Idiotic mail...

[Rayadragon]

Two recent favorites.

The IRS who were not the IRS contacting me that I had an extra refund I didn't claim. The link in the email definatly did not go to the IRS homepage. It also so happens that I didn't use that particular email while filing my taxes.

Along the lines of the Nigerean scam, though more definatly like the Spanish prisoner scam, was the kind british/american soldier (can't remember which) who wanted money to help get out so he could inform the proper authorities about all the horrible torture/medical experiments/prostitution of children/danger to the environment/nuclear tests/overgrown toenails/bad cafeteria food/etc that was happening in Iraq/Iran/Some other country like that (though apparently this was all happening with USA directives). Said letter included almost all of the issues listed and went on for around 4 pages. Said letter was clearly not written by someone who was a primary speaker of the english language.

We were at each other's throats constantly. I was too hyper (not like that's changed though) and because I had the gall to tell her that pi was NOT "exactly twenty-two sevenths", and she retaliated by giving me a 0 on a test for writing in black ink (like five other students whom she didn't give zeros) instead of pencil, always looking for excuses to yell at me, etc.
After the year was over I got an email repeating a lecture she'd given me in the hallway:
1. That I was stupid.
2. That I was lazy.
3. That I would never amount to anything in life.
4. That I didn't "know my place".
...and such. Not that I cared anymore what SHE thought. If she had failed me rather than given me a D she would have had me in her class again and then I would have acted deliberately worse than before.

Wow, it's been a while since anyone wrote here.

Now, NONE of us attending college would like to receive a letter informing that tuition has gone up again. But when I received such a letter from some place called Full Sail in Orlando, Florida, I felt not apprehension as one might think... but puzzlement.

...Because I am not a student at Full Sail! Actually this is the first I've heard of it. Yes, that's correct. A college that I don't attend and have never heard of has just sent me a notice saying my tuition has gone up. I wonder what they'll do if I don't pay--kick me out?

hey what if it's not actually the teacher but you? i mean someone angry or bitter against someone else could either exagerrate or make up something,
called slander. in this case in a forum, called libel. (yes libel, not label)
i mean i get mad at my brother and even resorted in spreading rumors like he farts 24 7, eats his boogers, or... or.... eat boogers!
the point is, if youre mad at your teacher, isnt it likely you exaggerated something? like that part you said the teacher didnt give someone else a zero for writing in ink or trying to find excuses to nip at your heels?
that "trying to find excuses" slander is basically the oldest trick in the book.
the same way typical teenagers say "thair parents are ruining their lives"
while theyre actually saving it by cutting back on the phone bills, video game hours, and more studytime.

I get these emails about 3 times a month.

From: (some person, always different) To: S

Subject: Good day (always)

Message: (a link to some profile which I never dare to click)

This has been going on for some months and they are very annoying.
