fox_confessorThank you, my dear ones, for your reassurances. I have an appointment tomorrow with a chiropractor who came recommended by a friend and who managed not to have a complaint against them through the BBB or, as far as I could tell, the internet at large. Fingers crossed!
In the meantime, I have become locked into a mortal battle with William (or possibly AJ) from Nike+. Someone who has a penchant for signing up for everything in the world has an email address that is very close to mine so I constantly get her emails. Most I can just unsubscribe, as you do. Some, I've had to contact the company because holy crap Jet Blue just sends all sorts of information that I would not want a stranger to have. In order to unsubscribe from Nike+, you have to have an account, which I don't have. So I emailed, and they emailed back, "hey hey! someone with your name does have an account liar liar pants on fire. Give me your zip code from 2007 so I can prove it to you." Yeah. no dice. Not me, because as I've said, I don't have an account with Nike+ because it's apparently a place were you go to cheer each other on for things, I'm assuming, involving Nike shoes. I exercise barefoot, yo'.
So, anyway: Mortal Combat. I explain the whole "idiot person can't remember their own email, which is not mine!" and the advice I get back is to set up identity protection, which...what? *Sidebar: I actually have it because my state basically gathered up all the tax records for the last ten years and waved them around on the internet, so while I know I'm ripe for a pimply faced teenage in Idaho masterbating with one hand and stealing my shit with the other? This isn't that. William and/or AJ seems to think this is the end. They've had the last word: Tooo bad for you lady. You don't have an account? You are doomed to receive friends' requests for the rest of your natural life and there's nothing you or I can do about it.
Actually, I don't have any hopes of resolving this and will continue just to send these to spam, but my response shall be the last word (I bet they respond to me):
Hello,
I already have identity protection set up through a respected company so I am not (currently or unduely) worried about that but thank you for the advice. Your email response doesn't sound like you can make the emails from Nike stop, which is a bit frustrating since you are them and they are you. If you don't have an account associated with my email address, how is it that I continue to receive emails like the following:
thalia kamarga wants to be friends on Nike+.
SEE ALL FRIEND REQUESTS
When you're friends, you can see each other's Nike+ activity, complete on leaderboards, and cheer each other on.
I don't know thalia and while I generally wish her all the best in life as a fellow human being, I have no wish to cheer her on; the same with anggia bonyta and the others I've already sent to the trash while quietly wanting to lose my mind over this. I want Nike to stop sending these emails to me and I'd really like if when I hit unsubscribe, it actually unsubscribed my email address like every other website on the face of the planet rather than making me attempt to log into an account I don't have and you can't find. If you can find my email to send me friend requests, then I have great faith in the power of Nike to find and remove it from your system and not allow them to continue. Perhaps if you looked at thalia's recent friends requests you can figure out whose account my email is attached to. You would literally make my day, and possibly my week, since it's generally been pretty crappy, if you could do that for me. You've been very kind and I wish you all the best in life as a fellow human being, too, but I'd really like to stop talking with you as well. Please resolve this. If you don't, I'll assume it's because Nike hates me.
I'm well aware that with the time I've spent arguing with Nike rather than simply sending them to spam I could have, I don't know, cured cancer or solved world hunger but the whole not being able to unsubscribe is really ticking me off. Also, my back hurts and I can't yell at it. Or rather, I can but not without looking like a crazy person. This way it's just between you and me. And William/AJ.
ETA: Well, not completely but I did get them to admit that they had my email address and that someone else was using it:
After I emailed you earlier I investigated further searching other tools that could possibly have the email. I did find i, I believe the other person used your email on accident as you indicated. I noticed a one letter difference. Since this consumer has devices connected to the email I have reached out to them. I hope they return my email soon so I can get this resolved for you.
Best Regards,
AJ
I've no real problem with them stripping my email address away and letting person with the devices flounder mercilessly, never knowing how many miles they've run (which is what I'm assuming the device does. Unless it's a doomsday device... Do you think it controls the sharks with lasers?) Anyway, I emailed back, Thank you for continuing to try. You're awesome! Because I'm sure AJ who isn't William doesn't hear it often enough. His final email:
You are very welcome. Please check in with me periodically as I am still waiting for a response from the other party involved.
So, they win this round but I'm feelling less hateful toward them. Though I've figured out that Nike will respond no matter what, so perhaps I'll just chat with them every time I get an email request so they can see how annoying it is.
