A friend calls you at home one evening. She tells you that she received a chain letter email on a topic that both of you are very interested in and she forwarded it to your work email address.
Your friend asks you to read the email when you return to work, and to please forward the email to ten other people to help keep the email chain growing.
What should you do?
- Run to work, open the email, and forward it to ten people because, like your friend, you too are a complete idiot.
- Find out what the message is about, read it the next day, then forward it to your mom and your brother cuz they would find it interesting too.
- Hang up the phone and defriend the person immediately, you don't need anyone that stupid in your social network.
- Tell your friend that you would rather have her send this to your personal email address and also that you check your email constantly, so there is no need to call you to announce that an email has been sent. Then check the calendar to make sure that you have not gone through a time warp back to the year 1996.
I would probably do number 4, but be very tempted to choose 3.

My dad and uncle have recently discovered the "joy" of email forwards...lame jokes, crappy videos, stupid links, the like. Every time I get one, I feel like it's 1999 all over again, except that back then our computers would have died trying to stream YouTube. Remember how opening a PDF was a struggle back then? :)
LOL! I didn't realize anybody under the age of 40 still did email forwards.
