Now that we're all alert to the menace of corporations reflexively hassling us in the most patronising ways imaginable, I'd like to share the text of an automated e-mail I just got from Wordpress. I must have inadvertently clicked, then abandoned, a paid upgrade button while setting up a free site, because I somehow provoked an e-mail with the subject line "Oops, did you forget this important step?":
Hi [Wordpress username],"We just wanted to shoot you a quick reminder", indeed. When you talk down to me like this, I just want to shoot you, period.
It looks like you were this close to investing in an upgrade for your WordPresscom site, [yoursite.wordpress.com]. What a great decision you were about to make!
Did you forget to finish putting in your information?
If so, no worries. We just wanted to shoot you a quick reminder.
Feel free to click the link below to finish your upgrade and to build the site you’ve always wanted.
