Nutz Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 This is for those of you with a crazy ex you just don't want to deal with anymore. My friend from work created this after getting fed up with his nutjob ex that just won't quit. In Gmail (or your mail client of choice) create a filter for anyone you want to ignore and forward the emails from the undesirable person to crazy.ex.filter@link removed and check the "delete" box. Poof! No more annoying emails from your ex. The message they will receive is as follows: The account you emailed has activated Gmail's advanced new Crazy-Ex Email Filtering Application. Messages from your account will no longer appear in their inbox. This is their way of attempting to cut off any and all communications with you in a pleasant, non-confrontational manner. They hope you have a nice day and say: "Don't leave mad, just leave." I love the signature it adds as well: New Crazy-Ex Email Filter: making sure you always get the last word in. Link to comment
waveseer Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 That's cute, but practically speaking it's worthless. If I were a crazy ex (possible prior experience in this area), I would continue to email to see if I got the automated response. It's an illusion of power for the person who sets it, the real power comes with being able to deal with the crazy ex emails oneself. Link to comment
Nutz Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 Then they'd be banging their head against the wall. Link to comment
waveseer Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 It's therapy, keep pouring your feelings out until they're gone. Link to comment
franfran Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 lol...Not gonna lie, that is kind of funny. If my ex-ex did this to me (I dumped him and contacted him a lot) I would be PISSED if I got that automated response every time... how unfulfilling that would be haha. Link to comment
Nutz Posted December 23, 2008 Author Share Posted December 23, 2008 This was just added to the auto response: "Please know that if you continue to send email, the Crazy-Ex Email Filter will only respond to you every 4 days. It's pretty busy and doesn't have much time for you either." Link to comment
NewPhillyGuy Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 LOL. I just might do it. Link to comment
Nutz Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Spread the word. It's already starting to pick up steam. link removed Link to comment
