Who hates forwards? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Who here hates those forwarded emails?

I hate them because 99% of the time they're some sappy story written by some naive idiot about how friendship is important. Also, getting forwards usually means your friends are too lazy to write you a real message.

I agree with you, for me they are usually "if you don't send this to 10 people in the next 5 minutes, you'll die by the end of the week"

Brent88 · 08-19-2004, 11:13 AM

I do.

EmoJoe · 08-19-2004, 11:20 AM

I REALLY hate them

ThirteenInchEscape · 08-19-2004, 11:41 AM

I hate the ones about god

fortunately, forwards have died in popularity over the last few years

Penny Lane · 08-19-2004, 11:58 AM

I hate them except the jokes. The ones I hate the most are the political ones.

Kay Scarpetta · 08-19-2004, 12:40 PM

Damn forwards to hell.. they are so irritating. By now I've died 12 times, been haunted by some dead girl who got brutally murdered, been dumped by my crush, lost my friend, gone bankrupt, and have received bad luck for the next hundred-thousand years.

Good Lord, give it a rest already..

Me too. Ugh.

I used to get like 20 a day- now I rarely get them, but they're still annoying. Last one I got was called "Perfect Boyfriend"- about what guys should do on a date with a girl to be perfect- then the whole "send it to 10 ppl" crap at the end.

Sometimes they're funny, or depressing- thoguh usually crap. I hate the ones that say if you send to 5 people a magic butterfly or something will fly across the screen!!!

What's weird is most of the forwards I get now stay within my school- it's started by someone at my school- and ends up being received by everyone going to it. It depresses me cos looking at who sent the message to who- it seems everyone in my class is in contact with each other- with the exception of me!!!

PZelda · 08-19-2004, 02:08 PM

*raises hand* I do. Now I only get one maybe once a month, if that.

Mijada · 08-19-2004, 02:23 PM

I don't like them either. I usually don't even bother reading them. I just delete them right off the bat.

Hollow · 08-19-2004, 02:35 PM

Omg! Yes, I hate those. The most annoying ones are what a couple co-workers send me. These little stories or coupons that they didn't bother to check out at snopes.com before sending it along.

wolf paws · 08-19-2004, 02:54 PM

I don't really mind forwards as long as I don't get more than two or three a day and has long as they are not really long! I send only the good natured forwards...1 forward a week. I know that most of my friends don't check their e-mail as often as I do, so I only try to send one a week, unless they've asked me not to send them forwards, and I respect that. I also forward "real" e-mails, and my friends don't mind it at all.

I hate them, if I get them they probably come to my junk mail folder, which gets deleted without me opening it
