Actually, not buying gas on one day of the week won't do anything, because you will just buy the gas you need on another day. So, you'll still be putting the same amount of money into the pockets of the gas companies.

If you really want to make them cringe, then do more to conserve the gas you buy. IOW, buy less gas.

Stay home this weekend. Car pool. Take the bus. Walk to the neighborhood store. Take less grocery trips. Etc.

But yes, I've seen that email... hell... I can't even tell you how many times. That and the one about "hot slut teens take huge cock".

errr... or is it... "hot teen sluts take huge cock". :confused: Damn, I can't remember.
 
Here's a novel idea - take a fucking walk from time to time you fat lazy bastards. Get out of the SUV and smell the fucking roses. Sheesh, problem solved. :tardbang:
 
I have an idea . . . let's write an anti-chain-letter email, and at the end of the email, we can ask the recipient to forward it to at least thirty people. If each of them send it to at least ten more (30 x 10 = 300) and those 3200 send it to at least ten more (300 x 10 = 3,000)...and so on, by the time the message reaches the sixth generation of people, we will have reached over THREE MILLION people! If those three million get excited and pass this on to ten friends each, then 30 million people will have been contacted! If it goes one level further, you guessed it..... THREE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE!!!

Um, wait a second . . . :retard:

That is very very very sick. You are a very sick individual... we should start a chain email warning people that you are very sick and at the bottom, we should put an added message that he/she should send that email to everyone on their email list that they love and cherish.. to warn them about you being so sick... that way, no one that they love or cherish will fall victim to your sick... errr... stuff....
.....
...............crap! I'm sick. :dizzy:
 
I've written some nasty responses to some of my friends for crap like that. I don't get it forwarded to me anymore. Imagine that.
 
I've also asked my friends not to send me stuff like that... though in a polite tone. Unfortunately, I still get them from a few people. :eh:

lol! :rofl3:
I've got to try that one some day.
 
I'm sorry to say, that when I was younger, and more gullible, that I fell for one of them - one of those virus ones, which is just mean, if you're an internet newbie, which I was at the time. Still, the BF can laugh about it now, how I forwarded the chain-email to everyone in his directory: Lecturers, IT people, colleagues, friends...... :blush: :rofl3:

Funny enough, I also asked my friends not to send me stuff like that. But I seem to recall adding something about Molotov cocktails and 2X4s. But I used a polite tone.

I still do that, every time I get one, suddenly I only get from one or two hardcore cases, but I used to reply to them with pictures from rotten.com, and they stopped too

I still get those damn emails. I've sent the snopes thing numerous times but still receive them. I think the ones I've seen the most is about the children, one with cancer or something and they need help, the lost child, etc. That thing has been going around for about 10 years. Are people just that stupid?!! Actually, they must be.
