Some pictures were sent to you of my 1 yr old son and possibly of myself by an very unkind co-worker ... they were sent from the following address: [snipped]@choicehotels.com.
We didn't get any submissions from the e-mail address you provided, but two other folks @choicehotels.com sent in the same URL - so I'm guessing you're even more unpopular than you think.
These things generally happen for a reason. Do you treat other people like dirt? Are you quite attentive to hygiene? Does your incompetence cost the company business or force your office mates to work twice as hard to make up for the slack while cleaning up after you? Chances are that a total attitude adjustment, regular bathing, and putting a little effort into your job would make things more pleasant for all the folks at Choice Hotels.
In time, maybe somebody might even ask you what you're doing for lunch.
I did not go into your site to find out which ones they were ...
So how do you expect us to know which ones they are? Honestly.
All the same, chances are that neither you nor your offspring made the cut. We get a large number of "my ugly friend/enemy/coworker/neighbor" submissions, and they're usually not in the same league as the kinds of cretin we feature. Granted, they're probably offensive, obnoxious, or annoying people, but the qualities of character that make most people reviled aren't evident at first glance.
And chances are the folks we feature could well be the sweetest, most benign individuals you'd never care to meet.

I really (and I mean really) want to send you an attachment of a coworker posted on an internal website ... As such I've made one of those executive type decisions (you know, the ones that usually get me in trouble) and attached the image. (it's only 43k)
This prolly won't get you in trouble (unless you sent it in from the office and somebody audits the proxy server), but it probably won't get posted. We usually set mail filters to ignore any message with an attachment, but our ISP kept sending us messages about our mailbox being full - over 10 Meg, which took the better part of a day to download.
While we appreciate you kept an eye on image size, there's a bit of math you overlooked - the gross number of submissions times the size of attachments. It gets .. or got ... pretty obscene.
I hope I can be forgiven for this transgression.
OK, we forgive you - and everybody else who didn't bother to read the bit that says "no attachments please" - at least up to now.
In the future, we'll spend our idle time using every search engine available to locate the home pages of folks who send us attachments and ... well ... heehee!
