When, in my capacity as IT Manager, I send out an email to my user community warning people of a phishing email that had just been sent out to everyone and remind them never to send their account information or passwords to anyone over email for any reason, the SOMEWHAT LESS THAN BRILLIANT response to said warning would be to send ME your account name and password in reply.

To have the Stupid User of the Year award locked up already by March... damn.

If I wasn't working from home, I may have felt it necessary to track down said user and yell at them to their face. The fact that such brief but visceral satisfaction was only a ten-minute car drive away did NOT go unregarded. As it was, I must say I never, ever, in my LIFE thought I would regret not being able to use the "blink" tag in an email.

Could have been worse, they could have sent it "Reply to All"... ;P

Ah, but I have mastered the fine and rare art of BCC for exactly that reason...

So it's not like they didn't try, they were just thwarted. ;)

Hard to actually know, but it's entirely possible.

I suppose it's entirely possible that some other user will out-stupid her in the next nearly 10 months, but I really just don't want to think about that...
