Oh My Goodness.
Chain mail. You’d think that if you got 70 emails, out of that 70 there’d be atleast 1 email that was just to say hi or something? But no. bleh.
You know, i had 70 emails in my inbox just then. The majority were from facebook telling me that i had 50+ people requesting to be my friend (yes, facebook. I haven’t been on in approximately 5 months:)) and then there was the chain mail. Oh gosh the chainmail! D:
about 50 of those 70 emails were chain mail. Actually some of it was quite interesting like that ‘footprints in the sand’ story
but the rest was like… a cool story and then; dun dun dun
Actually depending on the story you’ll get pretty different answers.
- If you don’t send this to so and so people(the number varies depending on if the chainmail creator is experienced or not) you’ll have a bad love life for so and so years.
- If you don’t send this to so and so people by something pm bloody mary is going to come up from under your bed and kill you.
- If you don’t send this to so and so people, I’ll just assume you’re not a follower of christ.
And the list just goes on and on. Sometimes it’s pretty rediculous stuff. Sometimes its funny stuff. And then with some there’s the warning before the message: it goes something like this:
This is totally true. Some people thought it was fake and deleted it and one morning they were found dead in their apartment. Cause of death: unnatural.
Take so and so for example they thought it was just another chain mail and deleted it. The next month they were found rotting in their cupboard, hands bound and face covered in writing with ‘bloody mary’.
Yes, ridiculous. It’s kind of interesting though. Seeing all the threats people come up with. I remember when i was younger, I actually believed that stuff. And I would actually forward it, in hopes that my love life wouldn’t go bad, or msn wouldn’t kill my email, or someone wouldn’t kill me. Now I’m happy to say, I’m not as naive as i once was (praise god) and i am smart enough to simply delete.
Or if i am particularly scared of it saying in the email ‘so and so deleted and died’ ill simply, check the box and click ‘mark as read’ so then i havent technically ‘deleted’ it so i won’t be killed.
So we’re all happy!
