Tolerance and the delete button. Why bother to read the junk?

I'm betting:

a) you didn't follow the instructions

and

b) you didn't get the luck and riches.






Ya see! I guess you've learned YOUR lesson.

It's an age old trick, if you believe that not doing "X" will cause bad things to happen. Then when life happens, you blame it on not doing "X".

A lot of people still strongly believe in astrologers and psychics........

Uh....want to make a smart-aleck comment, but....no.



You must send this on in 3 hours after reading the letter to 10 other people. If you do this, you will receive unbelievably good luck in love. The person that you are most attracted to will soon return to you. If you do not, bad luck will rear its ugly head at you. THIS IS NOT A JOKE! You have read the warnings, seen the cases, and the consequences. You MUST send this on or face dreadfully bad luck.

I have about the same take on these things that you do- but I'd add another thing:

Fifty or sixty exposed e-mail addresses in the headers, because the nimrod didn't know what BCC is. If you want to spam your friends with every cutesy e-mail that comes along- please have the courtesy to not send my e-mail address around the planet. I get enough spam as it is.

I'd rather get the stupid luck e-mails than the 'show the love' forwards.. If you don't forward it to the person who sent it and multiple other people, you supposedly don't love the person who sent it.

I usually politely tell the people who send it to me not to send me those types of letters. Never works, though. I'm just showing that I'm unlucky and don't love them.

I have a couple friends who still send me this crap. I used to have more, but I think I ranted at a couple of them: "Why do you send me this crap?"

One friend sends me chain e-mails about God. I'd love to rant at her, but she'd just think it was against God, and not the stupid emails and she'd just redouble her efforts to convert me.

The last one ended with:

You now have two choices:
1. Delete this..
2. Forward it to all the people you care about.
You already know the choice I opted for.


ACK. I really hate those stupid emails :~D

Chain letters have been around forever but they never cease to be annoying.

At least in the pre-email days you had something that you could wad up and throw in the fire. That was much more therapeutic then just hitting delete.

Any e-mail that looks like a chain letter is deleted and never forwarded, because, to me, it is anti-Christ, anti-God, and superstitious.

I've gotten that one, and it DOES rub me the wron way, but I just delete it and forget it.

The ones I love (NOT) go something like this:

"Poor little Timmy is dying in the hospital. But if you forward this e-mail, Walt Disney Jr./Bill Gates/Whoever has promised to send two cents for every e-mail that is forwarded, and then the doctors can save Timmy's life. Please have a heart and save the life of a poor, sweet, innocent little child! Thank you!!!!!!!!! But if you don't, well, all I can say is, how can you be so heartless that you won't even take two seconds to forward an e-mail to save a child's life?! you must be a mean b*****d, and what comes around goes around!!!!!!!!!!" LOL!
