This may sound totally uninteresting, but stick with me on this. I find junk mail hilarious. It really shows how stupid you were when you gave out your email address all around the internet. Sign up for a few coupon sites and end up with ads for local singles in your area streaming to your email. I went through my junk email just to see what was going on there, and I was amazed by what I found…
I never realized that there were so many ads out there for BBW relationships (you can look that up yourself) and who knew that I had 23 “Bootygrams” waiting for me! If I were single, my junk mail might have just become my ticket to winning a girl. Literally everything I need to find a girlfriend is in my junk mail. First I would probably go to the link for cheap Viagra and Cialis, then click on the message with the subject “Size Matters, So Get Big Now” then I would probably respond to a few of those bootygrams and check out all the messages from MillionaireSinglesOnline which is totally a real thing of course (aka a bunch of fake accounts or lonely lottery winners). After checking out that I would definitely take advantage of the limited time 40% off body building supplements message (which isn’t limited considering I have been getting the same email for like 2 years).
I realized today that somehow the ad companies are trying to target lonely, poor, sad, scrawny, and… small… people that check their junk mailbox on a regular basis. I can assure you that I am none of those, and that I only check my junk mail to look for emails from people that I may have missed. I hate when I am scrolling through singles ads and find an email from someone I have been waiting months to hear back from.
I really do wonder though who sold my email address along the way. I have never signed up for anything even remotely like this, so unless my subscriptions to inspirational email quote of the day or signing up for Netflix got me put on the list of lonely basement-dwelling singles, I don’t think I understand why I am getting these messages. But that really is the mystery of the junk mail box isn’t it? You may never know why you got it, you may never know how you got signed up for it, but it reminds you every day that someone out there is actually stupid enough to click those ads. Suckers.
So, question to all you people out there! What is the weirdest thing you have ever found in your junk mail, and have you ever followed any of those ads? Comment with your responses and don’t forget to like our Facebook page, Follow us on Twitter, and subscribe for instant updates!
