Fred and Greg's thread (3 Viewers)

I was the IT manager for a small rural hospital that was part of a larger health network with more than 100k employees.  Someone in corporate sent an email to "everyone" about an update to some software that less than .1% of the employees used.  30 Seconds later there was one reply all saying, "I don't use this software.  Please take me off the list."  I said out loud, "Ooooh noooo."

I giggled my ### off for the next 15 minutes while hundreds of similar "take me off the list" replies came in, and hundreds more "Don't reply all!" messages came in.  Ironic.  I read every one before corporate had to shut down the email system and clear all the messages waiting in the queue.

Not a "reply all" situation (although I've seen plenty of those) but many years ago, a co-worker and his wife (also worked there) both set up auto-reply "out of office" messages before leaving on vacation.  One of them decided to test it by sending a note to the other, which triggered an auto-reply, which triggered an auto-reply, which triggered an auto-reply, which triggered an auto-reply...

Eventually IT also had to shut down the e-mail system temporarily.  Since then, the software has been updated so it doesn't auto-reply to an auto-reply, but we had a good laugh that day.
