    Anyone see that email going around this week? - Some guy whose girlfriend had an abortion without telling him; he freaked and emailed everyone she knew at work dishing out scandal.

    Have the text but I'm reluctant to post it - Lots of names named.

    Nasty stuff. People get the weirdest notions using emails.

    There was some girl who was dumped by her b/f. She decided to get revenge by posting pics of him in her undies. Thing was it was a marketing ploy, as you had to visit some page with loads of pop-ups and banner ads! Good idea though!

    Don't post it.
    The last 7 threads has been deleted, that's why you haven't seen it here.

    Pretty bad name calling all right. If it's real then some people are very angry and disappointed now.

    Yeah figured as much. It's well dodge. Sure we can have a discussion about why idiots do such things anyway maybe.

    Good. Don't. It will only get deleted again anyway

    Angry people act stupidly. Human nature y'know.

    I don't think I've ever been that angry, and I don't ever think that my first thought would be 'OMG, I simply must e-mail everyone about this.'

    I agree, I tend to keep anything that does happen quiet, between the people involved. If I did get that angry I'm not sure I'd want AH mocking me!

    I have the inability to hurt people anyway (as in I'm a doormat) so I would feel so guilty e-mailing about some one's private life.

    Surprisingly, amongst the rubbish I get sent through e-mail, I haven't received this one yet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    Don' post it.
    I'm fairly sure that everyone has seen it at this stage, so there is no need for it to be posted.

    I wouldn't name names either. You are likely to be banned for that.

    OT, it was fairly messed up. I still am unsure whether it was real or not.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 682 ✭✭✭Bros123


    From what I have read elsewhere it does appear to be real.
    I do feel sorry for everyone named in it.
    Must be a barrel of laughs heading in to work for them all in the morning and the families of the people involved must be gutted.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 992 ✭✭✭Eglinton


    Did a little google recon and it appears to be valid.

    Man, what a way to ruin lives. People don't seem to realise that emails spread like there's no tomorrow.

    But I'm a female.....the FWD:'s I get all involve hugs and lists why I am the best friend ever in the whole world (yeah thats why you only keep in contact via a FWD!) and tell me I'll rot in hell if I don't send it back.

    I get the feeling that the composer knew what he was doing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭TerrorFirmer


    I've googled until I can google no more and I cannot find this email in question, I'm fascinated as to what it is.

    Yeah maybe, but you never know what mental anguish can do to a person. Can't reverse it now I'm afraid though.

    Me too and it's just not there! But a lot of people kill people who have abortions, or so it seems from the search results!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,183 ✭✭✭Peared


    Aw they are probably complete strangers and the email will mean nothing to me cos the whole point of is that you have to know the people involved and Ive got the gist of it here and its none of my business but I wanna seeee it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 992 ✭✭✭Eglinton


    The companies involved have taken down their websites. Says they're "under construction" - The email has ruined a lot of people for quite some time to come. Feel sorry for them.

    The power of the internet eh - never to be underestimated.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    It's out there..Heavy fecking stuff :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,620 ✭✭✭Blackjack


    anyone hint as to how it can be found?.

    I'm quite intrigued now.

    Damnit I feel so left out too. I've been curious to know what the hell this is all about since I heard about it here a week or two ago. Googling ain't helping!

    An edited version was on the Humanities forum until recently

    Can we leave this thread open? Just to warn anyone eager to see it that it is so shckingly boring it isnt worth trying to google. If you know the people involved it may mean something. Fact is that in truth it is about as interesting as listening to two 16 year old girls you dont know on the bus talking about who got stuck into who at Lisa birthday party and who drank themselves unconscious. Honestly, dont waste your time. Personally I want the 2 minutes of my life I spent reading it back to do something productive, like watch porn.

    Messed up? My arse it was. It is some guy who broke up with the girl and sent an email saying she thinks Sarah in work is fat and Rachel is a slut. Or something. Honestly, its shockingly boring bile only the type of cabbage who watches Big Brother would even be vaguely interested in.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,799 ✭✭✭Tha Gopher


    IT IS ****ING BORING!!!! I REPEAT: DO NOT BOTHER YOUR HOLE LOOKING FOR IT, YOU ARE MISSING NOTHING!

    If the whole abortion thing is true i feel sorry for the guy, but tbh its a pretty poor comeback.

    What about that one where some fella found out his best man was riding his missus before the wedding and he went ahead with this massive expensive wedding and at the grooms speech he told everyone to reach under the chair they were sitting on and they found an envelope with pictures taken by a P.I. of the two together. He then turned to the father in law and said your daughter is a whore and walked out. Don't know if its true but if it is the man is a legend.

    Not if she was cheating, although given he had knowledge of the cheating and went ahead with the wedding makes it a bit odd.

    I think that is a plot from footballers wives or home and away or something.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,958 ✭✭✭DJ_Spider


    I went to a wedding in the UK about 3yrs ago, and it was gas! The bride gave the best man a BJ in the toilets at the reception, then walked up to the local 24hr garage where she worked and fcuked the manager! Then she returned to the reception as if nothing had happened!

    The groom knew but was so locked he didn't care! AFAIK they are still together.

    I've had a read of this now and I have to its a load of bollox right? The email implies that the baby was 8 weeks (7 weeks and 3 days as of last Wednesday) and that it would have been a girl named Sophie. A Google search says gender can be most accurately determined between the 18th and 26th week of pregnancy. Even assuming that a good guess could be made prior to that how the hell do you do that it at least 10 weeks sooner?

    Ultrasounds between the 18th and 26th week of pregnancy are usually the most accurate when it comes to determining the sex of a fetus
    Even though studies are now reporting 100 percent accuracy in determining
    fetal gender between 11 to 16 weeks of gestation, in the average clinic situation, fetal gender identification is often not undertaken until at least 16 weeks, and is often not reliable until 20 to 24 weeks -- and this is when the baby cooperates fully!

    I'm not suggesting the email isn't a hoax, but if you wanted to you can tell the sex of a baby at 6 weeks now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,386 ✭✭✭EKRIUQ


    I emailed the address at the bottom of the email and got this back
    Hi, Thank you for your e-mail. I no longer work for Katxxxx. Please
    contact 01-6761xxxx.
    Many Thanks,

    That's via a DNA test and I don't even think it's available in Ireland. Not many people even have scans at 6 or 7 weeks, only if they have had some problems.

    When I saw the email, them knowing the sex of the baby at 7 weeks was the first thing that jumped out at me.

    Yeah its true. It happened like 2-3 years ago though. He got the wedding annulled the same day so there wasn't a messy divorce. David Letterman was talking about it at the time and the guy was from Florida from what I remember. What a legend!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    Whats worse is that the girls CV (with phone number, home address, email and photo) were also up on a link in the email that was doing the rounds.
    I wonder what the atmosphere is like in that office now...

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,367 ✭✭✭✭watna


    I've read it. I actually clicked in to a thread here just before it was deleted a few days ago, but it was emailed to me this morning as well. It''s crazy! I think the guy is loopers. He mentions in it that he's already taken pills so he doesn't care. Attention seeking or what?

    It seems quite likely it's true to me.

    in fairness what kind of idiot would email someones work email saying bad stuff about the people they work with.

    Work emails are bad news anyways! They can be seen and stuff - well ours can.

    if she was going to do it, she should have used a personal email address!

    Google isnt getting me anywhere. Nuts.

    Yeah, I can guess where this is going though.

    Did you actually read the email or just an article on it?????
    ammm no it isnt just her decision.
    your missing the whole point...she named the child, she told him she was gonna have it then went behind his back and killed his unborn child(his view).
    the fact that she named it made it more real.


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,147 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    It was a load of crappy workplace gossip being let out. Basically she got preggers, told him. They agonized, she aborted. He went mental, according to the email took an od and then sent an email around work detailing all the juicy office tidbits etc that he had gotten from her. Crap like he did some of her work and that she hated X, Y, and Z.

    Blown out of proportion in my opinion. Would certainly make things a bit awkward the following monday, but nothing to write home about.


  • Posts: 31,118 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Perhaps someone could just post a "sanitized" version, no names, numbers, locations etc.

    check with a mod first!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters


    I have the whole thing here, a censored version and also the full one with names somewhere...

    Also, its just plain weird. Bit our of porportion. Guy was a bit snappy by proclaiming it all. But as have been said, would hate to be in the office on the monday morning. Id say he got his P45 soon after.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,321 ✭✭✭prendy

    wasnt the whole thing meant as a resignation letter of sorts??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,761 ✭✭✭✭Winters

    No nice leaving party for that guy.

    it's the second blog on the search results


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,323 ✭✭✭Hitchhiker's Guide to...


    just read it there. so bitchy. how can a company go on after that?!

    worth bearing in mind that it's just his view on the matter.
