Series of events regarding an accidental email that was sent to all of our ten offices in North America (to probably 1500 people):
12:20 Eileen: Attached please find the flight itinerary for blah blah blah things and stuff.
12:21 David: I'm not sure why I received this message - may have been meant for someone else?
12:21 Russel: I'm confused - why did I receive this email?
12:23 Ethan: I am also a bit confused. I received this email as well.
12:23 Zlata: Likewise, I am not sure why I have received this.
12:23 Jane: I'm confused as well. Not sure why I got this e-mail.
12:23 Matt: Me either.
12:27 Sandy: Everyone, please stop replying to all.
12:27 Alison: If the email is not meant for you, please do not reply to all and send emails to everyone.
12:27 Chad: All -- it was obviously sent to the entire North America list by mistake. Please discontinue from replying to all.
12:27: Xiohao: Eileen, your email and the subsequent responses have significantly reduced my productivity.
12:27 Jenny: What is this for?
12:29 Minjie: Me either.
12:29 Alvin: Keepin it going. Hi everyone this was not meant for!
12:30 Ritesh: Me either.
12:31 Torsten: Well it's clearly a mistake. Since everybody seems to have received it no need to reply to everybody else - just makes it worse ;)
12:32 Saurabh: I think Eileen used the wrong email group.
12:32 Sen: Neither here... chain letter, resurrect!
12:32 Kendall: Likewise.
12:35 Andrea: unsubscribe
12:39 Adam: So this is what happens when we migrate to Outlook... ;-)
13:11 David: Same here.
13:18 Ryan: Same here? Just little bit confused on why I got this.
13:43: Karun: Same here...
It took me 0.2 seconds to immediately realize that the email was not intended for me to read and that the sender had obviously sent it to a group list that it was unintended for. I filed it away and went on my business, only to receive these twenty-three replies over the course of over an hour. These are people with PhDs and MBAs who are unable to determine whether or not an email was intended for them, even with a million reply-alls.
Share your unfortunate mis-directed stories with emails, texts, facebook and what have you.
