Who would’ve figured?
… anyone with enough sense to know the difference between stupid hoax chain mail and actual threats?
The people I work with are slowly starting to grate on my nerves.
I got warned before I left NOT to go to malls tonight with the kids. I popped back with: “HOAX. Not true.”
“How do you know??”
“Email hoax.” Then told them about snopes (briefly) and that the FBI had already looked into it, etc.
“But how do you know??”
(sigh)
“It’s ok. I’m not going to any malls tonight, anyway.”
Sometimes, it’s really not worth the effort when those eyes looking back at you are reminding you of deer caught in headlights.
And there’s not anything below the antlers except that vacuous expression…
My mother and I went to the mall tonight, We ate dinner in the food court and walked around to see the trick or treaters costumes. I knew about the faux warning. I told her. We didn’t give it a second thought. Even if it had been true, I was feeling a bit “John McClaine-ish” and was thinking “yippie-kay-yay-mo’-fo’”
