I work for the government and we have people all over the country. I hate emails that go to all of us. Senior Management sends a weekly feel good message that I tolerate but otherwise, I can't handle spam.

A dude in Toronto sent a message to the entire group that due to a subway issue, he would be unable to come in. He sent this to all of us! From St. John's to Victoria, from the most junior student to the DM! And his boss replied all! As did several people after....omfg.

Reply all telling them about the stinker someone left in the bathroom, asking who's responsible. Don't specify which bathroom, preferably.

This happens monthly at my job.
Dozens of responses saying, "I don't think I should be on this list, please remove me."
It is SO difficult not to add my name and commentary to this list, but I refuse to attach my name to anything that might get me unwanted attention in the future.

@Dei - I had a cousin's spawn notice something unusual that I immediately wondered if you could verify.

He was traveling up into the mountains when a bag of chips that he had in back suddenly popped open as they reached a certain point. As I have limited experience traveling in the Rockies, is this sort of thing common?

DA beat me to it, it's an air pressure thing. Since there is less pressure being exerted on the outside of the bag, the air inside the sealed bag exerts it's higher pressure until they are at equilibrium again. Another fun example of this is when your shampoo bottles explode all over your luggage after air travel.

Back when I used to shave with foam, the same would happen to me.
Now I use shaving soap and a mug, and I never have to fish a foamed up can out of a ziploc again.

You can see the opposite sort of thing happen when people tie polyfoam cups to the outside of the deep-sea rigs prior to descent, and then bring them back up again.

The trip down to 1500m brings the exterior pressure up to 150x what it would be in air on the surface, crushing out all the embedded pockets of gas and leaving you with what you see in the second picture.
