This is the third, and (for now) final installment of my Fun With Real E-Mail series. I'm running out of things to say to these people...
Once again, these e-mails are real and unedited.

I'm sorry, the weasel is in Nevada. He left last Tuesday so he could marry that coyote he's been seeing for the last three months. Apparently her father's not to happy about it, not that I blame him. How would you feel if your only daughter married a weasel? If you want to get in touch with him, his e-mail is TedtheWeasel01.at.yahoo.com.

No fun with email in the this office, NO SIR. We are monitored by the IT department, and they keep tabs on everything we do. 1 step shy of keyloggers and that's only because they are illegal in our line of work.
We take our email VERY seriously and offenders are TERMINATED.
The cuntdrip manager who failed her piss test (and wasn't canned???) fired the pregnant lady for using her cellphone during office hours.
WTF.
I swear on my life I will never accept a job from a company based in Ohio ever again.

you can't possibly make more than $35k a year. you sound like some total dipshit doing work that any asshole with a bullshit degree out of some state university could have gotten. It's funny that you think you're so unique and cool because of the way you make lame ass jokes in your email correspondences.
You're not unique, you're not cool. You're just a fucking dork with a shitty job.
---------
Actually I'm working towards that degree right now because I spent the last five years in the Navy. I also never claimed to be cool or unique. Why are you so pissed off and hostile?
Shitty job? I work at a Fortune 500 company an I get paid 13 bucks an hour (along with with full benefits) AS I'M GOING TO SCHOOL full time.
Not only that, but I'm studying for the Series 7 test, which will allow me to eventually become a broker (if I so choose). I'm thinking that for someone without a degree, I have a pretty damned good thing going. My resume when I graduate college will include the military (with secret clearance) and a Fortune 500 company. Not too shabby.
In conclusion, take your lame insults and condescending attitude and go elsewhere. You're not unique, you're not cool. You're just a fucking dork who can't write for shit (as evidenced by your overall -.22 rating) and chooses to lash out at complete strangers on your computer for no real reason.
