April 07, 2008 | The Return of the Spam
Remember last year when I unintentionally spammed everyone in my address book? Haha, wasn't that fun? It was so much fun that I DID IT AGAIN. Because, sometimes, I am dumb.
Reunion.com. I hate you. And honestly, I should have known better. But I went ahead and put in my e-mail address, and my password, and without even ASKING ME, it just went ahead and spammed EVERYONE. No pause to ask, "Would you like to send e-mails to these people in your address book?" Just instantaneous spam. When I realized what happened, I immediately deleted my reunion.com account. Of course, by that time (a mere TWO MINUTES) the damage had already been done.
So if you receive an e-mail from me saying I looked for you on reunion.com, please ignore it. I sincerely apologize, and I SWEAR I'm going to do my best to not let this happen again.
And now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to find my dunce cap and go sit in a corner for a while.
What? Nobody was searching for me? Why would Reunion.com lie to me like that? Why?!
All this is a bit distressing.
hee. I just deleted it and moved on. I figured it was something like you described. These stupid sites are ridiculous in their attempts at snagging emails. ick.
Social faux pas can be quite funny. Your story made me chuckle =).
Scoot on over because I may need to join you in that same corner. It was unclear to me whether or not an email actually went out. I got the message saying they emailed everyone but then I also had an option to "skip this step". Um, yeah. Apparently I need a really BIG dunce hat because I'm not even sure if I screwed up or not. Sheesh!
I did that last year with Reunion.com, too. I was soooo angry and embarrassed in turns.
We should really be sending them lots of strongly-worded emails...
hmmm, I can't decide if I'm insulted that I didn't get one...
