Would I be unreasonable to be very very unreasonable?

There is a discussion going on between real estate people in America somewhere and they keep sending me copies of their emails. I do not know them. It seems to be over a lake.
eg"...former attorney recommended we get rid of the association owned boats because of liability concerns..."

I suggested "I reckon you could chuck a few dead bodies into the lake and when they float to the edge and get discovered by a passing nun and/or a girl scout, nobody will want to go near the lake again meaning you could buy it at an extra cheap rate." Nobody responded.

Things have got a bit shirty between Mitch and Denise, the people exchanging emails and copying me in.
[Mitch to Denise]: "With all due respect , I don't need any advice from you as to who I need to listen to."

AIBU in sending an email to both of them saying that I'm sensing some pent up sexual tension between the both of them, and maybe they should get together and make out to get it out their system?

Not even remotely U.

You need to do it. These are clearly star-crossed lovers who need guidance from none other than you. Fulfill your destiny.

Poppet48 · 19/03/2013 19:44

Be careful how you phrase it. Looks like they're married.

PS - and it would be a kindness to get in touch with them and say one or both of their emails has been hacked.

cozietoesie · 19/03/2013 19:52

Or looking at the photos more carefully - maybe even mother and son?

numbum · 19/03/2013 19:53

Grin at cozietoesie Googling Mitch and Denise!

They both seem to come from the Tampa area. I've sent the mail to Mitch and Denise. And the other 5 people cc'ed on the mails. Will let you know what happens.

That is hysterical!

Please can we see?

cozietoesie · 19/03/2013 20:05

Well done, Tiggy. Best not to take chances with these things.

TiggyD · 19/03/2013 20:05

I sent:
"Dear all,

I don't know any of you and I don't know why you keep mailing me stuff. I assume you got somebodies email mixed up with mine. I'd just like to say to Denise and Mitch: I'm sensing a great deal of repressed sexual tension in your emails. I think it would be good for you if you got together one evening and made out with each other. Hope that helps.

Feel free to delete my address from your address books.

'Tiggy', from Great Britain. Nowhere near Tampa.

Aaaaahahaha!! I already love this thread!

cozietoesie · 19/03/2013 20:06

Oh my. I only hope you never have your own email hacked.

WhataMistakeaToMakea · 19/03/2013 20:06

YANBU! Ha, keep us posted on the response!

IneedAgoldenNickname · 19/03/2013 20:10

Haha! Hope they reply!

fryingpantoface · 19/03/2013 20:11

Ha ha ha ha

waltermittymissus · 19/03/2013 20:14

Oh please Internet Gods, let them respond!!!

INeedThatForkOff · 19/03/2013 20:14

I'm confused - did you actually send the thing about bodies in the lake, and if so was there any response?

TiggyD · 19/03/2013 20:16

No response to the suggestion about the bodies. That's what made me think it was spam.

Ooo. So tempting! I get quite a lot of wrongly addressed emails, my name not being terribly uncommon, and I got "the original" on gmail.

Have until now ignored or asked them to get the right email. Maybe I should start joining the conversation! :o

HippiTEEHoppoTEE · 19/03/2013 20:41

I am shamelessly marking place...

Jux · 19/03/2013 20:51

Goody goody.

You should now send a follow up apologising for mistaking them for possible lovers when they are so clearly mother and son.....

Trills · 19/03/2013 20:57

Yes, being very very unreasonable is unreasonable.

HTH

:)

Trills · 19/03/2013 20:58

But I think you are wrong to think that your responses were unreasonable.
