OMG boomers suck at technology SO MUCH
One jackass replied all to an unsecured (company wide) distro list and I have 235 unread emails from other boomers all of whom are REPLYING ALL asking to be REMOVED FROM THE LIST
“Please stop replying all, you are spamming the whole company.”
“Why am I getting this email? I am in procurment please remove me from this list”
“Me to remove me from this distro”
“PLEASE STOP ASKING TO BE REMOVED FROM LIST. ITS A COMPANY WIDE LIST. YOU CANT BE REMOVED. JUST STOP REPLYING”
How do you uninstall outlook on other people’s machines….asking for a friend
PLEASE NO REPLY TO ALL
Could be worse – about 15 years ago the place I worked for had an unfortunate incident in which two peoples’ out-of-office autoreply somehow were both set to ‘reply all’. If I recall correctly, there were several million back-and-forth autoreplies before IT managed to shut down the mail server and kill the thread.

There are a bunch of excellent examples but my favorite is this one:
Emergency: Accidentally invited 25K people to my potluck
Every time I see things like this my gut reaction is “ugh well it sucks but I understand that it’s harder to learn new tech when you’re older” and then I remember that this kind of email process has existed for 30+years and these boomers were like, my age when they could’ve learned how it worked.
