It titillates me when I see that I have new messages in my gmail account. Everyday I open it up and get excited to read what others have sent. However, there a couple of things that really piss me off about my email account.
1. Getting forwards from people that feel like they are obligated to forward them to you, because it says something like “Jesus would want everyone to hear about this, so will you follow or deny him” or “You will be granted your greatest wish if you forward this to 10 people right now!”
2. Getting a forward from someone and the first sentence reads. “I normally don’t forward these types of things, but…….”
Now don’t get me wrong, I have forwarded stuff before. Actually as recently as a couple days of ago, I forwarded some thing that was sent to me, mainly because I was bored, and I think I threw up when I was done. But here is the point. In the 1990’s that was the coolest shit in the world to do. Chain letters, chat rooms, pen pals, mass forwarding, etc. As of right now, actually as of 5-10 years ago, that is no longer acceptable! People will respect you a whole lot more if you stop forwarding pointless crap and nonsense!
Jesus will still love you, I promise. The little girl that needs a bone marrow transplant will get it, or some douche bag in Europe will get a new car. Nothing you forward will really benefit you or the sob person that sent it. Some people just have a lot of time on their hands to forward idiotic stuff. In fact, most of the drama and political garbage that was spread around this year was because of forwards and gossip.
I deal with high school and middle school kids on a daily basis and there is more drama in my inbox every morning then in their “social” lives.
Please everyone, do me a favor. STOP sending me emails that you got from your dirty uncle or long lost relative!
