I’m feeling sick today. The kind of sick where your head weighs 5 times the rest of your body. So if you try to contact me you’ll probably get one of these replies.
- I am currently out at a job interview and will reply to you if I fail to get the position. Be prepared for my mood.
- You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn’t have received anything at all.
- I will be unable to delete all the unread, worthless emails you send me until I return from holiday on 4 April. Please be patient and your mail will be deleted in the order it was received.
- Thank you for your email. Your credit card has been charged $5.99 for the first ten words and $1.99 for each additional word in your message.
- The e-mail server is unable to verify your server connection and is unable to deliver this message. Please restart your computer and try sending again. (The beauty of this is that when you return, you can see how many in-duh-viduals did this over and over).
- Thank you for your message, which has been added to a queuing system. You are currently in 352nd place, and can expect to receive a reply in approximately 19 weeks.
- I’ve run away to join a different circus.
I got these in an email a couple years ago. Glad I kept it. Have you ever used a reply like these?

If you really don’t want to receive any more emails from somebody try this:
” This computer has been infected with a virus from john.doe@company.com. This virus poses an ongoing threat – in order to avoid a possible computer crash you must refrain from sending any more emails to this address ”
Should slow down your emails until I.T. investigates……
Those are good Josh – And John – nice! I know that would fool most of the folks I deal with and their company is small enough there is no IT.
Generally I have been straight up with my bosses. I can think of two instances I told my boss “I am not feeling well today *wink wink, I have some friends with the day off and we’re going 4-wheeling”. It wasn’t a problem since I made sure I was caught up at work and had gobs of sick time to use.
The other time, I told him I was going to be sick next Monday. Took him a while to catch up with that one. But wouldn’t you rather know ahead of time if you were the boss?
You might also add:
” I’ve joined the Boy Scouts, somewhere with adult supervision….”
Those are great guys! I’m feeling better already.
I like #7 the best since my job does seem like a 3 ring circus at times.
