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?

I once sent an email to eg [email protected] instead of johnsmith46 with photos of a very drunken night out. I always wonder what the other John made of them...

I have also been the recipient of an email chain intended for someone with my name plus an extra letter. I responded to let them know it was mis-sent but kept getting the chain, it was about cow slaughtering/beef and I did eventually send a slightly snottier email letting them know I was vegetarian, as well as not Ms Extra Letter. They stopped after that.

This is weird Grin I've popped it on my watch list....

gwenniebee · 19/03/2013 22:27

I want them to reply! (And am thus marking my place.)

Wolfiefan · 19/03/2013 22:31

I want to see if this ends with a wedding or Tiggy getting a restraining order!

TheEasterQODdy · 19/03/2013 22:31

Fun!

SquinkieBunnies · 20/03/2013 04:19

LOL that is so funny they have you on the email list somehow.
I've started getting loads of joke emails from a guy I had to email over a boat we sold, how the hell do I block him? he's not even in my address book.
Can't wait to hear what Mitch and Denise have to say. I think bodies in the lake was a good idea.

Op, it's not a gmail account is it?

I only ask because when I used them I used to get emails sent to firstword_secondword when my email address was firstword.secondword - including invitations to a job interview! I stopped using gmail as a result.

They haven't replied because they are having extremely hot sex and will be for the rest of the week.

CookieLady · 20/03/2013 07:47

Any response yet? Your emails to them made me chuckle. Smile

Rhienne · 20/03/2013 07:54

NewAtThis: I've had both "here's the next step in your employment, fill in this form immediately if you're still interested in working for us", and "here are the login details for your new swiss bank account" - and neither of them were spam! I emailed back and said they had the wrong address and got very thankful, apologetic replies. :o

ScumbagCollegeDropout · 20/03/2013 08:20

Arf!

Brilliant.

FairyJen · 20/03/2013 08:37

Wow! I do wanna know how they respond!!! Grin

Any replies yet?

MaryZeZJezuzIzntZombiedYet · 20/03/2013 08:44

I wonder do any of them have a sense of humour?

It would be funny if they actually replied. But sadly they will probably delete you and we will never know.

Hassled · 20/03/2013 08:49

My DS1 has done something similar - if he is [email protected], somewhere in a college in the States is a [email protected]. So DS1 gets a lot of his mail. For reasons I can't remember DS1 has decided the other john.smith is a twat, which apparently justifies his long-running interference in john.smith's social life. DS1 accepts and rejects invitations, points out grammatical errors in emails and became embroiled in some argument about where they should hold a study session. I officially Don't Approve, but I can sort of understand the compulsion to meddle.

TiggyD · 20/03/2013 09:36

No response. I guess it was either spam (a funny kind as there was no links to click anywhere) or they've decide to ignore me.

I was included in mails sent from a Christian group recently, being asked to pray for people. I just sent them a polite email asking to be taken off their list.

But if Mitch and Denise are mother and son (from the photo they could be), they could be feeling a tad embarrassed after the last email Tiggy sent that mentioned repressed sexual tension.....Grin

FruOla · 20/03/2013 10:10

Tiggs, maybe they followed your first piece of advice and they're already under arrest for dumping bodies in the lake? Grin

Years ago I shared a computer with my boss and we only had one generic company email address. He got onto some email chat group with a load of old school friends (all male). One of his responses was apologising for being late to reply but he "had to wait until my secretary went out for lunch". One of his mates, who obviously hadn't made the connection that boss's secretary also read all the emails too, sent a smutty reply about boss/secretary sexual activity Hmm. I wish, now, that I'd replied saying something like "you twunt, I read that".
