It’s like that creepy uncle that follows your sister around…only worse

Despite desperate pleas to my extended family to STOP sending me those annoying forwards (most specifically e-mails threatening death if I don’t forward them on to some ridiculous amount of people), my dearest kinfolk still manage to spam my inbox almost every day.
