Does anyone else feel like vomiting when they get one of those sickly, pointless and childish texts that usually go a bit like 'you are a beautiful mother and human being, if you think i am too, send this back to me and to 9 other beautiful mothers...'

You get the kind of thing i mean. Part of me is always genuinly surprised that anyone would consider me a suitable recipiant of such a puke enducing message, the rest of me is ashamed to know anyone who would send one well enough to give them my mobile number.

Is that so unreasonable?

Delete delete.
Mostly it's my mum sending them to me, I assume she thinks they're nice.

They drive me nuts too.

I can just about tolerate the saccharine sweet ones but when I'm expected to forward the 3 or 4 texts these dirges are compiled of, then they are ditched.

I know some people have unlimited text messaging but I don't

I hate these but unfortunately I do forward on the 'chain' ones which promise bad luck if you don't, as I'm very superstitious

I delete them straight away and give no further thought to them save perhaps a tad of pity for the weakness of the person who sent the text on to me.

I forward them if I think they are funny, or if I share the sentiments involved. But I haven't forwarded the one a close friend sent me recently, that promised me a miserable 2011 if I didn't forward it.

This friend knows about my struggles with depression, so why she would send it to me is beyond my comprehension.

I hate these too!
I might hand on the sentiments, if I like them, but I always delete the part that threatens or asks me to send them on to bla bla amount of people.
I really really hate the threatening ones!!

I really don't understand why anyone would send on a threatening one - especially if they know the person they are sending it to has issues with depression.

Ugh they annoy me. If I want to let someone know I think they're important in my life I just send a card or nice email to let them know.
