I have a friend younger than me who does this - she's been on the internet for years and should freaking know better. I just junk all her emails, so if she ever sends me somehting important, she's a bit stuffed.

This is resonating with me thanks to my mum's partner using her email account to send me annoying quantities of forwarded 'hilarious' emails.

A colleague of mine from my previous job still sends me forwarded junk - and apparently forwards them to everyone on her contact list. Why would anyone do this?! I felt bad at first about junking her mail just in case she wants to keep in touch (we got along well when I was working there) but then it just got too annoying.

My mom's boyf is a total NASCAR douchebag (and is in fact the son of a NASCAR driver) and therefore channels Bill O'Reilly. He spammed me with wingnutganda until I issued a cease and desist on that bullshit. I cannot bear to think what he must be reading up on for this election cycle.

Home Security I've disconnected my home alarm system and de-registered from the Neighborhood Watch. I've got two Pakistani flags raised in the front yard, one at each corner, and the black flag of ISIS in the center. The local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching the house 24/7. I've never felt safer ... and I'm saving $49.95 a month!
