forwarding Emails without seeing who got them already.
 

i get alot of emails.

i say 40% of them are repeats. for instance..someone sends one to the entire office saying, "it's raining"..then each one of the reciepients will forward it to me with an "FYI"..

good lord.. rant over. i think it is just people making themselves look busy and on top of the issues.

I have never and will never forward those stupid jokes and cute sayings like many other people do.

Don't you risk 100 years bad luck if you refuse to forward?

I always like the 35 message reply-all conversation conversation between two people, with 45 others included.

This is what facebook is for.

Send them this:
Peace be unto you, your computer and the e-mail you receive this day.

May the mail you receive not require you to multiply it tenfold or return it within a limited time frame.

May the mail you receive not require you to take action to prove your love, friendship, or concern for the welfare of the sender.

May the mail you receive not start with Fw Fw Fw and not contain strangely named attachments.

May the mail you receive not require you to look closely at those on the playground to see if they are the non-missing children you are to be searching for.

May the mail you receive not cause you to change your eating habits to avoid plagues, pestilence and the eating of parts of things that you can't buy at Wal-Mart.

May the mail you receive not encourage you to carry a steel plate on which to sit in theaters or other public places.

May the mail you receive not encourage you to learn the 800 Number for the National Missing Child Bureau, Center for Disease Control or the FCC.

And above all, may your inaction to the mail you receive not cause the death of monks, missionaries, mothers or the misguided.

If they still don't take the hint, send this:

If you receive an email entitled "Bedtimes"

Delete it IMMEDIATELY. Do not open it.

Apparently this one is pretty nasty.

It will not only erase everything on your hard drive, but it will also delete anything on disks within 20 feet of your computer.

It demagnetizes the stripes on ALL of your credit cards.

It reprograms your ATM access code, screws up the tracking on your VCR, and uses subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you attempt to play.

It will program your phone auto dial to call only 0898 numbers.

This virus will mix antifreeze into your fish tank.

IT WILL CAUSE YOUR TOILET TO FLUSH WHILE YOU ARE SHOWERING.
It will drink ALL your beer.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, ARE YOU LISTENING? ?
It will leave dirty underwear on the coffee table when you are expecting company.

It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine. If the "Bedtimes" message opened in a Windows XP, Vista, or 7 environment, it will leave the toilet seat up and leave your hair dryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub.

It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattresses and pillows, it will also refill your skim milk with whole milk.

WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN.

And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll fart so hard that your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in front of you, sending sparks that will ignite the person nearest you.
Send this warning to everyone!!!

THERE'S A LOT OF SADNESS IN THE WORLD!
Right now, as you read this, 17 Million people are having a good time with friends!!!

And look at you - you're on the computer!!!!

My father forwards me every piece of email he receives. He doesn't even read them , he just forwards them. I've told him many times that if he forwards an email, I just delete it without reading it and I only read the emails that come from him, but he still does it. Every email he sends me as been sent around the Internet since Al Gore invented it...

BTW - applies to to text msgs too. Have been caught and embarrassed several times this way thinking i Was oly replying to sender.

at work we ad some nitwit reply all to a email that was sent to a large group, maybe 1000 people. then there were the other 1000 that wanted to know why they were not part of that group replying all and wanting to know wtf
