I came across this on the “Official GMail Blog” and thought it was hilarious. Google launched a new feature yesterday to help with late night drunk emails.
I’m sure most of you who are reading this blog, including myself, have sent an e-mail that we wish we could unsend. Being exhausted, drunk or pissed off has probably led most of us to hit the send button instead of saving and sleeping on it.
Perhaps you’re out on on a Saturday night and indulge in a bit too much in your favorite intoxicant. You decide that it’s time to let your boss know exactly what you think of her and grab your iPhone, with the intention of sending her an e-mail.Well, with these Mail Goggles, you no longer have to worry!
The idea is that when you’ve been partying, you’re less likely to be both willing and able to do some simple math problems. So if you enable Mail Goggles, Gmail will make you answer some math before you can send your email. By default, it’s active on weekend late nights since that’s when most people will need it. But if you do your partying in the afternoon, you can set it for any time of day.
I know of a few relationships that would have lasted longer and a couple of booty calls that would have never happened if one of the people involved had had this tool. Of course, it won’t affect your drunk phone calls to your ex-lover or text messages of undying lust/like/love.
So then the question is, would you wake up with even more regret for using this tool and it preventing your late night booty call or would you be thankful for its existence?
