Can I just say, I HATE when people reply to all.  There must be some written law or etiquette manual that I can send to people to get them to stop.  Aren’t there RULES to reply all?  Here are my rules…

Rule #1 – Do not reply to all

There – that’s it.  What do you all think?

No seriously, some people that reply to all are just embarrassing themselves.  Take for instance…. my friends sister.  She replies to all constantly.  She will call someone out on something in a replied email, airing her grievances for the entire address book to see. To be completely honest, I get uncomfortable seeing it. 

I, myself, happen to be very good at editing my emails. And others if they choose (my boss and co-worker).

Another thing my …. friends family…. does a lot is this emailing back and forth, like when there is a gathering taking place (for example – Christmas) and each person is going to bring some food.  So the first person sends an email to the whole family letting them know she’s going to bring rolls.  Then the second person replies all to that email, letting everyone know that they will bring mashed potatoes, and so on and so forth until there are 20 emails in the inbox with the same fucking message.  Guess what – I don’t care! Hey, if I volunteer to bring something that someone else has already ‘called’, then let me know and I bring something else.  is it that difficult?

Whoa… got a little wound up there for a bit. But I feel better now…
