I got at least 10 every day last week, genius in email and on LinkedIn. Many for "opportunities" that have literally nothing to do with what I actually do. Now THAT's rude behavior.

But fear not! I do respond to each and every lame, ignorant message. I block them and report them as spam.

"Mom!!! The mean guy is being mean again!"
