply would have been-
Put her......in the comfy chair.
THE COMFY CHAIR!?!?!?
The email wasn't cringey, but the reason behind it was. "So and So no longer works for this company. Do not accept any further emails from them through the company account."
The guy was caught by a police child porn sting operation and had been fired.😳
13:00 - I'm also surprised that a company-wide eMail was sent about the funeral of a baby in the first place.
If anyone is familiar with Good Omens...Who else things that Crowley routinely starts the reply all chains after gluing coins to the sidewalk.
1:52 This is the definition of unwise.
2:00 you and quiet mouse are ducking monsters.
I HATE REPLY ALL!!!!! and for good measure let's throw in group texts too!!!! My inbox and cell would blow up with people answering 1 email or group text instead of just replying back to that 1 person.......i would send a not so polite response letting them know we didn't all need to know their response
Morton salt
You are first, *legend*
Regarding The first post: Occasionally I see mass emails about bathrooms being dirty or trashed, including attached photos Several people reply-all with their disgust.
Others can’t resist sending a reply-all to every all-staff email with their opinionated comments. They treat it as their social media feed where they feel like everyone should know their thoughts
I was thinking it was 2018, but I was probably one of those affected by the great distribution list disaster of 2015. I also was working day shift in a department where processing email in and out and sending notifications was a big part of the job for a dozen person at 2 sites.
Type your own address in the recipient field and bcc everyone else. No one will be able to reply all. Your colleagues will thank you.
12:58 That is the most fucked-up thing someone could ever say in that situation.
Omg, an old vid with the end graphic still working! Long time no see.
The words loop longer than Fruit Loops
1:55 Yes. QMD should have been fired too, along with the storyteller.
@8:14 Dear God, my sides!
I came back from a medical leave, & had like, 230 REPLY ALL emails, where the original was a goodbye email, meant to reply all, then several, bye & good luck, then went into, are you aware you sent this to the whole company, then a couple we don't care about you leaving, then a giant string of please stop emailing me, stop replying all, stop replying all to tell us to stop replying all, what are these emails, stop replying all to ask questions, blah blah blah loop.
Eventually, IT sent a final email, saying they've blocked the chain, or whatever, & any additional replies, will be deleted.
Every time I came back from a medical leave, there were reply-all chains, but usually just from my department; that other one, was to the entire company.
The reply-all from the worker-bee, asking, John Stumpf, for a raise for all employees, got completely deleted, by IT. Back from medical leave, saw only the email from IT, saying an email was deleted from everyone's emails.
I wonder why they never deleted all the stupid reply-alls?
_Five tick one tee one enmaya fifty five_
The 2nd story about the print shop...it was right to fire Z, but the little mouse who caused her demise showed some clear lack of moral fiber and should have been fired also. Little mouse should have gone to her boss
Looks like she wanted more than just a kiss
Abercrombie 💀💀💀💀
This is why I’m pro-inbox zero, besides my strong preference for in-person communication or text. Most workplaces rely far too heavily on email.
No no. The 2nd one is criminal. It doesn't matter what Z said she was going to do, you stealing her email and fraudulently sending the email is a crime and you are a bad person for doing that. You deserve all the bad things in your life and many more.
Beware the quiet ones.
