| Emails at work People at work send a lot of non work related emails- jokes, prayers, etc and it kind of gets on my nerves- I dont mind the jokes so much but the chain letter things ( you know, send it to 5 women you care about, those things) really annoy me- I dont always know the reason for the email so I always ope them - its such a waste of time- am I the o nly one who feels that way? Do you find them annoying?

| Yup, I find the chain mail type of emails very annoying. Especially the ones that say something will happen if you do send a certain amount. For ex: if you send this email to 20 people you will see the taco bell chiuhuaha dance across your screen. I would get lots of these from one person, doesn't that person realize after the first one, that it doesn't work?

| I hate those with a passion now. The first few, when I first got an email account, were okay, now it's worn way thin.

| IMHO the chain ones are a type of virus, so I don't forward them on any account I have. Also, it can be a way for people to get a lot of valid e-mail boxes for spamming.

| funny you should post that - I was getting ready to post about the same thing- sort of. I take notes for my Anatomy and Physiology class on my lap-top. When people are sick, I'll send them my notes. (I have a rule that I will only send them 2 or 3 times in a semester - I had someone take advantage of me typing the notes last sememster, and she decided she didn't need to come to class at all - anyway, I digress). So, I've sent them to a few people who now "Mass Mail" me all those cute little stories - usually religous themed or patriotic themed ones that spout things I don't agree with, or ones that tell me I'll be killing innocent people if I don't send it on to 25 of my "Closet friends" - heck, I don't have 25 friends, let alone close ones. Unless I count ya'll, and I really can't see me doing that. I'd get banned - plus, I'd be very, very embarrassed to have been part of that. |

| YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't stand them. Once in a while it's fine, but all the time? There's no need for it.

| I don't like those things either. My uncle is always forwarding me political stuff and that gets on my nerves too.

| Yeah, they can get annoying. Sometimes, if I like the 'message', I'll delete the "send to . . ." part.

| I dislike the chain letters and the prayers. This kind of email can be sent to my home address where I might have the time one day to actually read it.

| Most of the folks I'm close to at work feel the same way, so we don't send each other silly, time-consuming e-mails. My parents and Luke's though seem fascinated by them, but also don't seem to notice that we simply delete them without reading them. They have more time than we do, so I think it makes them feel in touch with others.

| I generally don't bother to open them and when I do I jsut delete them. I have someone who will send these chain letter ones... and the one you have to answer questions, One question might be ... who is least likely to fill this in and pass it on. and she will put my name and then still send it to me. argh!!

| Another one that's all for an uplifting note or joke here and there.......but the chain letters died to me a long time ago. I never fully understood why people would forward these things with everyone's e-mail addys in full view-did they not understand the privacy risk they were putting their so-called friends into? I always wanted to do my own mass-mailing that said "ever heard of blind carbon copy??!!" |

| I find that sort of thing very annoying. I seem to be a perfect person for all kinds of weird offers. It's odd, as my e-mail address clearly implies I'm not a man, but I still seem to get lots of offers aimed at men... ![]()
