Maybe it’s the fact that it’s the Monday after a holiday, maybe I’m just ornery this afternoon, or maybe this just sucks.
Either way, I had a minor brain aneurysm after attempting the unholy task of unsubscribing from Microsoft marketing spam and I thought I’d share to provide an example of what not to do.
My thought is, if you want me to have warm fuzzies, please at least try to make it easy for me to stop receiving email from you. I know we’ve had a few email issues ourselves, but come on. If they tried, they couldn’t have made it more unhelpful, tedious or mind-numbingly annoying to stop receiving unsolicited email.
From their unsubscribe page:
Three options!? Profile center!? Don’t make me choose. Along with the rest of the world, I have severe adult ADD and have no patience for choosing, menus, passwords or reading.
Just unsubscribe me. Please.
