Because I have a business in Washington, I received an email about some sales tax rate changes in the very few areas that have a sales tax in the state.
 
Some dipstick does a reply all to say that his business is closed and to take him off the list.  That, of course, causes three other dipsticks to do a reply all for the same reason.
 
Now the people they want to reach, are NOT in the email list, and there's an entire area at the bottom that says "If you want to be removed from the list click this unsubscribe link [followed by a link]."
 
It's no wonder their businesses failed!
 
[Edit:  Make that FOUR other dipsticks!  This email has become hotter than most of our forum topics!  Idjits.]

Please remove me from this list.

Five dipsticks...

Actually more than five (and, no, I wasn't counting Beagle).  Now some advertiser in the UK has gotten involved and is emailing one of the dipsticks who replied - WTH??!
 

I've been trying to remove me from my own list for years now.
 
I'm so stubborn at times.
 
I might just change my handle to DaveZeroZeroZero.

I had to write a delete rule.  There have been no less than 15 emails now and not one person has actually read the flippin' original email where it says "Responses to this message are not monitored."

Fixed.

This happens a couple times a year at work. Someone sends out a mass mailing to a large group of departments. Then the "Reply All"s start coming back..."I am no longer in that department", "Please remove me from the list", etc. Then others send "Reply All" messages to tell the others NOT to "Reply All". And on, and on. Takes a day or two to finally settle down.

Yep, over 40 dipsticks and an amazing number with C-level titles (like CEO, COO, CFO, etc.).  None of them read I guess...
 
Glad I wrote that delete rule!  Though it still beeps through to my phone for each one...
