11 reasons why email - it's a pain
A Life / / December 19, 2019
Email - it's part of our lives. There are people who can delete their accounts in social networks or no wind, do not use smartphones and infinitely proud of it. All this personal choice, but when it comes to e-mail, no one in the world of adult business afford not to have email. But sometimes, this tool is just angry. Here are 11 of nasty items that make conversation as punishment.
If you do not have an electronic box, it's like there is no telephone number - to you it is difficult to reach, not to mention the business issues that are increasingly solved by email.
So we have the mailboxes, we write in the boxes with automatic greetings, try not to drown in the wave of incoming letters, and everything seems to be good, but, like any social interaction, communication via email creates its own problems, which just put out.
1. unequal exchange
If the person with whom you correspond by email:
- It makes typos, and you - no;
- It allows punctuation mistakes while you write correctly;
- writes lowercase instead of uppercase;
- very long answer, then you're doing it almost immediately;
- responding to your long and literate writing a short letter "to fuck off."
Such unequal exchange can occur for various reasons: professional inequality, the difference age, a situation where "the customer is always right", or when a person is constantly rewritten with many people.
In general, if at least something of the above items is the same with your situation, chances are you that it is necessary from the man. So you have to endure.
2. Correspondence with people who are not advanced in technology
Over time, such people is becoming smaller, but nevertheless they still have. They make illogical actions, which at first perplexed, then annoying.
For example, instead of to throw a link to the article, these people will copy in an article, and they do not know that you can send an email to several people at the same time.
And sometimes, for some strange reason, they can write you a letter caps.
3. Correspond with people born before 1930
Older people may say that the "car broke down", if you accidentally turned the browser window, and concepts such as "attach a file" or "link" does not have to have a clear meaning. They hear them, but do not understand.
So if you have not forgotten how to write by hand, it is best to write this letter to such people. Especially it would be cool to 50 years say that you have a letter from a man who was born in 1920.
4. People later responsible for group conversations
5a. Do not know how to contact a friend
In order not to complicate their lives, we agree with certain rules and regulations on how to treat fellow correspondence.
"Hello" - it is a friendly and neutral so you can refer to any person you do not know or do not know well.
When your relationship with the person getting closer and warmer, you are entering into a stage of "Hello".
And actually close relatives and friends greeting does not need. All this is clear and familiar, but there is one thing - the very green area with the image above.
How to handle, for example, a person with whom you met at a formal meeting, then spoke in a friendly manner, but it was so long ago ...
"Hello" sounds too formal, you're drinking together in the bar after the meeting, a "hello" - very relaxed, maybe he had not remembered you.
5 B. You do not know how to sign his letter
The situation is similar. For an official request, we have "respect", and loved ones do not require a signature. And for people in the middle position is difficult to come up with something suitable.
Some people sign their email first letter of the name, but it looks like something flirtatious intrigue and leaves the child, as if the person who subscribes so, looks like this:
In general, it is better to just write there name without any cuts, if you really have not seen and will not be charged.
6. Insert common phrases typical
Such phrases are used by all when writing email, and do not want to use the least because everyone else use them, depriving their letters at least some hint of individuality.
These phrases remind stupid answering machine on the phone: "Hello, you've reached Marie. Please leave a message after the tone. "
Automatic phrases like "I look forward to seeing" completely devoid of individuality and creative but lazy person experiencing the pain, sending such messages. But nothing can help it, because every time to come up with their own interpretation of the hackneyed phrases - it is too.
7. The development of an exclamation mark
When we communicate with someone, in reality, we have many ways to express their emotions: tone of voice and non-verbal signs. Even on the phone, one voice can express a lot of emotions and colors.
As for email, at our disposal, there is only a limited set of symbols to express the nuances of conversation.
Some people do not use an exclamation point, and smiles at all, and that gives grim conversation tone.
Others use them too often, and it is difficult to resist, not to do the same.
This is important because the difference between use and non-use of exclamation points and smiley looks like this:
Sometimes there are typos with the substitution of a question mark with an exclamation, and this creates additional problems in understanding.
You can always follow the example of the person with whom you are chatting, and doing the same thing he was doing, but the pleasure of writing this email goes to zero.
Another punctuation mark, which is used to express emotions - dots. It gives any sentence mystery, and in some cases even adds eroticism.
8. Epic correspondence in which nobody wants to participate
This is a unique phenomenon of email correspondence, which happens when two "not-so-good" friend stuck in a long correspondence with a full biography.
These conversations can last for years, and both parties do not really want to answer all the questions posed in my last letter. Yes, and read other people's outpouring of long and boring.
Such correspondence ends when one of the people who die or when one of them decided not to respond to someone else's email address and the two finally breathe a sigh of relief.
9. Trying to cram a laugh in an e-mail
Laughter - a wonderful piece of voice communication, but when it comes to correspondence, it looks ridiculous. We can say lol, but some prefer to express emotions in a different way:
- ha ha - it is a little bit funny, or not funny at all;
- hahaha - funny;
- ahahahah - funny;
- AHAHAHAHAHAHAH - very funny;
- hahaha - I have the original and fickle.
Despite this rapid expression of laughter, people who write email, tend to look something like the guy in the picture above.
10. Bad things happen, and you never know
Answer insincere "HAHAHA" - is just the tip of the iceberg. You know that people can send someone to the entire chain of correspondence? Your correspondence.
In addition, there are groups of chains between your family and friends, and you may find that you are included in all, but most likely it is not.
Imagine that now there are several group conversations between your friends and family, in which you will never turn on. Unpleasant, right? And you of them do not even suspect.
And yet, remember, it is that you send your chain calls to someone else to laugh together? Are you sure that this will never do with your letters?
11. Accidents email
Accidents email - a special kind of misery that leads to humiliation, insult, and can even destroy a relationship. Here are a few examples of such accidents:
- You can write the person X, telling something about the person Y, and mistakenly send a letter to a person Y. This is the moment when you break through a cold sweat.
- Answer something a person X, write something personal and mistakenly send the entire group.
- Forwards the email to someone and forget that not one letter is attached, and the whole chain of correspondence, and in it there is something that he should not have to see. Maybe just something unpleasant about him.
- Attached to the letter of something terrible, just mixed up the files.
