I love receiving emails that are jokes that are:
1.) funny
2.) New: that I haven't read before
3.) literally make me cry because they are so funny...
4.) are not sickening to read or ruin my day once I've read them...
But at some point, the people who constantly email me 100 times a day with joke mail, it actually becomes spam mail to me at least. If I am my pc at the time of the email being sent, then its great, I can open, read and load all the wonderful and sometimes very weird pictures that you have sent me but at other times, like for example over the weekend, I see them initally on my blackberry and can't always see the pictures properly for many reasons, one being that the pictures do not always load or you can't see them because of the size of the screen. And constantly when I look at my phone I see that tiny red dot flashing away at me and I somehow initially think that someone wants to get hold of me, but its just you, again sending on jokes, like you always do.
Now I know there are many solutions to this problem, change my email address on my Blackberry, mark you as spam, ask you nicely not to send these mails to me but I don't want to do any of the above. I only want to do the above when you send me horrifying and terrible imagery that in some cases makes my stomach turn and I have a strange urge after reading your mail that I want to throw up....
I understand that shocking things are happening all over the world and we all need to be aware of it, but I don't want to see it on my work email, if I want to see that stuff I will log onto news24, or switch on sky news, or I dunno - read the newspaper?
I've been guilty of spamming some of my friends mail boxes, but at the end of the day I don't do it as much as mine is spammed daily. Maybe we all need to think before we hit forward? I mean we all need to work sometimes don't we? Why don't you start to do some work today instead of forwarding me rubbish that has been going around cyber space for years! I have been going on the internet daily since I was probably 11 years old.... Lets not forward EVERY email we receive.
I challenge you today :) Lets see if you can do it!
