4. Gaa... If it's not a spreadsheet that someone went down to the 65,536th row at Col IV before saving
then it's a SCREEN-GRAB embedded directly into the email. Grrrr.

(I set up a rule to send your crap right to my deleted folder. :P)

3. I worked in a company where everyone had access to a file sharing system
so they could simply drag and drop files and everyone could access them from a single point, but these useless piece of shit crusty salesmen fuckbags would STILL simply try use the staff@imafuckingmoronpieceofshitandihavenobusinessspendingtimeinfrontofacomputer.breakmyfingersbeforeidoanymore.damage.com email address and send everyone 100 meg attachments.

And they'd wonder why I wanted to garrote them.

5. We have so many file sharing mechanisms, I cannot believe that people still do this to me.
:grr:

7. My sister in law does this...
I am *this close* to sending her a virus because I've asked her to cut it out.

8. You could send her a pretend virus.
Something that would pop-up every time she adds an attachment saying "warning, emailing this attachment will cause system failure." That would be nifty.

9. I feel your pain
I get gigantic attachments from artists, photographers, etc. with requests for PSAs. We're a radio station, people, sending me attachments that eat up all the available space in my mailbox does not make me feel kindly about publicizing your event. :grr:

10. Set up a rule that sends a reply to anyone with an attachment of > 1 MB
that says... "Sorry bozo, you lose. Keep your day job."

11. God I hate that. Until recently, our campus mailboxes were only 50 megs,
but people would send out these 11-12 meg PDF flyers for events that could just as well have been announced as a text e-mail. Really grinded my gears, that did...
