I am an email snob

susandennisI really am. 10 years ago when a woman used her husband's email address it was sad. Today it is just stupid. Twice in the past week, I have gotten emails from such women and I'm kind of surprised how much it pisses me off.
The first one was from someone I really do know. She sent me an email (from her own email address, however) asking me questions I had answered in email the week before. She is not the sharpest knife in the drawer so I tried to be kind (a real stretch for me). "You might have a problem with your email since I sent you two notes last week answering those very questions." She responded, "Oh, well, I've been letting Craig check my email lately because I've just been too busy looking for a new job."
Where to start with the list of problems that conjures??????
The second is from a woman I do not know. The email address she uses indicates that it belongs to a man with the first name of David who lives in the UK. She signs her email Margaret. She sends me pictures for jigsaw puzzles. The pictures are not very good but that does not stop her from inundating me. When she first started sending me emails, I made a joke about calling her 'david'. She very patiently explained that David was her husband and the email was his 'because I don't know about computers at all'. Then why in the FUCK are you bothering me with your stupid giant sized ill conceived and poorly executed pictures????!!!!
My sister does it but I have so many issues with her that using her husband's email address just gets lost in the mix.
In 2005, there is no reason in the world why anyone and everyone cannot have their own email address.
