I thought I'd share

I was looking online how to fold a paper napkin in a fancy way (if thats even possible) and I came across this site: www.papernapkin.net

its mean, but funny... basically, if someone hits on you, you can give them "your" email, for example:
anyname@papernapkin.net

so I could do: nici@papernapkin.net

what happens is, that once this person emails you- they recieve an email that goes something like this: (and every month they change it around)

This is the message that is currently sent out to rejected people (written by solarrhino). If you'd like to help make it better, you can.

Subject: Nice to hear from you

Ha ha, just kidding. Actually, this is a rejection letter. The person who gave you this email address does not want to have anything to do with you.

This is probably bad news, and many people cope with bad news in phases: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. Let us help you through these:

"It must be a mistake": Nope. You got an address in the form anyname@papernapkin.net or anyname@paamail.com, right? Well, all we here at papernapkin.net do is send rejection notices. If you got this email address, it wasn't an accident. No, you've definitely been rejected.

"Why is this happening to me?": Well, there are two main points. First, the person you wrote to obviously had this email address ready to give you, so they probably get hit on a lot. Second, for whatever reason, that person would rather let you get this rejection letter than reject you in person. So who should you be mad at: all the other creeps who have hit on this person before you, ruining your chances; or you yourself for being too intense or scary to be let down gently? Either way, you really shouldn't be "angry" at anyone - what good does that do?

"I promise I'll do better next time": Fine, great, but just not with this same person, okay? The message being sent here is pretty clear. Besides, it may not even be your "fault" - as we pointed out above, this person was hit on enough to memorize anyname@papernapkin.net long before you came along. Maybe you're just out of your league here. Maybe this person has built up some walls that are just too thick to breach. Either way, don't try again. If you do, you're just going to seem like a stalker... or worse! Go ahead and clean up your act if you think you should - just be sure to find a different audience to try it out on.

"I don't care anymore": Aw, we can't leave it like that! Buck up, little nipper! It isn't all bad! At least you were rejected in the privacy of your own email account; you had no chance to do or say anything that you would later regret; and you've saved the time and effort of pursuing a no-chance relationship.

Besides, you didn't just get rejected - you've learned about a great new tool: papernapkin.net. After all, this is nothing personal to us. We have no beef with you, and we'd be just as pleased to serve your rejection needs as we are to serve anybody else. So if you ever need to reject somebody, be sure to tell them to write to you at anyname@papernapkin.net.

How's that? All better now? Good. And good luck to you. Maybe next time you will get a real email address!

Sincerely,
