Those F*@kin annoying pass this on emails

Gillo

Right looking for a bit of advice here please.

You know those annoying email that if you send on to twenty people your wish will come true or email with some vaguely funny picture or story. Yeah that's it the one's which people you know send you not just some random company trying to sell me viagra.

Anyway, I'm careful about giving me email address out so I generally don't get these, anyhow a person I used to work with keeps sending me all shorts or sh!t. The funny thing is we didn't really get on when we worked together so why she feels the need to keep in touch by sending me random emails is beyond me.
Now normally I'd send her a firm but polite email telling her to f*@k right off, she's had a hard time the last year, she quit her job to move away and was pregnant at the time, first the whole immigration thing went tit's up, then she lost the baby, both herself and her fella had a hard time trying to find a new job and from what I've heard he now spends a hell of a lot of time in the pub. (proof that sending chain emails to twenty plus people will bring you good luck). So as a result of having a pretty hard year I'd like to be nice about blocking her emails.

Any idea's on how to tactfully tell her to leave me alone.

set up a filter to auto-trash them?

edit: like trash everything from her except for when you're the only person it's being sent to.

Thanks but I'm using a .mac account and there doesn't seem to be an option to do it.

Lookign for funny idea's

Everytime she sends you an email, reply with a shock image like goatse or tub-girl.
Needless to say, looking at such images in work will get you in trouble, so don't do it from there, if possible.

delete them?

Rhyme

Bounce those emails back to her and see what happens.

You're probably just on her mailing list. Despite being male and straight I get naked men, firemen calendars and "forever friends" ****e on a too- regular basis on me work e-mail.

Where's the fun in that?

I remember there was an email I got ages ago which took the micky out of those kind of emails. I'd love to get it again and forward it to everyone who sends me emails like that, although i rarely get them.

I was just thinking the same thing.

You kids know nothing of the annoying pain of getting a chain letter in the post. It asks you to send it on the 20 people and you have to buy envelopes, paper, photocopier, printer and a stamp to send it on otherwise you may die and then pick 20 friends to p*ss off.

:mad:

I used to get chain letters in the post

I didn't send them
rebel!
got appalled looks for it though but seriously...

I hope you counteracted that failure by saying "good morning mr magpie" everytime you see a magpie just in case the devil in on this earth in disguise.

Hit the delete button on your keyboard...

Wouldn't bother replying or sending any emails to her, she will probably think you want to keep receiving emails from her.

I just make an account for spam and one for proper use

S.I.R

" with my workout program me you can eat 7 big macs in 7 weeks "


i just reply to the email with a revamped version of that sentence... or whatever sentence it is

Mike 1972

Surely email programs would by now have included a filter to block all mails with more than a specified number of consecutive ">>>>>"'s or the text string "Please pass this on to both of your friends"

Problem solved !

You know whats so annoying.. Couriers who say they attempted delivery when they didn't.

FCUK YOU INTERLINK IF YOU THINK I'M GOING OUT TO SWORDS TO COLLECT THAT PACKAGE FROM YOUR DEPOT!!

I'd rather send it back to the sender and do a chargeback on my credit card. That'll teach them for using ****ty couriers.

Also i need to start putting in my work address for deliveries. Try say my work address doesn't exisit DHL/UPS/Interlink :mad:

bobbbb

I keep a folder with all of those emails. I have hundreds of them now.

Every time i get one now i forward the whole feckin folder full of them right back to the person who sent the latest one.

I never get another from that person.

If someone sent me one of those emails I would personally hunt them down and rip off their penis and feed it to them.

And what if they are female? I see a small flaw in your plan.

That's just silly.

You don't rip of your penis and feed it to her. Instead you ignore the ripping part and force feed her the penis, while saying "OMG! take it deep"
