More unneeded stress! - "Paperless Post" - whatever that is! [View all]
One of my most high maintenance cousins just sent this thing, "You're exclusively invited" via something called Paperless Post. It shows only a graphic of a mailing envelop "addressed to" Special Occasion and a "stamp" location that says Paperless Post. Clicking on it results in a crapfest of verifying-you're-a-human, picking an email or phone provider to sign-in with, ending up with a display of four numbers to pick one from that supposedly arrived separately at some unknown place. After multiple tries, finally arrived at a Download option and did that but the file in the Downloads doesn't open.
*** But to top it off, got "critical" warnings from (Google?) saying that somebody has been trying to sign in and asking whether it was I. Not only that, but then a never-before-seen blue screen took over with a "20% Done" saying that it needed to restart while (who?) was collecting error information. After waiting a long while with the 20% unchanging and somebody operating a cursor over invisible places on the blue screen and my not able to have a cursor, I did a Ctl-Alt-Del and did my own restart. Things seem normal.
Back at the envelop, apparently I have some kind of access because little popups are telling me that so-and-so downloaded, then somebody else accessed their invitation, and somebody else began downloading, and on and on. It's apparently a big event, all with people I don't know. In fact I barely know my cousin and her husband.
It's probably a birthday or their anniversary of many years, but it's not my thing. I'll probably send a shot-in-the-dark card without a date since I don't know any date. But I feel pressured to be curious, so if anybody knows what the problem with opening the Download, I'll give it a whack. Thanks.
