what happened? received a postcard from Playboy magazine AT WORK.

[SherEPunjab]

yup. i'm in a position of authority. a female co-worker put it on my desk. what the hell happened? it had my name clearly written on it. thoughts? please, no sarcastic comments like "thats what you get for spending half your day looking at porn".... its kind of disturbing that I'm on Playboy's mailing list. and embarassing. i've never subscribed to playboy, and i've never purchased one.

subscription changed to postcard. sorry for confusion. not intended. i used the word incorrectly.

Practical joke by a friend?

i think so. and its completely inappropriate. FCKING BASTARDS. IF I FIND OUT... anyways... i was thinking that. you see, when i sign up for those free things online, i don't think they sell it to Playboy. i don't mind junk mail, i'm used to it, but Playboy subscriptions is downright embarassing.

 

[SherEPunjab]

there isn't any way that some company was able to determine if i was looking at porn, trace my ip, investigate it with earthlink, and then earthlink sell my personal info to them. thats not possible right? or for earthlink to monitor my useage and then sell it direct to playboy?

 

[BillGates]

See if they have a customer service contact number and find out how the subscription was paid for and by whom.

And while you're on the phone with them, tell them to send some hussies my way.

it wasn't funny. to top it off, i'm in a position of authority and a FEMALE co worker handed it to me.

OK, they don't make money by sending free subscriptions to people who they determined were porn addicts by their IP addresses. Someone either paid for the subscription, or signed up for the subscription and told them to send you a bill. Call Playboy and see if you can find out who paid for it.

no, it wasn't a subscription. if was playboy postcard that was inviting me for a subscription. but it still showed chicks in revealing attire on it, it was a full color postcard. it had my full name on it.

Uh...you SAID it was subcription to playboy. NOT a subscription OFFER. This is just spam. Everyone gets it.
If it was only a subscription card, who cares?
These things get sent out to every man over 18 everywhere. Anywhere could have sold them your address, age, and sex.
Your co-worker must know this.
Get over it.

i said a playboy subscription. anyways, I CARE. it looks bad on my part. and thats 100% b.s. that they send it to any guy over the age of 18. i've never had it before, until yesterday.

i would talk to your boss and make sure he knows that you didnt order it or you could be fired for sexual harrasment.

have you received a playboy subscription (okay to make it clear folks, a Playboy postcard) at your work Ameesh? this is not usual, is it?

 

[KGB1]

Tell her you needed to look at something to distract yourself from staring at her while at work....

You should really stop undressing female co-workers with your eyes

 

[SherEPunjab]

my bad:

according to m-w.com

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=subscription




"3 : an arrangement for providing, receiving, or making use of something of a continuing or periodic nature on a prepayment plan: as a : a purchase by prepayment for a certain number of issues (as of a periodical)"

i have been using subscription incorrectly. my bad. anyways, it was a postcard asking me to signup. and yes, i find that even offensive.

If you use your work address for a lot of forms and the like then that is why you received one. I received one as well a few months back, but at home.

i do. i'm at work most of the time, and when i do online shopping, i hate it when sometimes they dont' leave it at your front door then i have to reschedule a pickup or drive 15 mins away to the pickup center and get it myself, so i use my work address a lot. i've gotten things from pcnation, cdW, dell, etc. but nothing from an sexually explicit company. even though i laughed it off as junk mail, it still looks kinda bad.

 

[imported_Mike]

Was the postcard just asking you to subscribe or was it saying thanks for subscribing? I know you didn't/don't subscribe but just curious of what it said. If it was asking you to subscribe I really don't see an issue.
