What My Inbox Looks Like

Around 80% of my inbox looks like this:

Click to enlarge and get the whole point

I don't really mind the fun forwards (yeah, people still do that) because sometimes when you're bored you do want to look at angels descending from the sky or a zucchini giving birth to a giraffe, maybe strengthen your faith by reading ahadeeth that the Prophet (peace be upon him) never said... no seriously, some of them are fun (the first time, not the 15th) and I do enjoy looking at dresses or shoes.

But come on!!!

* Note: the Haifa email also applies to Nancy Ajram's childhood photos and images from Sabah's 103rd birthday

UPDATE: I made up everything in this image, please don't boycott Sha3rawi gum & support local products and everything that they sell you at the traffic light.

One, You have diaspora open. Yay!

Two, I never knew you're a wiki-reader. :O

Three, you're a gmail-er. Double Yay! :D

God Bless filters! I have several e-mails. I leave the hotmail for people from the past. (i.e. Ones who still forward messages) And I NEVER Check that one. :D (but they don't know)

I have filters! Millions and millions of filters.

Gmail is awesome. :D

And oh my god! Yourstruly @ gmail. com is one heck of a cool domain! :D ;p

1. I opened these specific tabs to show what is usually up there in my browser! :D

2. I believe Wikipedia is the reason they invented tabbed browsing, I keep going from tab to tab. Obsessed!

3. I'm also a Hotmailer, but that one is for messages like these, I don't receive forwards on my gmail but I made this image because it's easier to edit here hehe

And don't go mailing me on yourstruly@gmail.com! I just put that there because I don't wanna give out my email :) :p

hehe, it was a better idea to simply 'blur' your real email, I think yourstruly@gmail.com received tons of emails by now !!

Okay, I am interested now to know what is wrong with Sha'rawi's gum. Why the boycott? Please read the email and tell me, tell me.
Do people still send FW emails?
Beside my uncle who is officially my email spammer, I rarely receive FW emails. Every FW email I receive from my uncle has 200 plus names from previous senders or receipts. Who ever taught my uncle how to use email told him that whenever he receives an email he should forward it directly to as many people as possible or else...

Loooooooooool Jaraad, I made up the email titles and none of them is actually real, they're just similar to what I usually receive fa don't worry, keep on chewing that Sha3rawi, oh no, you think they might sue me? Oh I should put a note!

Aren't old people's email the most adorable? Moms, dads and uncles go nuts when they discover the forward button, and it's usually like 5 years old but I read them anyway, they're so sweet sending emails like this! Ba7zan :(

Wow, although all look something like any forward email. Well done! You have potential to start your own fake emails :) I have not gummed Sharawi for more than 15 years but I was curious about this particular email.

Rand..commenting on your blog may be hard for a Syrian, yet always a delight.

I chuckle that I'm one of the rare people that get the Jeanne of Valois reference ;)
