I work in IT so I spend all say on a computer. I have gained a couple of things as a result of this (other than my bad eyes, radiation poisoning and low sperm count) A healthy online list of people.
Some of them are my little sisters friends, then you've got work colleagues, business contacts, friends, family and shed-loads of random people. I mentioned my sisters friends first because they are the ones who send me the worst type of e-mails, worse than spam, after all you can just delete spam.
Yes you've got it, e-mail forwards; spam is easy, press delete! With an e-mail forward you find yourself reading it just to see if you've read it before, invariably they'll have some crappy moral or a survey or something funny in a bid to get you to send it to all your friends. However some of them can trick you into thinking that Microsoft is tracking the e-mail and will give you $5 dollars if you send it to 100 people with validation at the bottom telling you all the stories that people had added about how well it works. The reason these ones work is because they play on the 'Well what harm could it do' part of your brain.
Well here's what harm it can do..
THEY CAN PISS ME OFF!!!
And how the hell did their stories get onto the e-mail if you only get the money after you've sent it on. Are you telling me that you sent it out to another 100 people to get the money again, you greedy bastard.
The one I got today had some lucky blue man or something. I had to send it on 8 or more times to be lucky, and if you get it back you know that you're lucky...
How the fuck would you be lucky, if you get it back form 8 people to stay lucky your going to have to send it out another 64 times, even if you sent it to all the people that sent it to you your going to have to send it out to 56 different people and pray to god that they don't all send it back or that's 512 people your going to have to send it out to.
Shit what's this in my inbox another e-mail forward.... Fuck I have to send this one out to 10 people to stay lucky...
"MUUUUMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!!!"
The sodding things are just a way of getting a list of e-mail addresses to spam to Bastards.
Fuck all that shit, it's a good job I'm not superstitious; I'll take my Bad luck to go please.

That's not the worst of it. Some distant family member I hardly know got a hold of my email address once. She must've been chronically bored at work, because she flooded my inbox with retarded forwards. And not just any forwards. Oh no, IMAGES! Megabytes upon megabytes of bitmaps.
You haven't lived until you've waited for Outlook to download a couple megabytes worth of email to your hard drive. Let me tell you: POP3 was NOT intended for that kind of data-transfer.

I had American Fiance, who broke my heart evil wench, she liked to think of herself as really intelligent, cultured and worldly wise. Months afterwards she included my sister on the list of the get free money from Microsoft thing. Goes to show.

I reply to the sender with a reasonably sacastic tone explaining they have more chance of winning the lottery, and asking patronisingly if they really really think they will get money for sending on an email.
Then they never send them to me again.
Failing that. I stab them in the arse.
