To be FUMING every time a so called friend sends me one of those dodgy emails?

[nightowl]

Stupid chain email type things "send this to 10 friends in 5 minutes or you will die later".

I am a superstitious person and it really bothers me. Just because they write at the bottom "sorry but i cant chance it" doesn't make it better. I've asked them not to and i absolutely refuse to send them on to anyone else because i think they're horrible.

grrrrr.

rant over!

Oh nightowl, this in jut not on.
Just copy it ten times and send it back.

My very stupid SIL had her children sending mine chain letters that I just binned.
NOTHING will happen to you for not sending them on.

Get some really decent firewalls.

One of my friends does it too, really bugs me. I'm not superstious but it's just so dull and meaningless.

Life goes on and you get what you get, it has nothing to do with if you forward chain letters.

If you get them at work, you might be breaching IT policy if you send them on - a definite reason not to, to counter any superstition!

There's supersticious and supersticious.

Delete them and block emails from that friend.

Ohhh, I know!! It annoys me too. I have one friend who sends me those kind of emails regularly, but never ever takes the time to e-mail me to just say 'hello'.

It drives me mad and I just delete them straight away!

a friend of mine sent me a few of these. I completely ignored them! She hasn't sent me any in a while!

My sil does this all the time, haven't figured out a way of telling her not to yet, as she gets offended at the slightest thing.

I was having a pretty unpleasant time, lots of things going wrong etc, stuff that my friends and family all knew about.

I had a similar email to those described from my Auntie (who should really have known better), and it threatened allsorts if I didn't send it on to up to 15 people. I deleted it. I also put a message up on MSN messenger saying "if you don't hear from me again, you'll know I didn't forward that pathetic chain email..." or something to that effect.

I haven't had another one since!

Send her some porn

just delete and ignore.

I have deleted so many that there is nothing left to happen to me. I have bad luck for about the next 245 years. Send them to me if you like.

Not BOVVERED!

i hate spamsenders... it's bad enough receiving crap from strangers!!!

A friend of mine does this to me - not the 'you will die' ones, but these godawful 'send this to ten of your best friends and brighten their day' kind of deelys.

Apart from making me want to vomit copiously, it is a real irritant... I think she thinks they're sweet...

We really do need a sickbucket emoticon on this board!

yes I agree a vomiting emoticon would be excellent.

these are the best ones, they contain a lovely message, some poem or other, really thought provoking and then at the end it says something along the lines of:

"send this to someone you care about and show them you're thinking of them".

i dont mind those, they're quite sweet.

but then you scroll down and find something like....

"ps, send this to 50 thousand people in the next 0.5 seconds or your gentals will drop off at midnight"

genitals of course lol

God, I haven't got ten friends. Or five minutes.
