3 - "Well I copied you on that email four months ago. [the issue] was mentioned among the list of issues in bullet point number 38. What do you mean you weren't aware of it?" I get 200+ emails everyday. Copying me as the 102nd recipient does not make me aware of the issue! You sit across the hall from me - come talk to me or at least pick up the freaking phone!!

LOL that reminds me of this one time at work... someone mailed something out to a global type of list-serve but it was addressed to one person. And it wasn't a moderated or access-only list for posting, so what happened? All these employees start hitting REPLY ALL saying "Please remove me from this list, I don't think I was the intended recipient" and no one would have the smarts to realize that it was a mistake and just move on... nope, more and more REPLY ALLs. Here they are complaining of an inconvenience and in their attempt they're annoying everyone all over again... just reply to the sender!!!
Then you'll get someone annoyed with all the emails attempting email-flood control by - wait for it - hitting REPLY ALL and saying "guys this was an accident, stop using REPLY ALL"
Work literally stops when that happens (happened twice in the past 2 years) for a good 20-30 mins cos your inbox gets flooded, and you can hear people groaning or laughing and discussing it.
