Right, I was boozing it up last week at my local and was stood outside having a cigerette. I saw this huge, ginourmous evil looking spider running along the wall towards a fit girl and her mother. being of the chivalrous sort, I told the fair damsels that they were in distress, hence much screaming and I dont want to hear that when im having my fag.

Anyway, the fit one starts going on about how these cactus from Mexico are being imported with loads of spiders inside them. I reminded her that it was a huge joke, but then she got me with the killer line. Remember shes a chav, so imagine her saying this in a right common Leeds accent(and our own resident chav might recognise it!)

"Its true cos I got it in an email"

I stood there stunned, almost in tears of laughter, that people actually believe the shit that is sent to email inboxes. I nearly got up and slapped her for believing such bullshit.

Whats next, people actually sending money to Nigeria for "oil"? (Oh wait, they do that anyway, morons...)

Anyway my point is, have any of you had a similiar tale of people believing this shit?

I got one where "if you don't send it NOW! you will be doomed with 10 relationship problems for 10 years!!!"

I thought, well, 1 a year sounds really really good :D

I swear you've used that line before.

If it's true - OLD!

a woman at work always falls for those letters asking to send money sick children, and also the gypsies who hand out heather wrapped in kit kat wrappers

I've often laughed at people for just generally being stupid. My mate from uni obviously lead a bit of a sheltered life as a kid. He didn't know what Toad in the Hole was, didn't know that you could get spaghetti hoops ("Pasta? IN A CAN?!- he said, to everyones amusement), and many other things like, "What's a flannel? OH you mean a 'washcloth". Heh, the dude was a great mate, and very clever in his own right, but obviously lacked a lot of common sense.
Good times!

Once had a call to say I'd won a boat crossing to Santander all bona fide. I fell about laughing and said what's the 2nd prize? 2 crossings? Bloke was most upset when I told him to give it to someone else. I HATE boats, any size any variety!

i worked with a girl once who was convinced that poland was so named due to the large number of polar bears residing there.... she had told me this with full confidence in herself, then told me they migrated yearly.... from sweden.... at which point i started agreeing with her and told her to tell everyone.... she then told someone who wasnt as polite as me and got very upset when they laughed in her face :|
