Someone at work who I never met before: Hey we need this webpage updated.

Me: Who told you to contact me? This is not under my responsibilities and I don’t know why you think it is. Who was your contact before? Maybe you should be reaching out to them instead of picking a developer at random to email.

...

You really shouldn't have contacted me. You now know where i am. So i guess, i sadly have to kill you.

But first, i need to know, who sent you. You can lengthen the torture and enjoy the pain - or just tell me what i need to know. It's your choice...

A simple "I think you got the wrong name" would do.

In many cases it's entirely acceptable that people forward to devs - they don't necessarily expect that dev to do anything - but they know there's a chance the dev might know who does. or not. and that's fine.

don't get snarky. being asked "do you know this?" and saying "no" is not a big burden.

@jiraTicket it’s devRant. Stories shared are part truth part fiction. Rants here shouldn’t be taken so seriously. The rants are meant for entertainment and wondering on “why/how’d this happen?” I wouldn’t be employed if I truly said what was on my mind at work.
