Can you top this intRAoffice email attachment?

Our Administrative Assistant's grandmother unfortunately passed away and everyone chipped in and purchased flowers and a card (normal stuff)

So, the next day the entire office (some 100+ people) get a thank you letter and an email attachment which was a picture OF HER DEAD GRANDMOTHER IN THE COFFIN.

What.. the.. fuck...

Best I've ever been able to figure out photos of the deceased are a cultural thing, very big thing for some people and completely shocking to others.

Not my thing, and I can't say I've ever heard of anyone sending a copy in an interoffice email, but I have known people who showed the photos afterwards.

Not quite an attachment, but last year, a guy in our office had a baby (well, his wife did) and our AA sent out an announcement email and included a link to a picture of the kid online. But somehow, she managed to accidentally type within the link which changed the destination. So beneath a large headline of "Congratulations Steve on your daughter!" was a link to a picture of...a smokin hot chick completely naked and spread, showing her goods. The RECALL email came out about 10 seconds later, but those who had opened it already were able to keep checking it out.

Here's my favorite e-mail I've ever received at my office:

Does anyone (you people downstairs) have the long screwdriver that will fit in the vent hole to open my vent? I'm hot because my vent is not open and the only way I can open it is if I have that screwdriver. Let me know.

my wife wanted to check the weather and roads before leaving work one night, so she tried to go to the local TV stations website...needless to say, WFMZ-69's website is NOT "Channel69.com"

About eight years ago I was trying to go to the Johnson County, Kansas government home page once at work at www.jocoks.com. Left out the second O. That is a critical letter. Got the same result and was scared to death I was going to lose my Internet privileges.

Many years ago the CEO of a small start-up I was working for accidentally forwarded some racy pics he'd received to the entire office-wide email distribution list.....and the 'racy pics' actually turned out to be the Kournikova virus.

Shamed him in front of every employee he had, brought productivity to a screeching and sudden halt AND crippled the entire network. Well played.

He also stuttered, and had a facial tic, which caused him to blink whenever he got nervous....and he got nervous whenever he tried to pitch our crappy first-generation 'web services' platform that carried an astounding six-figure price tag. So, it may come as little surprise that very few people actually chose to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to the small, sweaty, stuttering man that was spasticly blinking through his entire sales pitch.

....oh those sweet, sweet days of the late nineties when practically any young, budding genius could pick low-hanging venture capital off their choice of nearby trees, and race their dreams full-steam, straight into a wall.
