How many people delete emails instantly when they see............ - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

"FWD" in the subject box???

I can't stand forwarded emails and never like being on someone's forwarded list. I only like REGULAR emails and PUKE at the sight of FWD

Number 9 Dream · 05-02-2008, 11:30 PM

Yeah, I'm definitely not a fan of the forwards either.

My Mom: "did you get the email I forwarded you?"

Me: Yes

My Mom: "did you read it?"

Me: NO!!!!!!!

lol

InspectorExstead · 05-02-2008, 11:37 PM

it depends. i cannot stand stupid chain letters so those i automatically delete.
however, there are times when my friends receive e-mails about certain things (like a birthday party or a get together) that are coming up & they forward those to people. those i don't delete instantly.

Ireneparalegal · 05-02-2008, 11:37 PM

It depends.

Stormtracker TF · 05-02-2008, 11:42 PM

I rarely ever get them so I read all of them. Most of the time they don't bother me at all, unless it's some lame forwarded thing like "If you don't resend this in 5 minutes your mother's best friend will die in a fire" I delete it and usually don't open forwards from them again.

It depends. I enjoy the mushy ones from some friends I care about. One friend sends me some R rated ones that are so funny. I'm not one for reading long poems and things like that.

I delete them right away. Can't stand them.

It gets so bad with me that it's on my list of prohibited words that Yahoo Mail has. (If the SUBJECT LINE contains Fw, automatically move it to the TRASH CAN.)

example #1:
iF U sEnD dIzzz 2 945748 PpLz iN tEh NeXt .0001 mIlLiSeCoNdZ, uR cRuSh WiLl MaRrY u. iF u dOnT, tHeY wIlL h8 U 4eVa. No JoKe.

example #2:
if you believe in god, pass this on. if you don't, you're promoting satan and will perish in hell.

example #3:
sign this petition, then email it to the government once it reaches 1,000 signatures so that they'll change the federal law.

example #4:
[a horrible ballad is embedded in the background via html with no 'pause' or 'stop' option available anywhere.]

[insert gross picture of an aborted fetus]
caption: "why didn't you want me, mommy?"

[another aborted fetus picture]
caption: "don't i deserve a chance?"

[another aborted fetus picture]
caption: "i love you, mommy. i thought you loved me too."

ABORTION IS MURDER. pass this on, unless you don't have a soul.

example #5:
hi, my name is bob. i am eight years old and i have brain cancer. my parents are too poor to pay for medical treatment. the "make a wish" foundation has agreed to donate $5 to my medical bills for every time this message is forwarded. no, you won't have bad luck if you don't, but if you have any kindness in your heart, i ask that you please take just a few seconds out of your time to pass this on. thank you in advance. have a very wonderful day.

waichingliu81 · 05-03-2008, 06:01 AM

its all spam but i delete it anyway because it is a nuisance. what i don't get is how do these companies or people find out what your email address is and send you crappy messages, even though you have never once emailed them at all?

OH Nuts! · 05-03-2008, 09:28 AM

I might only open one if it came from a close friend, and since this AMLOST NEVER happens I almost never open them.

Jude The Obscure · 05-03-2008, 11:26 AM

I sometimes write back to my friends who all they do is foward--"hey, you found the time to send a foward about some goofy joke, silly picture, inspiring story or to tell me I don't love Jesus if I don't forward this e-mail a 100 times in the 7 minutes, but you can't find the time to actually have a conversation with me? So much for your friendship....."
