I knew it was my time at that job..
I worked for a credit card company. I found the section of the network which held emails from people saying "Remove me from your mailing list"..

So as a joke i decided to "pretend" to reply to one and send it internally to a friend...

It read

"Dear Mr.xxxx

Im sorry but we feel we must needlessly spam our clients or i fear our servers will freeze up.

Please accept 10 copies of our newsletters with our compliments.

Cheers

xxxx

I sent it...then realised...i had hit reply...not forward.

Cold dread spreads across body...try to recall, yahoo account...cant recall...

Went home and shit myself all night. Next day admitted all to the director. He was good about it but said it wouldnt end well.

Manager came in VERY pissed off...had disciplinary the next day.

"These are the sections of the company handbook you violeted"

I looked to see 2 pages of purple highlighter.

Yup that was me done.

Worst part was i had worked there ages and even after the managers apologetic "I dont want to fire you" spiel he still had me escorted off the premisis....

Wanker.

P.s. the guy actually got the email and thought it was funny
