What's the etiquette on chain letters (e-mails)?
my closest friend always sends me emails that go, add your own whatever, in this case astrological sign, then it goes on to say this is really true, I saw how this worked on Chris Angel (!) and then it says if you don’t forward it to like 12 other people you will have a really bad morning and it will only get worse. All the people I know are at work and would get pissed If I sent them stuff like this, and I myself find it annoying. I looked at the list of all the people in the address line and assume they are at work, these people are adults! and some have really good jobs, I don’t get it? I replied “chainmails are a no-no” and now I feel bad-

I’m not sure what the question actually is..
But chain mail is annoying.
Unless it’s on a knight. omgthatkindissocool.
Ignore them or they spread! which i guess is the idea!! but still ignore them
i normally repply with “send $500 to this paypal account before the next five days or everything and everyone you love will die a horrible death”
Delete all chain letters.
@rangerr I guess the question is, is it rude to tell someone not to send you chainmails even if its a really good friend?
@trailsillustrated I’d say no. If they are a good friend, they should understand how annoying it can be if you explain it.
Chain mail (of this variation) is retarded. It goes in the circular filing cabinet along with trolls and spam.
More to the point, is it rude to send chainmail to really good friends?
Delete.
I think it is fine to tell your friend you don’t want any chain emails.
Yes, I tell me friends not to send those. 99.999% have respected my wishes. Frankly, sending me these is not “keeping up with me”, especially when I see addresses it’s been forwarded from since 1996.
No PowerPoint slide presentations with photos of butterflies, buttercups, cheesy MIDI music and poems in Script font about how much God loves me and how Jesus was carrying me in his arms, and that’s why only the one set of footprints on the beach.
And no more “warnings” about how exotic bug larvae might be hiding in my bra when I come back from South America who will embed themselves in my boobies and dig holes in the milk ducts, with a Photoshopped mash-up of a healthy boob and a pod plant, as the dubious “proof”. Though I will admit that when I didn’t realize what I was looking at, I screamed when I first saw it. I sent the sender the Snopes page where it’s not only proves that it’s a fake, but shows what such a invasive scenario really looks like. In video.
I ignore them. People have stopped sending them so often since I have never responded to them in my life.
@aprilsimnel HAHA I never got the boob one but I’ve seen it, but the poems and butterflies and cute cats and doggies and jesus powerpoint things, yes! usually from the same friend gag
