I can haz lamps?

One of the fun things about misdialing is not knowing if it's spam or not. In this case it's unlikely to be spam, since there's no request for money or a link. But you never know.

Merrill-y down the stream

I was getting someone's trade confirmations and account updates for about a year from Merrill Lynch. First time I told them about it was October of 07. I finally got someone's attention in April of 08:

Which I figured would be ignored as well. However, I got an even better response:

Again, I have to admit that after this, I haven't received any more trade confirmations from ML.

Anthro Club

This is one of my longest term and strangest misdials. Anthro Club from some random college I've never even visited. I received emails from them for 2 years. I should admit that this one isn't entirely the norm. I requested them to remove me at least a half dozen times (not that it ever accomplished anything). You can tell that this was an early one from my naivety in even asking.



Four months later, I received the real removal offer:



Which has, honestly, led to me not getting any more emails from them. I almost miss them.

Title post

Apparently I'm invited to a 42 year high school reunion party. I'm tempted to go. Think they would notice?

The Why

Mis-directed emails are a strange thing. Even stranger are the people who refuse to correct their mistake. Stranger still are the people who sign their own email address incorrectly. I've been deleting these emails, and decided that I should instead share the entertainment value of the emails. Some aren't that funny. In fact, none of them may be funny to you.

At least take heart in the fact that I find it funny to share them. Look at it as a cross-section of human experience; accidentally.
