I hate those emails that try to look very eco-friendly by including a little green tree symbol at the end and condescendingly instructing you not to print it in order to save trees. But maybe it's one of those you need to print, so racked with guilt you click on the print icon.
What happens next is the short email spills over onto two sheets of paper. Why? Because the sender followed their little tree message with two or three paragraphs of self important waffle about how confidential their email is and what steps you should take immediately if you're are not the intended recipient. Without all that garbage it would have fitted nicely onto a sheet of A4 paper.
It gets worse when you bounce emails back and forth a few times to companies who add these verbose disclaimers each time they reply - so end up with a single page of condensed email text and about four pages of stuff saying you're not allowed to rely on the information provided.
If you think Standard Disclaimer clauses have a tendency towards absurdity you may like this one.
