A Few Work Email Pet Peeves

  • Mark all your emails to be sent priority so they have that annoying little red exclamation point on them. Am I to believe that everything you send me is extremely important? Get over it princess.
  • Use no spaces in your subject line. There's no limit to the amount of text that goes in our subject lines. I know this because someone wrote an entire email to me in the subject line.
  • Write your entire email in the subject line. Moron!
  • Put "Reply Requested" in they subject of your email. Did you think I would just ignore you? I probably should.
  • Forward me everything you receive in an effort to "share information".
  • Expect me to read all your emails after you forward me everything you receive. I do have work to do you know.
  • Email me then call me and ask me if I got your email.
  • Don't reply with history and write only "yes." in the body of the email.
  • Overuse of exclamation points. Just like jewelry and cologne, exclamations points should be used sparingly.

My dad has a habit of waiting like a week to reply to my emails, and then replying without a history. Usually, I have no f'ing idea what he is talking about. Come to think of it... that's not limited to email.
