One of my co-workers sends me emails every day with the most inane and asinine questions! They are so random and so not within my ability to answer. Here are some examples:
Why do our co-workers want laptops? Why don't they want Blackberry's instead?
When is The Boss's deadline for this report? (Reply to email which contains the time and date of the deadline TWICE.)
Why won't upper management approve blah blah blah?
Why did So-And-So sell some stock last week?
Has our CEO ever been the CEO of a company before?
Does this form replace this other form? (New form was for requesting contracts, old form was for setting up new suppliers - completely not the same thing.)
Why do our co-workers want laptops?
Why did I get this report? Why is it in Word and not Excel?
Why did The Boss write someone else's name on a sample that I submitted?
Why don't our co-workers want Blackberry's?
Agggghhhhh! At first I tried answering him, "You know, Mark the Gorilla (not his real name), I have no way of knowing why someone else decided to do something that is completely their own business. Would you like their direct number?"
Then I started deleting them without replying.
Now I forward them to Bestest Friend/Co-Worker for her amusement. Because it is so frequent, they've turned into Today's Stupid Question from Mark the Gorilla (not his real name).
