I got an e-mail from a friend the other day. The subject suggested pictures but when I opened it, all I found was his sig-line. For those of you who don't know, a "sig" or signature line is a line of text that you set to appear at the end of all your e-mails. I know this, since I have been known to use such a feature from time to time.
This particular sig line contained the name of my friend and a plug for his website (pretty standard really)
Because there was no body to this e-mail, I stared at the screen for a moment before I decided that the pictures were on the website in the signature... I then spent quite a bit of time perusing his site and forums carefully looking for the pictures he had promised in the e-mail. No such luck. I checked back throughout the day since I thought that he had possibly meant to put the pics up bad hadn't actually gotten around to it at the moment he sent me the e-mail...
Shit does after all happen.
Later that day (much later) while I was online searching for something fodder for a new blah-g entry, this friend IM'd me asking how I'd liked the pictures he'd sent.
I was just about to respond : NO I DIDN'T GET YOUR FRIGGIN PICTURES
But at that same moment, it slowly occurred to me that for nearly 24 hours, I had failed to even consider that there was an attachment to the email... despite the little icon in the inbox indicating that this was indeed the case.
Long story short (too late), if there is something you do not want me to see (ie nude pics of the Triumph the Insult Dog) simply send them to me attached in an e-mail. I'll never figure it out.
