Am I being a spoilsport?

[moominmama86]

Have just received one of those bloody chain letter things from a good friend. Don't know if anyone knows them, but it's the one where you are supposed to send a pair of knickers to the person at the top of the list and then send the list onto 6 other people etc. Then you end up with loads of new knaickers.

Am I being a spoilsport in finding this really, really f**king irritating?? The letter goes on and on about how it's really unfair to break the chain because everyone is waiting for their undies to arrive etc - why the hell should I waste my time buying size 10 g-strings (as specified!) for someone I don't even know? I actually have tons on my plate at the mo (which this friend knows full well) and have no bloody time to race around buying pants for strangers. And I don't need 36 pairs of knickers anyway.

Or am I just being a boring old bag?

I wouldnt do it. Hate anything chainmaily.

no you're not being a spoilsport - these things are bad enough when you just have to send them on, never mind go out buying g-strings. sounds like the creator is a bit of a perve! i hate these things to as some people get so scared of bad luck if they don't send them on and can't just ignore them

just ignore it, and if your friend mentions it, look all innocent and say you didn't receive a letter- blame the Post Office.

no you're definitely not ... I hate these sort of things with a passion - they make me very cross and I always bin them immediately

No, they're incredibly irritating and who the hell needs that many pants. Now if it was for something useful like chocolate .............

Well, exactly sponge

Why my friends do this I don't know. I've got another friend who always sends on 'hilarious' joke emails, inspirational verses, etc. Drives me up the wall. It's a shame really because now I don't even bother opening her emails because nine times out of ten it's just some last-day-of-term crap. And she's not even like that IRL - she's lovely, smart and not irritating at all. Grrrr.

I received that letter!!!! My sister-in-law gave it to me!!!

I have to admit - for the sake of a bit of fun - I actually did do it.

That was about a week ago - still haven't received any knickers though.

oh, angel, is this six degrees of separation then?? grin{}

oh, what is wrong with my smileys today????

you used a curly bracket, not a square one

perhaps moomin - wouldn't it be strange if it was the same letter. I didn't think anyone I sent it too would actually continue the chain. Are you in the Hampshire area???

No, am in Surrey. But the person I am supposed to be sending a size 10 g-string to has a name very much like yours...angel...Ring any bells?

silly quesion but do u have to find friends that are size ten or can u vary the size of the g-string?????

no bells ringing here moomin!!!! Still I am in North east hants so surrey is a 5 min car ride away - we probably have got caught up in the same letter.

Mto7 - The knickers can be any size or type you want - you don't have to have g-strings. You can ask for whatever sort of knickers you want.

Lol mts - no, there's a bit on the letter where you can specify the kind of underwear you require.

Of course, part of the reason I don't want to do it is because I'll be requesting size 16 armpit-warmers...

message withdrawn

as my mum would say "if she told you to put your finger in the fire, would you??"

chuck it out

still reckon it's some weird guy who started that chain letter having a laugh!

Hate chain letters with a vengance,especially those that advise ill fortune if you don't pass on. I do throw them out but always feel guilty for chucking them.

Definitely bin it (unless you're desperate for knickers!)

(and why not buy yourself some nice knickers instead? )

Bin it.
