This cartoon seems like it's 10 years old!

[–]Macblair 6 points7 points ago

Thought this myself, AOL was more mid 90s, 2002 people were well in the crap ton of bad emails phase of life.

[–]JKR93 2 points3 points ago

I think you're on to something.

[–]PK_Fire 0 points1 point ago

Exactly, and as Chapmeisterfunk said, I've seen this cartoon at least 6 months ago, I'm sure it's even older.

[–]mintfoot 8 points9 points ago

It's nice to see someone repost a way of calling out a repost, makes it feel like you and OP are equals!

[–]Mr_Rawrr -5 points-4 points ago

Great fags think alike.

But, I can't copy that guy's fancy table :(

[–]MedievalKnieval 6 points7 points ago

Who'd be excited by snail mail? It's always a bill.

[–]dropkickpa 3 points4 points ago

The delivery drivers for FedEx, ups, etc think it's hilarious to deliver stuff to me because I still get inordinately excited to get packages, even though I know exactly what is in the box and it's just office supplies or a random repair part. I fully intend to continue enjoying the little pops of joy in my otherwise dull life.

[–]haleyann 0 points1 point ago

I get excited by snail mail... it's usually a paycheck.

[–]fockyou 1 point2 points ago

A reverse bill

[–]Jonny_Watts 0 points1 point ago

A bill to YOU!

[–]Tactful 10 points11 points ago

Reminds me of: Perry Bible Fellowship

[–]Chaquator 15 points16 points ago

Yet the reposts stay the same.

[–]MattTress 2 points3 points ago

[–]L4t3r41u5 1 point2 points ago

i like both, because that means someone wants to talk to me. I like it when that happens

[–]RocketLauncher 1 point2 points ago

I use Gmail and spam stays in the spam folder for me. Anything I don't want in the inbox is some shit I subscribed to accidentally.

[–]shanedoth 0 points1 point ago

It's not necessarily spam. Some of us have dozens of emails per day that actually require action from us.

[–]Artisane 0 points1 point ago

10 years ago?

[–]APiousCultist 0 points1 point ago

Someone never used AOL.

[–]brilisk 1 point2 points ago

So true. Getting letters in the mail is a great feeling. Handwritten letters seem way more personal.

[–]kungfoojesus 1 point2 points ago

All the comments are derogatory, but this post still makes the frontpage. I have my subs but everyone has to look at "all" from time to time. These types of continual reposts just suck, so have a downvote, I'm sure it won't change anything.

[–]Careb 0 points1 point ago

that was more like 16 years ago

[–]ZMush 0 points1 point ago

Oh, how this has been reposted.

[–]rajdon 0 points1 point ago

Oh, all kinds of mail I get (especially regular mail!) makes me think "got damn it, what payment did I miss now..."

[–]nk53011 0 points1 point ago

retoast

[–]KirbyStyle 0 points1 point ago

I've got it. Ill just save all these posts, wait 6 months, repost them, and pretend it is the first time anyone has ever seen it!

[–]jakemyers7 0 points1 point ago

This is one of the few jokes that actually come with an expiration date

[–]HaroldSax -1 points0 points ago

In 2002, I was good with e-mail and didn't use snail mail anymore. Unless you think this is '07...

[–]Jonny_Watts 0 points1 point ago

I first saw this comic in 2009.

[–]HaroldSax 0 points1 point ago

Ah, this is my first time seeing it.

[–]ChIck3n115 0 points1 point ago

Only 436 unread emails? I'm sitting at just over 15,000...

[–]theturban 0 points1 point ago

I didn't realize how true this was until I read it. Damn, I really want a letter now.

[–]SheepWrites 0 points1 point ago

R-R-R-REPOST.

[–]Gossamerr 0 points1 point ago

Of course! Technology is cyclical!

[–]keekee1983 0 points1 point ago

I wish people would write to me.

Real people.

[–]theGuatemalanYMCA 0 points1 point ago

but this post stays the same...

[–]killerwin[S] -3 points-2 points ago

[–]AndreasFrom -2 points-1 points ago

That's clever. Source? EDIT: OP commented here with the source. http://poofytoo.com/

[–]shure_thing -2 points-1 points ago

Please. Tomato.

[–]humpydumpty 1 point2 points ago

Fwd: FWD: RE: re: re:fwd:FWD: LMAO!!

[–]PeanutHamster 0 points1 point ago

Kinda wish I could apply Gmail filters to some of my posted mail.

'Contains: bill, final demand, bank statement, junk mail, letter from someone I don't care about

Action: Skip letterbox, send to Ignore folder, apply 'Not good news' and 'start weeping' label.'

[–]Syini666 -2 points-1 points ago

3 days off work for me translates to about 500 emails (after my filters are applied), if I take off for vacation it ends up being over 1000 easily. Needless to say I seriously despise email.

[–]That_Ohio_Guy 1 point2 points ago

Then it's just bills

[–]QuietNiceGuy 0 points1 point ago

And then that brief moment of elation turns into another week of no food.

[–]Anasto -3 points-2 points ago

100% Agree with this! "I DONT WANT YOUR PUBLICITY!"
