At 5pm somebody once added an email that had an auto responder to a distribution list that was used in a lot of places. As I'm eating my dinner my phone is getting blown up because everything is suddenly getting spammed with delivery failures because the auto responder was getting blocked from blasting everybody on the distribution list. I was like, I'm sorry you've fabricated an urgent situation after hours but I'm gonna eat my chicken now.
