Occasional Digest - a story for you

A MAN will delete a marketing email every day for the rest of his life rather than simply unsubscribing from the mailing list, he has confirmed. 

Max, not his real name, who has already performed the action over 2000 times, will spend 5 seconds putting the item in the trash on a daily basis, instead of spending 40 seconds changing his preferences once. 

He said: “I bought one pair of shoes from this company in 2016 and they’ve been hounding me ever since, the bastards. It really boils my piss and yet I still can’t be arsed to take half a minute out of my day to stop them. 

“They make it so difficult to unsubscribe. The link is tiny and all the way at the bottom of the page, meaning I have to do at least two swipes of the trackpad to find it. It’s far easier to just become annoyed every single day forever.” 

Max also refuses to update his autofilled passwords, instead preferring to incorrectly type old ones into each field until he is forced to reset them, beginning the cycle all over again.
