These things REALLY suck. The same tired, humorless lists of one-liners that I've seen for the last 20 years. "Perks of being over 50", "Funny metaphors in high school essays", "Actual [anything] said [done] by children [politicians, lawyers, doctors, teachers]"
And "humor" isn't the only thing they send. No, they send ridiculous chain letters asking to support this or that; and news stories that have been listed in scopes for 10 years.
Now all this would be bearable if the senders would honor a simple request to be removed from their mailing list. But in all the years that I've been subjected to this onslaught, not one person has honored that request on the first try. Most haven't honored the request at all.
I don't mind (much) these things in Live Journal 'cause I don't have to do anything about them and I can easily skip over them. They are a lot better behind lj-cuts, though.

Turn on your phone! Or call me back. I'm still not getting email. Not only am I not getting email, apparently the email I am sending out is not getting to where it needs to be either.
