I am sick of friends and relatives forwarding on spurious spam emails purporting to be about maintaining my safety, or 'amusing' photoshopped pictures.
Firstly, they never check the truth of the content, so perpetuating the vast quantity of circular emails, and causing unnecessary concern to those who take everything at face value.
And secondly, if they can't refrain from doing it, why can't they put the email addresses in the bcc box, so that I don't get replies from 45 people I have never heard of before? Or, they forward it on to another 45 people who also then have visibility of my email address. You wouldn't hand out your address and phone number to half the world, so why do people think it is ok to do it with email addresses?
AIBU to think this is ignorant and rude? Or am I just being grumpy because I've been awake since 5 ?
