Do you hate forwarded emails?

[erickj92]

ok, u know those e-mails that tell u to send it to so many people within so many min or something will hapen to you... dont u just hate it, who else here hates it?

 

[hydroponik]

Chain letters (or emails rather)? Yeah, they get deleted right away.

 

[erickj92]

im talking about the stupid ones u get that tell u to send them to people or u will die or something like that

 

[Tiamat]

thats what "shift delete" is for

 

[Alone]

I block anyone who sends me these e-mails. I can't get e-mails from my dad anymore.

 

[erickj92]

well i dont mind the ones that are funny jokes, i dont mind those but i hate the ones with all the supersticious stuff in them...

 

[mugs]

I hate them as much as I hate when people abbreviate "you" to "u."

My grandmother is really the only person who sends me e-mail forwards. I don't even bother opening e-mails from my grandmother.

Reply with 50,000 emails. That puts a stop to it... sometimes.

I dislike them as much as I do folks who don't use spell-check

[Vidda]

The people who hit "Reply All" to an email message with 50 billion recipients piss me off more.

I hated that e-mail many years ago about Microsoft testing a new e-mail tracking system, and if you forward the e-mail to 10 people you will receive a free trip to Disney World. That damned thing went on for a couple months before it died out.

And I really hated those who had a faster internet connection many years ago forwarding several 1-2mb attachments at a time. This was before the days of webmail, when the attachments had to be downloaded before you could get access to any other new e-mails.

But I haven't seen any e-mail forwards in a very long time.

Reply to all is the worst

I hate them and certainly don't forward them.

Usually get them from AOLers and ex-AOLers.

[Spacehead]

My sister & mother were the only ones that forwarded stuff like that to me. I told them to stop.

I hate the 50 billion recipients who all use "reply all" to send an absolutely meaningless message; especially when the topic is something work related. i.e. Subject: agenda for this afternoon's meeting. Then, these emails:

re: agenda for this afternoon's meeting
Okay, I'll be there.

re: agenda for this afternoon's meeting
Thanks for reminding me.

re: agenda for this afternoon's meeting
gotcha

re: agenda for this afternoon's meeting
(and so on...)

Months?! That thing circulated for years!
