Sure, if you want to be unpopular at the office you can leave your limburger cheese sandwich in the fridge for a month, refuse to speak in any tone but “high pitched scream,” or play the radio at your desk all day. But why go above and beyond when there are so many quick, simple ways to make your coworkers hate you? The best and fastest way is, of course, via email. ABC News polled employees about what their most-loathed email habits were, and the results should not in any way surprise you. They include typing in all caps, flagging every single email as urgent, forwarding around chain letters or pictures of kittens, and people who have not learned the difference between “reply” and “reply all.”
What’s the most annoying way your coworkers have used email to annoy you? In my case, it’s when someone forwards the most recent email in an extended conversation without remembering to delete the previous emails. Invariably in one of the previous emails you said something mean about the person the thing just gor forwarded to.
