I'm used to spam mail. Even with a super secret email account, I still get loads of it. Those suckers don't quit until they have invaded your private virtual mailbox!
I usually ignore it until one in particular caught my eye. The title: How to Rob a Bank Legally. I was immediately amused and then my amusement transformed into annoyance:
1. Why email me? I'm no financer. I am a bleeping intern, man.
2. Wow! I soooo believe that you can make me instantaneously wealthy. Your poor grammar and "I'm just a hard-working man trying to raise his family of 6" plea soooo touched my heart. NOT.
3. Because the words ROB and LEGAL are synonyms. You are so right. Let's do this the "legal" way.
Anyway, after pulsing with laughter mixed with slight rage I sent that email all the way to trashcan purgatory. And that was the end of my potential legal criminal ways.
What is the most random piece of spam you've ever received? Does spam annoy you or you just indifferent to it at this point? Do share because I love good, obnoxious spam stories!

I don't usually get spam, but my favorite has been the one that says something along the lines of "ENLARGE YOUR PENIS SIX INCHES!". Really? I wasn't aware that I had a penis. Thanks for telling me. Sorry I don't have anything really good, though.
@PlainXJane@xanga - I actually have a penis and I'm just as annoyed by that ads as you. They make up 90% of my inbox spam.
Most of my spam is the lovely emails claiming I've won something. Though I don't get much anymore because my email has a good spam filter. I do have it set up to save it in a spam folder for 2 days in case something important got sent there by mistake, but I never look in the folder, lol.
spam scares me :D i'm always afraid they'll contain viruses so i never open them. but the ones that creep me out are the ones where the subject is "FrEE ViAGRA!!1!" or something. eesh. that was a good one, though!
I get a ton of spam in my email; the ones I get the most often? "Please your girlfriend, add a few inches!" "Pregnant?" "Increase your length by taking ONE PILL A MONTH!" etcetc. Primarily the penis thing. I wouldn't even consider their spam-mail if I had a penis.
I get "tips on how to pick up ladies" and "penis enhancers" and all sorts of guy stuff haha
I dont get spam at all, thanks to an email address with an awesome spam filter. www.breakthru.com
but when i used to use hotmail, i got messages like "YOU HAVE JUST WON 1000000 DOLLARS" or retarded crap like that! gets annoying after a while so i switchedÂ
The sad part is that people fall for that...
hahaha you should visit spamusement, it's a website where they transform spam subject lines into comics. it's freakin HILARIOUS.
@Apologyze@xanga - good to know!
