do you ever get certain emails that you leave unclicked for hours - GoFuckYourself.com

quiet · 11-26-2004, 01:49 AM

skipping over them, because you are nervous about what they might contain?

virus or personal info?

Jakke PNG · 11-26-2004, 01:52 AM

No. I have nothing exciting coming to my inbox, ever.
However I try to leave the invoices unclicked, but my better side has them paid as soon as they arrive

Love Brokers · 11-26-2004, 02:11 AM

No...........I just delete the fucks that I don't recognize.........

xclusive · 11-26-2004, 02:15 AM

Yeah i'm really bad about that but oh welll I eventually clean out my mail box every day...

Satisfaction · 11-26-2004, 02:27 AM

or even days without clicking them..

fuzebox · 11-26-2004, 02:31 AM

I do that with voicemail sometimes

Goatse · 11-26-2004, 02:32 AM

Yeah. There's a girl I used to correspond with, on and off for several years, who recently sent me an e-mail after a long period of silence. I just can't find the courage to read it. I'm not sure why... fear of pain, fear of disappointment?

there's no fear in a gunshot, only in the anticipation of it.

Since last Sunday, November 21st. I have a feeling she has a boyfriend and I really can't deal with another dream going down the drain.

sickkittens · 11-26-2004, 09:50 PM

I usually do this with bills. ;)

frankfortuna · 11-26-2004, 09:53 PM

I've even taken it a step further. On a few occasions, I've turned my head and clicked delete before the message preview has a chance to display.

slapass · 11-26-2004, 10:03 PM

I do this all the time. I doubt it is healthy but avoidance is not the worst thing.

2HousePlague · 11-26-2004, 10:05 PM

Who it's from has everything to do with it. Some people always say or want the same thing -- so you don't even have to read their e-mails. Some people just don't matter -- so you don't ever have to read those, except when you want to remind yourself why they don't matter. And then there are the ones to which I always give my first attention -- specifically BECAUSE they make me nervous.

yup the ones i get from the stepson of the prime minister of nigeria, and recently all of the citibank/wells fargo ones

Babagirls · 11-26-2004, 11:08 PM

not becuase im nervous, just because i dont know who its from and probably dont care to find out (might be spam). so it just sits there for a while lol

- Jesus Christ - · 11-26-2004, 11:11 PM

Somtimes I don't even answer the door.

*shifty eyes*

Steen2 · 11-26-2004, 11:17 PM

Yes, when it's something important that I've been waiting for a decision on, I get nervous about opening it, so I leave it as the last email to deal with.

WiredGuy · 11-26-2004, 11:21 PM

The ones that typically have a subject line, "you are infringing on..." or "contact us immediately..." type emails I ignore for a little bit

KRL · 11-27-2004, 01:01 AM

I'm using Mozilla's Thunderbird. Latest version is 0.9 and it is sweet!

The adaptive junk filter works flawlessly so far.

Highly recommend this e-mail client if you want to try something new besides Outlook.

I finally opened it and I was right. There's another guy and she's madly in love. Yet another step on the road to misery for yours truly. Now I'm trying to resist the urge to reply... "So all of our plans meant nothing to you? You just used me to boost your ego?" But hopefully the sweet sound of silence will prevail.

Now now WG, you don't infringe on trademark rights by targeting them or using them in your meta-tags/titles, do you?

ytcracker · 11-27-2004, 01:31 AM

sometimes i do it just so i know ill have something to read later when im pooping using my wireless laptop

Varius · 11-27-2004, 01:32 AM

I use IMP so I'm never worried about viruses

The only emails I just delete without opening are all these damn ccbill 'a subscription has been processed for your site' emails.....They just don't seem to end

Really though, I open and reply to my emails as soon as I get them usually. I can't stand people who don't do the same, and take days to reply to me.

i know exactly how you feel. definitely the best thing is to go the silence route, but i also know just how tough that is.

beemk · 11-27-2004, 06:47 AM

only when its a task i have to finish still that i plan on finishing later that day. i keep it as new until its done so i wont forget about it.

kmanrox · 11-27-2004, 06:48 AM

not because im nervous, but because im lazy and i KNOW when one of those emails is gonna require me to lift a finger and i'll let them sit for a day or two until i get the sporatic wind of 'get off your ass, K-Man'... and then i open them...
