Okay, I know it's a good idea, but really, how many people have to send me that ICE (in case of emergency) email about putting contact numbers in my phone? I received it a few times yesterday, and now a few times today grrrr. Alright, I do realise that it is a worthwhile thing and not as annoying as getting the "if you don't forward this to at least 50 billion people in the next two seconds you're going to die" forwards ten times over, but still. I've had it sent to me, everybody, alright? And also, for your information, I've had "mum" and "dad" saved in my mobile under those names ever since I've had my first phone.. and if they aren't my next of kin, I don't know who are, so is there really point in repeating their numbers under "ICE" too?
Other annoying thing that I know my dad dislikes, and it's annoying for privacy too (although it's handy when you want to find out someone's email address, that's the precise reason that it's annoying) is when someone sends an email and lists 1000000001 people under "To:" so everyone can see everyone's email address. (Before the pedants strike, I know you can't put that many under "To:"; what's more, few people know 1000000001 people.) I suppose it's worse when it's a group email to all people who have a certain account, for example, or applied for the same job and not just people everyone knows anyway.
