The official chain e-mail hate thread!

Who else here hates those annoying chain e-mails that go something like:

^ yessir!! !

I used to have a friend who would NEVER bother to reply to my texts or emails, but she would ALWAYS forward me those effing stupid chain things!! Why bother?! I suppose she thinks it's complimentary when it's one of those ones that say, "Forward this to five people you care about," but actually, it made me wanna text back, "Great, now do you care enough to reply to what I actually SENT??! !" Those things are SUCH a waste of credit!! Yet she said that she hardly ever texted me back cos she was saving her credit for her mum and sister (what is she, Mormon?!). OK, this is turning into a rant about me ex-friend now, so I'll shut up, LOL.

I always got the "a dude with no eyes will kill you if you don't forward this" ones as well, cos she was too scared to not send it. I just press delete and I'm still alive, amirite?!

Well, I hate all spam. It's really annoying to get them from my family. Really, how can they just mindlessly send it on? Do they really think I'll read it?

i hate those ones too. they totally suck.

Yeah. They're really annoying. When I had a myspace account, they'd pop up on there too. I hate those things. Some people just don't seem to understand that no matter what the content is, getting a chain mail, with a ton of email addresses, comments from random people, and a lot of scrolling is annoying.

I even got a chain text once. It was from a guy I knew a couple years ago, and he was just using my number to circulate this stupid text "By midnight, or annie's ghost will come to you and murder you in your sleep." I am not kidding. I didn't even know who it was and had to ask.

I just delete those chain emails. The most annoying thing is when my email address is embedded in there on the TO or CC line and so called friends are passing my email address on to the whole world, as though I don't get enough spam.

At the very least I wish people would learn to send email with BCC so they aren't sharing their entire address book with everyone on the planet.

I will pass on chain emails if they are worthy things (like the email I got from on Facebook, which had a poem - apparently from a girl dying of cancer - which was basically all about savouring life because of its finite quality), but the ones which say that I'll somehow get a kiss from my true love if I pass it on are just put into my delete folder as soon as I see them.

The other emails I delete pretty much instantly are those hilariously dumb ones from scammers pretending to have loads of money so that they can get your bank details. I really don't know how anybody could fall for them...
