Why is it...

that no matter how many times I tell certain members of staff that items such as:

"An important message from the Police Guys please pass this along to all the women you know.....This actually happened a few weeks ago right here in England.

It was early evening and a young lady stopped to get petrol. She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her petrol.
The cashier told her, Don't pay for your petrol yet....walk around the store for a while and act as if you're picking up some other things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car. I've called the police and they're on their way'.

When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the girl's car and asked him what he was doing. He replied, he was joining a gang and the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her back to the gang to be raped by every member of the gang. If the woman was still alive by the time they finish with her then they let her go.

According to the police that night, there is a new gang forming here originating from London. The scary part of this is because the guy didn't have a weapon on him. The police could only charge him with trespassing.... He's back on the street and free to try again.

Please be aware of what's going on around you and for your family and friends. LADIES you or one of your family and friends could be the next victim. Please forward this on to everyone you know. Please do not discard this message it is very important that everyone knows what is happening.

Please be careful when leaving your vehicle and make sure it is ALWAYS Locked to prevent this from happening to you."

and I tell them that they're just urban legends (Snopes.com), a month or two later and they're circulating another bloody one?
