A phenomenon that occurs when you send an email to someone at the same time that they email you. Both of you then answer the other's emails and you go out of sync - creating two strands of conversation that occasionally cover the same ground.
Quite irritating, but not really much you can do about it other than wait for the other person to get both mails and think that you aren't replying anymore.

Get the email balls mug.This is what an Email Opera looks like:
// Message 1: TJ says //
1. /excuses
2. PoF was complicated... Turns out she had a bf. BUT I DIDN'T KNOW, IT WAS ONLY AFTER WE KISSED (we went for a walk after the wall climbing) THAT SHE TOLD ME. Which is bullsh*t. She was unhappy and wanted to see if there was anything better out there. I'm not going anywhere near that sh*t.
3. They added new walls.
// Message 2: EM says //
1. I said stop trolling!
2. Ouch sorry dude! That shit sucks!
/kekeke
// Message 3: TJ says //
1. /excuses
2. She wanted to see me again. She texted me this morning. They've been going out for a year already and she's somewhat ready to break off with him (maybe). On moral grounds, I can't do it unless she breaks it off and there's been an acceptable buffer period. We actually had a great time right up until that last bombshell.
// Message 4: EM says //
1. Your gay
2. buffer period is not needed after breakup sex I think would be awesome lol.
Continues for another 10 exchanges...

Get the Email Opera mug.Email forwards tend to be generated by nincompoops. They seem to believe that email domains/businesses/ghosts can track your emails and see how many people you send them to.
Often people believe ill babies will get money from AOL. Or perhaps that sending it to 30 people will grant a wish of your choice, improve your luck and or sex life.
The worst part of this phenomenon is that many people believe it. Please don't join them.
