Ok people! For the last time please keep your racist, political and other terribly un funny jokes (including blond jokes!!) out of my inbox here at work (well, anywhere, but especially here at work!). We’ve ALL heard the one where the Mexican shoots his glass because they are so abundant in his country and the American, Soldier, Redneck or whatever shoots the Mexican for the same reason. Wasn’t funny the first time, and it isn’t funny after a zillion washes.
If you’re going to send me emails that involve Rednecks, uptight Republicans, Dingy Blonds, Whimsical Old Farts, or anything that contains the words (in patriotic colors ) GOD BLESS AMERICA or animated kitten GIF’s…..just....don’t. Skip me.
I don’t care that you love this country so much you don’t want billboards in Spanish (no, I won’t sign your petition). I don’t need another email filled with unfunny comics of that old bag from the Hallmark commercials, telling me how tough it is being a woman and getting older. I doubt the depth of our friendship is measured by whether or not I forward your ‘Angels Among Us’ forward, complete with a crappy MIDI track that BLASTS out of my speakers when it shows up in my inbox. Obama is not a Muslim bent on destroying the US, ‘gay’ isn’t contagious, and your poem about abortion? Yea, I didn’t even bother reading past the subject line before I canned it. I support our troops as much as the next guy, but I don’t think I have to pass on an email with a picture of a flag to prove it. And blond jokes? C’mon.
I have my own opinions, and they may or may not reflect the opinions in your emails. I’m certainly not going to get into any of that here at work though. This is neither the time NOR the place....So no, you DON’T have my support.
Stop filling my inbox with your racists, sexist, classist and otherwise inappropriate for work crap.
Thank you.
