With all of those Christmas gifts and family gatherings come loads of trash that need to be tossed out the day after. The same can be said for email. We've received quite a few messages since our last installment of th e Android Police Files, and while many of them were helpful tips and other notices, some were not so useful. We trashed as much of it as we could, but some items we felt were better off dragged out onto the sidewalk for the public to see.
So take a gander, and hopefully you will get more joy from these nuggets than we did. In retrospect, they're pretty funny. And just for you, this post-Christmas edition of our most off-topic column contains more than the usual eight letters.

If you look below the subject line, there is a significantly larger box where you can fit many more words. This isn't Twitter, so feel free to provide us with details and context . This is a tip line, after all, and if it turns out you're just dealing with a faulty router - that's not news.

The 1990s called. Here, it's for you.

Hello,
I'm not too pleased with your service, I've already sent a dozen emails and it seems as though the people/computers replying to them are completely oblivious to what I'm saying. I was charged 3 times for an app which I did not download, it appearing on my bank and its not appearinf through Google play store, ill be more than happy to provide (emphasis added). Please respond !!!!
Provide... what? Some of us are more than willing to accept alternative forms of payment in return for o ur services, but it all depends on precisely what it is you're willing to provide. And what it is you're asking for, to be honest.
Letter 4
Subject: how do i apply
Text:

Drat, you just missed our last phone giveaway. All I can say is to keep your eyes peeled for when the next one rolls around. Maybe you will get lucky.

What is this all about?
Excuse me, this one needs to be shared in the chat room.
Letter 7
Subject: I do NOT want a monthly membership!
Text:
I have a Google play gift card. How do I get it to work? I am lost.
There is a moment between creating a subject and typing out the remainder of an email where a person forgets what it was they were going to write about. It happens to the best of us.
Letter 8
Subject: Snapchat
Text:
I think you should let snap chat be compatible with Android Tablet . Please fix it or give it to the users .
We don't get mixed with anything that involves any combination of our readers and Snapchat.
But Wait - There's More!
Normally we stop these things after eight emails, but let's just say we haven't yet lost the Christmas spirit. Besides, there's a big wide Internet out there, and email is far from the only means of embarrassing oneself onli ne.
Letter 9
This one's a long one, so the formatting's slightly different from usual. Each email's subject is in bold.

Angry words were said here. Let's pause for a moment to let ourselves cool off before moving to the next one, because believe me, things are about to get worse.
A Google Hangout With Jenson Phillips
November 29th 7:06 PM
Jenson Phillips: why not
November 30th 4:15 PM
Jenson Phillips: I have over 60 000 karma on reddit I think I can handle it
Artem Russakovskii: Sorry, what's this about? I seem to be missing the first part of the conversation
Also I'm drunk
December 2nd 8:25 AM
Jenson Phillips: i am applying for an android police writer job-
December 2nd 3:07 PM
Jenson Phillips: but obviously you cant see talent
December 2nd 6:39 PM
Artem Rus sakovskii: I am on vacation and right now I have no idea what you're talking about
I don't see a history in Hangouts
December 3rd 9:04 AM
Jenson Phillips: there is a history and you promised me that I could do an article on AP
Artem Russakovskii: I just checked my email and I don't see any history
And Hangouts doesn't show it either
Can you paste me the relevant history you're talking about?
Jenson Phillips: hmm that is weird
Artem Russakovskii: I'm really out of it while on vacation
Jenson Phillips: i can see that ha
December 13th 10:51 AM
Jenson Phillips: can you give me a nexus 5?
Artem Russakovskii: who the hell are you again?
you still never gave me any history
that we supposedly discussed something
and now you' re asking about a Nexus 5
Jenson Phillips: I just want a free nexus 5
Artem Russakovskii: go away
fuck off
now you're pissing me off
Jenson Phillips: Good
Artem Russakovskii: bye
Jenson Phillips: DOX me cunt
Artem Russakovskii: you're being blocked
Jenson Phillips: ok
At least he took the blocking well. You can view a screenshot of this conversation on Artem's Google+ page.
That's All Folks!
I'm cutting you off here . There's a limit to how much trolling a person can handle at any one time, even secondhand, and I fear all of you are dangerously close to exceeding it.
Again, don't let what you've seen above lead you to believe that we don't want to hear from you. We absolutely do. So head on over to our contact page, and shoot us an email. We have some of the best readers out there, and no amount of bad apples can ruin this bunch.
Of course, if your email is particularly bad, there's a chance it will appear in future installments of the Android Police Files. Don't worry, we won't publish identifying information for any emails we receive.*
*Obnoxious Google Hangouts, on the other hand, are a different thing entirely.
