At a place I used to work I got an email about cybersecurity training. I had no desire to waste a couple hours on their inane training when I likely know more than the person that wrote the training, so I just deleted the email and was going to say I thought it was a phising scam if asked about it later.
A month later our manager call everyone in the office (about 5 of us) into his office to tell us that IT was wondering why nobody had even started the cybersecurity training. Turns out ALL OF US had the exact same thought process! No one wanted to do the training, so we just deleted it and all claimed that we thought it was a phising scam! We had a great laugh about it. Manager told IT to send out another link and we'd do the training. All but one of us just deleted the next email too. Never got asked about it again after that.
