I hate it even more when I get the same one multiple times because one person sent it to a bunch of people and then some of those people sends it to me and then a few others get it and send it to me...it's like they don't think I got it the first time, or the second time, or the third time!!! _________________ ...WHALE

Hate the ones that get sent to me on the cell phone. Especially the sick ones, or sexual ones... Not that I'm a prude, but friggin A, just a bit much at times... _________________ Still grateful.

I've never been involved with a chain letter, so I can't say whether they suck or not. Probably not my thing though. I'm not much of a writer. _________________ Those who speak, don't know.

I hate the things. I've been known to block people because of them

odd that you make this thread strapples, i was thinking of coming up with this one if my aunt sends me ONE MORE STUPID FOWARD. ok, my aunt, shes a repeat offender of my please-no-fowards rule. when she started i politely told her in and email to please do not email me with these things, just important stuff and if its a picture. better be something from YOUR camera.(not a saved-to-the-computer image from a foward)
2 weeks ago she commit the offense, she sends stuff to my gmail account and she sent "attachments" (well nothing but big white squares) i questioned her and she said ohh, was suppose to be some cute pictures) (chezzburgrz katz maybe, or angels or some random photoshopped spread-over-the-internet picture???)
i suspect that she may be nt but understands some aspie traits, and by seeing her past habits of the fowards and pics it can be from the innocent cat image to something like religious or angel orianted, i mean IM NOT INTERESTED IN SEEING the little religious stuff or scriptures or random blabbing about obama or sarah palin or roses.
her conversation, birthday and christmas cards as well as taking me to a restaurant i like is welcome, but the spamming and random stupid email stuff isnt. I do also get those rumurs like product recalls and urban legends (she believes them all are true, i look them up and send her back the trueth about them)
i have thought about blocking her but email is the only way we interact,
when i still had aol, i had dozens and dozens of friends sending things like friendship certificates and hug certificates such as the "today is national friendshp day, pass this on" this eveuntally ended with me telling the senders to just remove me from their address books or putting me in a differant spot of it so i dont get clicked during their hyper hyper must-pass-it-on rush.
sorry about the aunt rant, but yea, I HATE fowards and relative/family/friend spam _________________ <<"norton" antivirus

I like chain letters but only if they are witty.
My mom is a chain letters curse believer though She believes if you don't send received letters back, something terrible is going to happen to you. Few years ago she got by post such a letter with a note she must make 20 copies of it and send it to the next 20 people, otherwise she's going to have bad luck. If memory serves me well, it was nothing else than the famous Craig Shergold letter (poor, now healthy Craig is probably fed up with the whole issue and gets nausea while just thinking of postcards ).
Mother followed the instruction and when our cousin visited us one day, mom handed her in those twenty letters addressed to her twenty friends, telling this cousin to put them all in a mail box. Cousin was going to simply put them in a more appropriate place - a litter-bin in front of our house instead but when I saw mother was observing through the window in her bedroom if she was going to do what she was told, I started to give my cousin signals through my window not to do it. I don't remember how it finished but the letters were sent. I wonder if people who got them were so naive too _________________ http://nitocris1.livejournal.com

Except for such people like my mom Lol, I still wonder if her friends' reactions when they got her letters were similar to hers And if so, if those friends' friends also sent letters to their friends And so on _________________ http://nitocris1.livejournal.com
