Stupid email fwds


Ok, WHY do people fwd the same crap that's been going around the net for YEARS?!?!?! It's even worse when someone sends me something months ago, I reply back with "it's a hoax" and give them the links to either hoaxbusters or snopes (sometimes both!) that takes them directly to the report talking about this being a HOAX!!!! Then, a month later, the same moron sends me the same frickin' thing again! How gullible ARE some people? It really pisses me off! Ok, I'm done with my rant.

I hate it when the only time you get an e-mail from someone is a friggen chain letter they forward to you. Yeah, you haven't heard from them for 8 months, but you are getting "Send this to 10 of your friends with in 10 minutes and you will find true love" e-mails. It's like thats the only way you know their alive

...of course, being the only full blooded Eskimo on the board I should have a little more tolerance for people

I'll only politely reply once. Many of these people are internet newbies so they still fall for everything they read in their inbox. If they are stupid enough to send me something a second time, I start into the smart ass replies. Like, "Um, I told you last month to make sure something is true before you fwd it to me. Do you believe it when you get an email in your inbox saying that by taking a pill you can enlarge your man's penis? I doubt it! So please think about it before you fwd this stuff to me." Strangely, I actually don't get fwd's very often anymore?!?!?! It's just the stupid people that send me the same crap time and time again that just annoy the heck out of me!

When I check my email and sees that a friend or relatives has either fwd or big kb next to the letter I just delete it since I know its one of those chain letters or one of those if you mail this Bill Gates will send you ten dollars crap.

So some guy from nigeria isn't going to give me a half of his 22 million dollars?

I shouldn't have given him my bank account information...
