Pet Peeve #666: Online proselytizing.
Almost every day at work, I get these stupid chain emails about god and babies and flowers and crap, where if you don't send them to 50 people in the next 5 seconds you will take the express train to hell and burn forever. The last straw was today, the email was about 9-11, and when I clicked on it, a slideshow came up, very touching photos of 9-11, but then it turned into a "god is watching you, footprints, Praise Jesus!" slideshow. It took like 5 minutes to complete & I couldn't X out of it.
If I worked for a big corporation of course my co-workers couldn't get away with this. Or maybe they could. Some of these emails originate from bigger companies. The funny thing is, none of my co-workers go to church, but this is the Bible Belt, and I work for a small "family" company so I would probably be shunned or fired if I complained. I should try wearing a pentacle to work & see what happens. Even if I sent around an email to my co-workers, asking them to please don't send me religious items, they would probably freak.
Dammit!
Anyway, thanks to all for the sweet & sexy comments lately. Happy weekend!

I get the same thing from my mother, and often from one of my more die-hard christian sisters. I usually just delete them if it is a mass-forward. If I missed anything really important I suppose they'd call. Well enjoy your weekend.

I hate that crap, mark it as spam. It sucks that you can't say what you really feel because people are so uptight about religion. but thats like they're forcing it on you. Like the jehovahs witnesses knocking on your door at dinner time.
