I used to work for a very large company that used Skype messaging. There were several thousand people in offices across the world on it. One day some poor bastard accidentally blasts a group message out to everyone in the company. That set off the moron chain reaction of people sending "what is this?", "Why am I getting this?", "I don't think this is for me", etc. That was followed by dozens of well meaning dumbasses telling everyone to stop replying to it. The whole thing went on for a few hours pinging everyone's computer.


Basically the same thing happened where I worked except it was email and somehow everyone in a company of 100k+ employees in time zones around the world got looped in. Reply to all hell of people replying to say to stop replying to all went on for several hours before most of us created Outlook filters to delete the messages and stop notifications.

I worked for an international company of 50-60k people, and these would happen once a month. Everyone would get sick of the reply all torture and just start posting links to random shite, shitposting, etc. was usually entertaining for a couple hours
