My Aunt and her chain emails

Posted by Hilander , 21 July 2011 · 90 views

I got yet another chain email from my aunt, the same one that told me that seeing the ghost of my cat is the devil.  I have told her more than once not to do that, yet she ignores me.  She is giving my email address out to people I don't even know.  Why do people do that?  You tell them something they are doing bothers you and you want them to stop but they keep on doing it.  I really don't know what to do.  I know if she wasn't my aunt I would change my email address and never give it to her again.  I have to be honest I would rather she emailed me than call me.  I hate talking to her on the phone.  She is always talking about someone, religion or prying into your personal business.  I'll tell you something else she did that really peed me off.  

Several years ago when my grandmother had a heart attack in her apartment she said "she always does something when I'm getting ready to go somewhere".  I looked at her and I said "I'm sure grandma didn't have a heart attack just to inconvenience you ".  I loved my grandmother dearly and I could of slapped her silly.  When I was about 12 I thought my grandfather was going to hit my grandmother and I stood up with my fists doubled and challenged him, he backed down, the Irish comes out in me sometimes. I was already bigger than him, not fat, tall and pretty much a tom boy.  I don't want you to get the wrong opinion of me.  I'm very feminine,most of the time and I never get into fights, unless you count throwing rocks at cows, just didn't want to see my grandmother abused.

Now that I have got that off my chest.  My aunt isn't all bad, she will help someone in need.  I'll never ask her for anything though.




I'm with you on all points here. I tried to kick an aunt out the door one time because she came storming over to confront my parents about something. And - I have aunts who sent stupid forwards too. Sheesh, seriously, it's as annoying as when I used to go on MSN messenger, and just about every teenager in my contact list didn't use a nice, short identifier, but they always put their current life soap opera drama in their handle, or quotes from their favourite song etc. Very annoying when using a screen-reader.

But as for the chain letters - not that it'll do much good, but it's worth a try anyway, you might want to point your aunt to this article, if necessary, put "fwd: fwd: fwd: Re: Please Read, IMPORTANT in the subject line and then another urging in the message body to go to:

I've come to the cold, hard, sad realization that so many people who are addicted to chain letters, will follow whatever the chain tells them to, but they have absolutely no problem denying personal requests from their contacts, and often can't even be bothered sending anything unless it's a fwd that has yanked their emotions enough to get them forwarding. Argh!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will try it.  I think when people keep doing things they know you don't like shows they have no respect for you or how you feel.  I don't think they realize or don't want to that you will end up having none for them.
