E-mail forwards... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

fr00ti · 07-05-2003, 12:41 AM

Does anyone find them as annoying as I do? I hate them! I dont even forward them anymore because its gotten so frustrating. I mean Im not going to actually sit there and read something about how "my crush is going to call in 5 mins if I send this to 20 people." Sometimes I'll even get the same ones from my friends more than once! And I cant block them because then I'll block my friends e-mail address... does this bother anyone else?

A topic I can really and truly relate to. I hate forwards. See I got a mail account of my own at hotmail, I rarely get forwards there, of course all the rest of the junk mail really annoys me also. If it's not one thing, it's something else.

Okay, let me get back on topic. My father has an email account. I use it for ebay stuff. He's always got this one chick forwarding stuff. And it takes so long for forwards to come through in his account. You know forwards wouldn't be so bad if the person actually typed something in, you know? "Hi. Someone sent me this and I thought you'd like it. It really is a cute movie, picture, whatever". No, this chick doesn't type anything in. Just forwards them out to however many people she usually sends them out to. Sends 3 or 4 different forwards at a time. It's annoying. I don't read them, but just the time it takes to get the things in the inbox, it's annoying.

Edit: And I absolutely refuse to forward these forwards on. My father tells me to forward some of them to so and so and I refuse to do it. It clogs up your email and I know some people hate getting the things, too. When the email goes slow, I just groan and know somebody sent a forward w/ an attachment.

Unless they are a Christian forward that has none of that ridiculous "send this to 20 people in 5 minutes and....." crap at the end of them, then yes I delete the heck out of 'em!

What maniac started the things?

He's my favorite character in the movie...

I've just decided to switch our Friday schedule to Monday, which means that the test we take each Friday on what we learned during the week will now take place on Monday before we've learned it. But since today is Tuesday, it doesn't matter in the slightest.

Yea I hate them, especially the ones that are fake

"Some girl is dying of a disease everytime you forward this 3 cents will be donated to the little girl"

"Everytime you forward this microsoft will pay you"

"A new computer virus out that norton anti-virus can't detect!"

animalcrackers · 07-05-2003, 09:03 AM

I get them just about everyday. I used to send them on, but now I delete them. They're really getting annoying, especially when they say great things will come to you, I'm still waiting.
