Does anybody know who drafted the format for the RIDICULOUSLY STUPID order-dispatch emails for Amazon India? Look at this email. It tells me: - Who ordered it - Breakdown of costs (!) - Payment modes and other useless stuff BUT NOT WHAT THE ITEM ITSELF IS?! What?! #DumbPatterns

Counterpoint: If you are in an accident, a bystander can search for "wife" or "son" or "daughter" on your phone and contact them immediately. Counter-counterpoint: If your phone gets stolen and the attacker bypasses your lockscreen... Hmm. Tough decision.

HEY Pepperfry.com!! What is the use of giving us an unsubscribe link in your emailers if you aren't going to ACTUALLY unsubscribe me when I click it? Get it right, FFS... (PS: This is how your domain gets marked as #spam and your #CTR and open rates become trash, BTW.)

Hey, anybody know someone from @google or GoogleIndia? I have a small issue with adding a member to my paid plan and there seems to be no solution in their support articles. I've raised a support request but you know how THAT goes... 🤷‍♂️

Thinking of building an aggregator that matches influencers to customers for advocacy on social media. Wronged by a #BigCorp but you don't have enough reach to shame them on social media? We'll find you the right influencer with the right audience for your budget! 😎

The replies to this post are horrifying to read. 🤦‍♂️ I have always been against any kind of gatekeeping but if there ever is an entrance exam for people who want to be parents in India, I would offer little to no opposition to it... 🫠
