When I created my first email account, little did I know it would become an obsession.  I didn’t know anyone when I first got on the net and I joined a bunch of email lists just to meet some new people. I love getting email. It’s the ads I find in my inbox that just kill me.

  • “You have been approved for a new Capital One Credit Card!” No I haven’t. I live in Canada and trust me, Capital One is not in this country!!!
  • “Would you like a bigger penis?” Um, no. I don’t even HAVE one! (unless you count the one in my drawer..) Alternately, my husband gets the ads for bigger breasts!
  • “Click here to get your FREE CD/DVD/Video game!” after the shipping (in US prices) and the duty charge I have to pay that the post office, I might as well just go down the street Future Shop or Best Buy.
  • “SEE NAKED GIRLS!!!” I do that every day when I’m getting dressed.
  • “SLUTS WITH THEIR DOGS!” Ok, I’ll click the link, but only because I wanna see if the girls are the real dogs.
  •  “Buy Viagra Cheap!” Do I even have to say anything about this???
  • “Make her beg for more!” Who? I don’t have a girl on the side, and I sure don’t need anything like that.
  •  “You won a FREE DVD!” Oh yeah? If you were able to get my email address you can find my home address! Just drop it off to me and leave my email alone!
  • “Are you tired of the bars? Would you like to meet attractive people?” Who screens these ads? I don’t have a problem with these companies sending out an email to me, but could they NOT insult my intelligence with something like that line! Something better would be “Are you horny? Meet other horny people at…”

I’m still trying to figure out how it is that I still get SPAMMED but the people I want to get an email from call me on the phone saying “I tried to email you but it bounced!”
