Stupid chain emails from people at work

Fed up with chain e-mails

Chain E-Mail

Okay, hands up all of you who have NOT ever received one of these stupid hoax or urban legend type emails, or one of the circular chain e-mails that go around the office. I'm willing to bet there aren't many of you.



I'm fed up with people sending me these stupid hoax, friendship and chain e-mails. Have they got nothing better to do? It’s not difficult to spot an urban legend, so why do they forward this junk on?

27-9-2007Chain e-mails are a pain in the bum, but worse still are those phishing emails that are growing in popularity, or the ones that ask you to send money to Nigeria. As if we're going to fall for that one. Don't these people have anything better to do?Moffat

25-4-2006Chain e-mails, hoaxes and all that stuff are a feature of life these days. Live with it and do your best to avoid it. I generally junk any mail that I don't recognise or that has suspect subject lineMatt
18-4-2006Yeah why do people do this? they must be bored or very stupid. Do you really think that your love life will increase 450 million % by sending this on? Why cant people really just get a life?Dave Bridgen
