Here's the latest "duh of the day"
Yes, we are all busy.
I know that.
But if you are so busy, please do not respond to an email until you DO have time to read it.
Or don't respond at all.
I can't say this is the dumbest email exchange I've ever had, because there have been so many like this before, it's just pathetic.
I wanted to cast a vote for vegetarian school lunches at Change.org
Not that I'll be popping out a kid anytime soon, or at all, but I talk to a lot of parents and more and more children are making the choice to be vegetarians. Looking back, I still want to puke when I think of being forced to drink milk in school. So if I can vote for a better option for kids, so be it.
However, when I got to the site, I tried to press the "Vote" button and it wasn't working.
I sent an email to Change.org:
This set up you have isn't the greatest. I wanted to vote for the vegetarian lunches, there's a button that says "vote" and it doesn't take me anywhere, I just see a bunch of comments, nothing I don't know or haven't heard before and really don't care to read.
How do I vote "yes"?
This is the response I got:
There is a big blue VOTE NOW button to the left of the idea title. You just have to click on that.
DUH!!!!!!!!!!! Isn't that what I just wrote to you?
How do you respond to such idiocy? I just told them to take me off their email list, I don't have time for this, I do enough.
An answer that would have satisfied me would be something like, "I'll check into the software. Or maybe it's your software, so I'll add your name to the list if you'd like. "
There are solutions to everything. But people are so self-absorbed, all they care about is how busy they are and the EASY WAY OUT.
That said, I don't care to sign anything for any cause unless it's about those who can't defend themselves ANIMALS. Let parents worry about their own kids and their own lunches. You don't need my vote to get them a healthy lunch.
Unless the email is about someone killing wolves or deer, or sending someone to the electric chair for setting kittens on fire COUNT ME OUT!
