Nowadays, almost everyone has social software, and there may be hundreds or thousands of contacts lying in the chat list.
However, among so many people, I am afraid that only a small part of the people we really want to add, and most of the remaining ones have to be added, and we can't delete them if we want to......
Although we don't have the freedom to delete at will, at least, we can make a fuss about the comments, such as this:
Li XX (the favorite gossip next door)
Wang XX (no A money at the last dinner)
Liu XX (electrician master, a little fat)
......
(Schematic diagram)
Anyway, these remarks can't be shown to the parties, and they will die immediately after reading them.
Notes, "File Transfer Assistant" and Web browsing records can be called the "three major deaths" of modern people......
And recently, Emily King in the United States died once and for all.
Emily, a 30-year-old teacher and mother-to-be, is now 20 weeks pregnant and is ready to wait for her daughter to give her a big "0 birthday" after she is born.
Everything else is well said, only the guest problem is the most nerve-wracking.
She painstakingly designed an invitation to the Lord of the Rings, planning to invite 50 friends and family, but she estimates that it would be nice to get 35 people.
In order to save trouble, she used an electronic invitation APP, and after designing the main body of the invitation, it was time to send it.
She found a function in the app, "Import Contacts from Contacts".
Emily thought, it's very convenient, after all the imports are completed, and then choose who to invite, you don't have to send them one by one...
(Emily thought it would be optional after importing)
She couldn't have been more wrong.
It turns out that this APP has two pages that can import contacts, one is as Emily thought, allowing to import first, and then choose which one to invite;
The other is "Import from previous party guests", then continue to select "Import Contacts from Contacts" on that page - this is directly sent in bulk!
Unfortunately, Emily uses the latter ......
The app imported all 487 contacts in her address book and invited everyone.
(487 people were directly invited by the APP)
At this time, Emily didn't know that it had been a big mistake, she typed "Dad" to confirm, but she didn't expect the APP to pop up a prompt, "invited".
She thought it was strange and clicked back, and just then, she saw the long list of invitations—
Her boss, colleagues, ex-boyfriend, classmates she hasn't been in touch with for years, and all the strangers she has saved over the years are all on the list.....
What's even more embarrassing is that the title used in the invitation letter is the note she has saved in the address book.......
Among them is "Derek (Rolling Eyes Emoji)", a colleague who works as a mentor in graduate school and is a bit of an annoying guy;
(Derek rolls his eyes and receives an invitation)
"Justin (Delta Air Lines Lounge)", a cute boy he met on a trip to New Zealand when he was 21 years old, had a good chat at the time, saved his contact information, and never contacted him again...
Similarly, there's also a "cute guy at the bar", I don't know who it is, probably from drinking before...
"Jesse (hit her car in the parking lot)", it wasn't a pleasant one, I hope she doesn't remember...
("Jesse hit her car in the parking lot", invited)
"New science teacher, I think so", another colleague I don't know well...
"High School Science Buddy", I haven't been in touch for 15 years...
"David (parking attendant)", this is the most serious and handy note...
After looking at it twice, Emily was in a cold sweat, and she hurriedly clicked the "cancel button" in the APP, but it didn't help - "cancel" refers to "cancel the birthday party itself",
The invitation has been sent, everyone should see it or will see it, it's just that the link can't be opened......
Emily toes pulled out of the three-bedroom living room, eager to find a crack in the ground to get into, she thought,
"Shouldn't I resign? No, just bye-bye, I'm going to change my identity......"
(Emily: I feel like I'm going to live on a different planet)
Because Emily's experience is very well substituted, and she will feel very social death if she is substituted, her video quickly exploded, gaining more than 13 million views on Tik-Tok, and the comments of netizens are very funny:
"I think that's enough for you to go to the witness protection program. ”
(Witness protection program, fear of retaliation against witnesses, government funds to help witnesses live incognito and live a new life)
"That's all it, it's better to import it again and send a 'no invitation' to everyone..."
"If 'Gary' comes, I'm going to die. ”
"'Rita (annoying colleague)' accepted the invitation. ”
"Dear 'Derek (rolls his eyes)', you've been invited to..."
"If 'Mark (who owes me $100 for the version)' came to my son's birthday party, I would really die"
"'Aubrey's anti-social ex'... I'm really going to die."
"Oh no!!' My note to the neighbor was 'Jeep pervert'..."
(All of the above are from TT netizen comments)
However, in addition to being funny, some netizens put forward sincere suggestions:
"I think Evite should compensate you. ”
"They need to get rid of it!"
(All from TT netizen comments)
Fortunately, the APP official was very persuasive, not only lost Emily's $500 takeaway voucher, but also urgently updated the APP and deleted the "Select All" function.
And when you import contacts, you can also see the number of people you have selected in the upper right corner.....
(The invitation app was quickly updated)
As for Emily herself, of course, "living on a different earth" or something can only be thought about, she is still very socially dead. Recently, she was interviewed by the American "Today Show" and talked about what happened after sending out the invitation.
She was a teacher, but she didn't save all the students' numbers, and the next day she plucked up the courage to go to work and heard the students in the class talking:
"I wasn't invited!
And, of course, bizarre colleagues.
She later went to her colleagues one by one to cancel the invitation, and when it came to the "new science teacher?" I think so, it was an embarrassment, not to mention her bosses..... I'm going to sweat when I think about it.
Fortunately, Emily is very outgoing and cheerful, and the embarrassment will pass after a while, she said:
"I'm a very sociable person, that's why I never delete anyone's number......"
Luckily, many of the guests didn't reply to her, and Emily thought that either they realized she had sent it wrong, or they just felt too embarrassed to reply.
But in any case, more people will appear at their daughter's birthday party in the future, and the extra meal fee APP will also compensate the official......
Emily thinks that this seems like a good thing, and I think I'm looking forward to it.
(Emily: "I'm really looking forward to the birthday party")
"I'm a guy with a good sense of humor, and I'm glad to be able to bring joy to everyone," Emily said. Of course, my daughter's birthday party would be just as cool!"
In June, the party will be officially held, and there may be some unexpected guests, so I'm really looking forward to the follow-up.....
