Email Pet Peeve #11: People who blindly hit "Reply All" when they only need to reply to one or two people who really care.

I'm with you on #11!

One of my peeves: Having someone glance at a detailed e-mail, only to respond with a question that's answered in the original content.

One of mine is when someone, two doors down from you, e-mails a simple question that could be handled by a phone call or, heaven forbid, actually getting up and walking two doors down to ask the question! Geezhave we become that lazy, impersonal and afraid of face-to-face contact?! And these are people who are on every social networking venue you can name. Curious.

Fun, informative video. I loved the staff comments at the end!

I have to say I am guilty of sometimes writing an email like a text message, but after receiving one like it from a friend i promptly put an end to texting abbreviations.

Also I agree with the women who said she is annoyed when people reply with questions that were answered in the your previous email... obvious they didn't take the time to read your message.
