Oh my boss knows full well who sent it to them. They just don’t have the balls to call one person out. So we all have to be reminded or told off like little children.IdleHans said:
Surely the culprit is easily identified by the recipients of the offending email having a look at the 'From' field. Or have I missed something?The Red Robin said:
Someone on our team must have sent an attachment and not a SharePoint link to my boss this week as 15 of us just got a group email to reminds us not to do that.

This happens to Mrs Idle quite often, normally on the work Whatsup group, usually for something that happened on her day off. It annoys me more than her, I think, but she's a much nicer person.0 -
I got one of these emails at an old job, my boss finished it with the line 'consider this a warning'. HR were copied in on my reply querying why I was being given a written warning without even a discussion beforehand, especially as it was for something someone else had done. Never did receive another email like that. I have no idea why my wife says she'd hate to have to manage meThe Red Robin said:

Watford at home first game of the season. Harvey Knibbs slots the winner after another well rehearsed corner routine. Unbridled joy, great to be in the covered end for moments like that, absolutely why I love football, explosion of happiness no drug can replicate. Hugging pals, going mental. Clock a bloke who I'm guessing is around my age, doing exactly that and it blew my head off how someone could be not living totally in that moment for the moment. Actually made me question the point of human existenceChunes said:When a team scores a goal and you see fans struggling to unlock their phones, select camera, click record, and only then start celebrating while they're recording themselves.1 -
It's actually a lot more sinister than people realise. They're all narcissists and think they're the main character.North Lower Neil said:
It's weird to me in that presumably the idea is basically to get that little social media dopamine hit when someone likes the photo/video.Carter said:

But just celebrating the goal and moment properly is a bigger dopamine hit in the first place?
That's how I feel doing it anyway.2 -

That should be in its own thread of "things that utterly fucking disgust you"sillav nitram said:People picking their nose in public, especially if they’re sitting next to or opposite me.
I agree, truly rancid habit and I say that as a professional nose miner, always in secret though, if for no other reason than to have access to bog roll and a sink. A bit like wanking I suppose
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THERE"
Errrr, nothing, just digging my nose out1 -
Going to pick something up from the floor and missing it, then going for a second grab and missing again. Sometimes I go for a quick third grab to make up the lost time and miss that as well.
So now I've learned to just take my time on the second attempt cause I nearly smashed my flat up once over it, which felt reasonable.0 -
