Topic: What grinds my gears: People who don't respond promptly to email

OH MY GOD. How fucking hard is it to CHECK YOUR EMAIL? You have a phone. A computer. Just say "okay." Or "I got it." Or "I'll get back to you next week." Working with people who DON'T FUCKING ACKNOWLEDGE YOU EVER is HORRIBLE.

"Hey becky I saw your email" TWO DAYS LATER is not acceptable.

Why don't you call if it's that imperative that you get a response right away? Odds are it isn't that important if you elect email over communicating ftf or by phone.

Yeah, it's irritating as fuck when people don't respond promptly to emails. People really should be quicker to reply.

If this is causing an autistic meltdown use a method of communication intended to be immediate. Like a phone. Or an in person conversation.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE IMMEDIATELY RESPOND TO MY MESSAGES IN BOTTLES?!?

@OP
Are your knickers untwisted yet? Perhaps it's the tone of your emails that makes people ignore you.

Do you think she would be more or less likely to get quick replies if she flashed her gash?
