This catty email exchange between two secretaries who were eventually sacked over it, became a chain letter in 2005, but was never properly mangled, and as it ties into the subject of bad gender stereotypes, it's time.
Katrina Nugent and Melinda Bird apparently hate each other, and neither one has remembered how to be nice. Both perpetuate horrible women stereotypes.

Ocean Elf: Eh? emailing support staff and all those others over a lunch? *Shruggs and smh*
Katrina: Yesterday I put my lunch in the fridge on Level 19 which included a packet of ham, some cheese slices and two slices of bread which was going to be for my lunch today.
Over night it has gone missing and as I have no spare money to buy another lunch today, I would appreciate being reimbursed for it.

Melinda: Katrina
There are items fitting your exact description in the level 20 fridge. Are you sure you didn't place your lunch in the wrong fridge yesterday?

Probably best you don't reply to all next time, would be annoyed to the lawyers.
The kitchen was not doing dinner last night, so obviously someone has helped themselves to my lunch.
Really sweet of you to investigate for me!

Ocean Elf: Was that snarky response really necessary when a "No, I'm sure of where I put it and now it has gone." or "I'm sure I put it where I said it was, but will double-check." would've done nicely? And you're the one who started this with an email to all. Why then, by your own standards, wasn't it proper for Melinda to reply in kind? Or is that really even the issue? I believe you were just a bit embarrassed by having a possible error on your part pointed out as widely publicized as your original email was sent.

Since I used to be a float and am still on the level 19 email list I couldn't help but receive your ridiculous email - lucky me!
You use our kitchen all the time for some unknown reason and I saw the items you mentioned in the fridge so naturally thought you may have placed them in the wrong fridge.
Thanks I know I'm sweet and I only had your best interests at heart. Now as you would say, "BYE"!

Having said that, it isn't just women getting this kind of peer pressure, no matter what the liberal and feminist "Rah rah womanhood!" people claim.
While writing this mangle, I just muted a commercial for some baldness remedy, one of those nasty commercials that implies men are only nice looking and attractive if they have a full head of hair. give me a break!

Katrina: I am in a happy relationship, have a beautiful apartment, brand new car, high pay job...say no more!!
Ocean Elf: But you're currently too broke to buy a lousy sandwich? That's what this was originally about, in case you two banshees have forgotten.
And since when is it cool to put down another woman just because she doesn't have a bf or isn't married? That's stupid. if you have such a good life, prove it and stop with the pettiness.

Ocean Elf: In other words, your life is a mess and you're just as bad at the one-upmanship game as she is. And you think that's something to boast about? think again.
Nobody cares which one of you makes more money. Nobody cares how new your cars are. Nobody cares about your hair, your apartment, and sandwich preferences. I'm definitely not impressed by your strutting and swaggering over who has bagged more guys, why that's supposed to be so bad for Katrina but cool for Melinda, it's messed up no matter who can't get their love life straightened out. I'm not impressed by your "I gots a bigger better castle than you so neener neeners!" thing.
I hope you both have grown up a bit since that unnecessarily rotten cat fight of an email exchange.

Unfortunately, Melinda didn't stop there. In a fit of vengeance, she forwarded this pile of dreck to other people and it went viral from there, and resulted in various reactions, making for a very long exchange.

Ocean Elf: I disagree. It might be a bit funny if all the "blonde" stuff and "You can't keep a boyfriend" etc. stuff hadn't been written. These women went beyond simply acting like idiots and into the realm of perpetuating very bad stereotypes, all of which the media gets blamed for, and feminists wish to blame exclusively on the male gender, but Katrina and Melinda, and anyone who thinks their cheap shots are hilarious, prove that women are just as much at fault for society failing impressionable young girls when it comes to helping build self-esteem.

Forgive me if this has already made its way to you...do any of you actually know these people?
do read it from the bottom first.
so this is what happens in those posh sydney firms
Ocean Elf: another thing to think about before being an email idiot at a work computer - not only how much it could get forwarded by people who'd just get a laugh out of it, but also how it could reflect negatively on any company you work for or are associated with.

If you have absolutely nothing else to do, read this email from the bottom, it is quite amusing - the girl obviously likes her ham and cheese sandwiches, and is prepared to go to almost any lengths to protect them.
Ocean Elf: And the other girl loves to engage in polyamory and humiliate others through snarky internet antics.
Rebecca Fahey: It is a wonder you get much done with all this email excitement James.....

Check this out all... pretty damn funny! (Read from bottom!)
Ocean Elf: The initial whoops in sending the first two emails, the one from Katrina and the reply from Melinda to a whole firm is pretty funny, the rest, notÉ
Tang: A friend that is ex-AAR tells me that Katrina is NOT a pleasant person nor the brightest bulb in the pack.
Ocean Elf: Well that's pretty unpleasant of them and of you to spin this gossip, isn't it? I'm pretty sure Melinda fits those two descriptors as well considering her own snarks and deliberate forwarding to so many people when Katrina had tried to keep it private after the first two emails.

Yes, it could happen anywhere (in fact it may have happened here?). Not quite as good as Clair Squires or swires, whichever it happened to be that had this similar email forward go wrong in London (the swallower if you can't remember).
Ocean Elf: Claire Swire, not Swires. And Bradley Chait, don't forget about Bradley Chait.
And yes, I finally steeled myself and mangled that one too.
Michael Garrone: Declan, I imagine some of your last firms email forwards from the girls in relation to your escapades would have made for some interesting reading.
Ocean Elf: *Rolling eyes*
