Our inboxes are chaotic. About 17 billion e-mails, all kinds of spam, endless threads from 14 months back, junk from Mom sent to 1,200 people, colleague and friends’ contacts, ad infinitum.
So what’s your biggest e-mail peeve? A staffing firm posed that question to 250 people in advertising and marketing over the summer.
Almost a third, 29 percent, said being copied on the “reply all” function was the most irksome practice.
An equal percentage cited receiving large, unsolicited files in their e-mail. About 16 percent said they found messages that are too long the most annoying e-mail practice. Thirteen percent cited typos and grammatical mistakes.
and 6 percent cited having to scroll through the message to find the information they need.
