Silly Chain emails

Post by **_Scottie** » Fri Jan 25, 2008 2:56 am

Who are these people that have nothing better to do than make up stupid chain e-mails!!!!

(This said as I start my 3rd hour posting useless messages on message board when I could be doing SO many more fruitful things)

My co-workers. I'd start moaning over how they should be working, but I'm on here 90% of the time I'm at my office...

Chain mail suck. I have two friends that send me the exact same ones all the time. So I get doubled up on crap. Usually stuff like I am going to die if I don't resend. I just ignore them.

I mean, just how stupid do people have to be? Who on Earth would...?

Oh wait... wait a second... if they believe the contents of the email, then maybe... that's right... hmmm... I see...

Amen, Schmo! I can't tell you how many of these stupid chains I've broken. LOL

Co-workers are the worst offenders, too! I agree, GoodK, it's maddening!

And the real problem is, it's not like you can set their email address on SPAM. They're your co-workers. On the off chance that they actually send you an email regarding work, you have to keep them in your address book.

GRRR!

I usually just hit 'reply to all' and type a message that makes the sender look stupid. More often than not, I don't get junk mail from them again.

Holy crap, what a great idea!

Thank you.

Yeah, after hitting reply to all and including a Snopes link exploding whatever stupid urban legend the chain letter contained, with an admonition not to contribute to the clogging of our inboxes with such silly crap, two or three times, I've finally stopped getting this kind of thing from my extended family and friends. It could actually be that most of them have lost their "internet innocence" by now and actually know better. One can always hope.

I just told the people who send them to me that I would much prefer that they didn't. It took a few times to get the message through.
