il_serpente Posted April 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Davkaus said: Our IT team are trying to cut down on licenses so emailed everyone with a certain product asking if they still need it. They used CC instead of BCC, and so far I'm up to 37 individuals (who are, ostensibly, well-educated) emailing everybody back to confirm they do/don't. I'd like to find those 37 people and the idiot who doesn't know what BCC is and individually punch them in the face. I work for a large government agency in the US. Occasionally someone mistakenly sends out a local message to a national mailgroup, including just last week. For the rest of the day our inboxes get flooded with people who have replied to all saying either "Please remove me from this mail group" or "Please don't reply all". It's always a reminder of the sheer number of idiots who somehow have found employment in this world. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's irrational, I really shouldn't care, and I have good friends who have them, but for some reason I think badly of anyone who would want one. Perfect for the thread title, really. There is something so innately naff about them though isn’t there. Of all the little wealth flexes people do, they are up there with flashing your watch in photos and leaving labels on clothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted April 5, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 5, 2023 I don’t like personalised number plates but at least ones that are your initials or name or whatever are understandable. But I’m with @villaajax , the ones where it says like “Jag 1” is bizarre. We can see it’s a jag 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel like a clearing in the woods driving round with it on (regardless of the value of the car). What about M00NEY 1T? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or women with things like HE11 CAT or B1TCH, both of which I've seen on white luxury cars. I know I would hate any time in their company.

I don’t understand he hate of the half and half scarf tbh. I think they’re aimed at children who want a souvenir of the game they went to. Obviously you don’t buy one if you go every week. The Premiership think 1000% valid though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 The new 4 cans of beer where instead of the plastic holding them together they use superglue or something. I'm genuinely worried I might seriously injure myself prising them apart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simply open one can at a time and drink straight from that can with the other three cans (unopened or empty, just not opened and full) still attached. It looks especially cool if the can opening is facing towards the middle of the bunch. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
