What to do?

[The Kizzy]

SO my ex sister in law sends me chain emails ALL THE TIME. and usually I don't care, and I just delete them before I read them, but then she gets insulted if I don't respond to the "prayer requests". I don't mean to sound crass, but I really don't care about a friend of a friend of a friend whose dog groomer's nephews girlfriends brother has decided that he was gay and needs to be prayed for. Its not my business, I don't care, I have a hard enouh time saying a nice word to the bitch who works in my department and her Dad is dying and she is in and out of work going to the hospital every day. I mean a real hard time because she is such a fucking cunt. I don't wanna pray for the girl who you work with whose cousin is having chemo next week. I mean, its sad that they are having chemo, but I have my own life and my own worries, and my own life threatening illnesses, and I still have to be a single mother to a 6 year old son, take care of a household, go to work full time, and still try to squeeze in my General Hospital. How do I politely tell her to please stop sending me chain emails. I don't mind an occasional, hey, heres recent pics of the kids, blah blah blah, everyone is fine, etc. Or do I just keep deleting them so I dont hurt any feelings?

Keep deleting them so you don't hurt anyone's feelings but if she calls you out on it and says "OMG WHY DIDN'T YOU PRAY FOR MY GARDENER'S UNCLE'S SISTER'S BABY DADDY'S GUATEMALEN ROOMATE WHO HAS STREP?!" then just explain that you've been having a hard time keeping up with everyone because of stuff going on in your life and that her and her people are always in your prayers.

[10sun]

Do what I do and create a bogus email account for family to send shit to.

I check it once a week if that and usually just to clear out inbox notifications.

[araby]

tell her I will pray for her friends.

[Phlegm]

Tell her God hates spammers and chain emailers.

[The Kizzy]

Adam, thats not a bad idea, thanks, Phlegm, that made me chuckle. Ashly, thanks

Quick forward this to her!!!!

Hello, my name is Basmati Kasaar. I am suffering from rare and deadly diseases, poor scores on final exams, extreme virginity, fear of being kidnapped and executed by anal electrocution, and guilt for not forwarding out 50 billion fucking chain letters sent to me by
People who actually believe that if you send them on, then that poor 6 year old girl in Arkansas with a breast on her forehead will be able to raise enough money to have it removed before her redneck parents sell
her off to the traveling freak show. Do you honestly believe that Bill Gates is going to give you and everyone you send "his" email to $1000? How stupid are you? Ooooh~ Looky here! If I scroll down this page and
make a wish, I'll get laid by every Playboy model in the magazine! What a bunch of bullshit. So basically, this message is a big FUCK YOU to all the people out there who have nothing better to do than to send me stupid chain mail forwards. Maybe the evil chain letter leprechauns will come into my apartment and sodomize me in my sleep for not continuing the chain which was started by Jesus in 5A.D.and was brought to this country by midget pilgrims on the Mayflower and if it makes it to the year 2000, It'll be in the Guinness Book of World Records for longest continuous streak of blatant stupidity. Fuck them. If you're going to forward something, at least send me something mildly amusing. I've seen all the "send this to 50 of your closest friends, and this poor, wretched excuse for a human being will somehow receive a nickel from some omniscient being" forwards about 90 times. I don't fucking care. Show a little intelligence and think about what you're actually contributing to by sending out forwards. Chances are it's your own
Unpopularity.

THE FOUR BASIC TYPES OF CHAIN LETTERS:
Chain Letter Type 1: (scroll down)

Make a wish!!!

*
No, really, go on and make one!!!
*
*
Oh please, they'll never go out with you!!! Wish something else!!!
*
*
Not that, you pervert!!
*

Is your finger getting tired yet?

STOP!!!!

Wasn't that fun? Hope you made a great wish Now, to make you feel guilty, here's what I'll do. First of all, if you don't send this to 5096 people in the next 5 seconds, you will be raped by a mad goat and thrown off a high building into a pile of manure. It's true! Because, THIS letter isn't like all of those fake ones, THIS one is TRUE!! Send this to 1 person: One person will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. Send this to 2-5 people: 2-5 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter. Send this to 5-10 people: 5-10 people will be pissed off at you for sending
them a stupid chain letter, and may form a plot on your life. Send this to 10-20 people: 10-20 people will be pissed off at you for sending them a stupid chain letter and will firebomb your house. Thanks!!!! Good Luck!!!

CHAIN LETTER - Type 2
Hello, and thank you for reading this letter. You see, there is a starving little boy in Baklaliviatatlaglooshen who has no arms, no legs, no parents, and no goats. This little boy's life could be saved,
because for every time you pass this on, a dollar will be donated to the Little Starving Legless Armless Goatless Boy from Baklaliviatatlaglooshen Fund. Oh, and remember, we have absolutely no way of counting the emails sent and this is all a complete load of bullshit. So go on, reach out. Send this to 5 people in the next 47 seconds. Oh, and a reminder - if you accidentally send this to 4 or 6 people, you will die instantly. Thanks again!!

CHAIN LETTER - Type 3
Hi there!! This chain letter has been in existence since 1897. This is
absolutely incredible because there was no email then and probably not as many sad pricks with nothing better to do. So this is how it works: Pass this on to 15,067 people in the next 7 minutes or something horrible will happen to you like:

Bizarre Horror Story #1
Miranda Pinsley was walking home from school on Saturday. She had recently received this letter and ignored it. She then tripped in a crack in the sidewalk, fell into the sewer, was gushed down a drainpipe in a flood of poopie, and went flying out over a waterfall. Not
only did she smell nasty, she died. This Could Happen To You!!!

Bizarre Horror Story #2
Dexter Bip, a 13 year old boy, got a chain letter in his mail ignored it. Later that day, he was hit by a car and so was his boyfriend (some people swing that way). They both died and went to hell and were cursed to eat adorable kittens every day for eternity. This Could Happen To You Too!!!

Remember, you could end up just like Pinsley and Bip. Just send this letter to all of your loser friends, and everything will be okay.

CHAIN LETTER - Type 4
As if you care, here is a poem that I wrote. Send it to everyone of your friends.

Friends, A friend is someone who is always at your side.
A friend is someone who likes you even though you stink of shit,
And your breath smells like you've been eating cat food
A friend is someone who likes you even though you're as ugly as a hat full of assholes
A friend is someone who cleans up for you after you've soiled yourself
A friend is someone who stays with you all night while you cry about your sad, sad life
A friend is someone who pretends they like you when
they really think you should be raped by mad chimpanzees, then thrown to vicious dogs
A friend is someone who scrubs your toilet, vacuums and then gets the check and leaves and doesn't speak much English...no, sorry that's the
cleaning lady,
A friend is not someone who sends you chain letters because he wants his wish of being rich to come true.

Now pass this on! If you don't, you'll never have sex ever again. The point being? If you get some chain letter that's threatening to leave
you shagless or luckless for the rest of your life, delete it. If it's funny, send it on. Don't piss people off by making them feel guilty about a leper in Botswana with no teeth, who's been tied to a dead
elephant for 27 years, whose only savior is the 5 cents per letter he'll receive if you forward this mail, Now forward this to everyone you know otherwise you'll have to look at me naked!

How do I politely tell her to please stop sending me chain emails. I don't mind an occasional, hey, heres recent pics of the kids, blah blah blah, everyone is fine, etc. Or do I just keep deleting them so I dont hurt any feelings?

why dont you just be honest and tell her these chain emails are total bullshit and you really dont want to get them?

[Jennay]

Sign her up for a bunch of services so she gets spam email from random companies

[kinghooter00]

Tell her God hates spammers and chain emailers.

Thats what i was thinking...
I hate chainmail and shit... I don't see the point...Big waste of time...

[Martrae]

I hate the 'WARNING' ones. They're all a bunch of BS but it's easier to hit forward than to check the facts.

I used to get a ton from my uncle until I started replying to each with a link to snopes. He finally got pissed and accused me of getting paid by snopes...but he did quit sending them.

[Darcler]

I've told my mom and my cousin to stop sending them, I dont like the spam caused from them and that I dont read them so its a waste of time.

[Evermore]

copy Darc's sig and sent it back to her on every one she sends you

[Trielelvan]

[Lionking]

I started replying to each with a link to snopes.

[Tacks]

I think you should send her to NT to get advice about chain letters and every other single unimportant and tiny event in her life.

[The Kizzy]

Who pissed in your cheerios? I think you are just jealous of my awesomeness. Here let me give you a hug. Don't squash my boobies please.

i used to do that to my ex-boss

i only had to do it twice though, either she took me off her list or she stopped sending them at all, and does it really matter which? nope
