Spamming My Uterus

Exactly 39 minutes after I posted my whiny blog post comparing wisdom teeth pains to period pains, I got this email:

"Hi Sisi,

Pls complete the additional Questionairs [sic] form that related to your menstruation pain. and letter of consent - Clinic and address to ask for your history on the consultation of menstruation pain.

Pls sign at "X" and email me back.

Thank you.

Warmest Regards,

XXX
AIA Singapore"

There was even an attached Gynaecological Disorders Questionnaire with some rows filled in for me already.

The diagnosis? Menstruation Pain (written in all caps).

This was an application for life insurance.

This type of targeted marketing definitely beats annoying Google ads on the sidebars of your email.

Oh and btw. That email was not for me. I wrote them back and told them that they had the wrong Sisi, and that from one Sisi to another, I hope she will feel better because periods do suck.

I wish they passed on my sympathies.
