Reply All? What is this Reply All?

There is someone in my office who is not so familiar with Outlook, or any Microsoft products, really.  I am trying to slowly integrate little lessons throughout the day. Let's just call this person Tiny Wonder.

So, Tiny Wonder is on AIM with a girl, and he is flirting with her. And Tiny Wonder is not good at typing, so he is typing/flirting away, all unaware that a new email has come in, and he has an alert saying he has a new email message. He somehow enters the proper sequence of buttons and opens the message. Again, he is not looking at the screen, as he cannot type. So he opens the message.

He then somehow clicks the proper sequence of buttons, and replies to all, "baby, we should totally hook up."

To everyone in our office.

So, in the next five minutes you hear many people clicking, gasping, and then clicking again, to, of course, forward to everyone we know. His boss calls in, and tells him, "Sorry, you are just not my type." He is confused, befuddled, and completely unaware of what he has done.

So, Ericka and I take a "cigarette break" (also known as I need to get out of here before I die laughing/kill someone) and we discuss whether it is better to NOT tell him what he has done, or to tell him, in order to avoid this in the future.

In the end, we tell him. Which is how I found out HOW he did that in the first place. See, we thought he was just flirting with his (married) male boss at first. But then we found out about the AIM, and it was comic gold people. COMIC GOLD.
