What kind of person asks for a read receipt on their emails? I mean seriously, what kind of loser must you be? I always select the box to not notify them that I have read their message, because gently caress them. I also make a mental note that the person must be a needy little bitch and then I ignore them for excessive periods of time. Am I the only one who feels this way and responds in a juvenile, passive-aggressive manner?

I've never gotten an email that's had one of these. I think it's an ok idea if you want to be able to check if someone read your email or not. Like if they didn't do the thing then you can assume that they don't have the information that was in it.

Like all modern computer technology, these are concessions to 2nd wave millennials who may break down in uncontrolled fits if they don't receive constant validation and reassurance.

Probably someone who has an administrative job where they are supposed to make sure certain people get certain information and if they don't they get reamed. At least that's who uses the read receipt at my work. Aside from "who has read my e-mail", I assume the functionality is there so that the recipient doesn't feel like they have to send an e-mail that's basically just an acknowledgement. Which doesn't work for exactly the reasons you posted OP.

Dear colleague many thanks for the spreadsheet of dick sizes in accounting. yours, oberleutnant I mean is that just too loving social for the autistic spergs who populate the modern workforce and can only communicate via impersonal machine beeps so as not to have an episode

I also always check the box to never send the stupid read receipts. Bitch, you'll know I read your email when you see that I did something about it. Picking that option or sending it as high priority does absolutely nothing to change when I was going to do anything.

Read Receipt is great when I need lazy chucklefucks to get off their rear end for 30 seconds to send me some lovely report so I can check a box and get other douchebags off my rear end because my life and professional career is a loving office drone where I sell the best part of my day and life for a dismal paycheck and some even shittier health insurance because this is whatever our coked out overlords decided is how slavery in the modern world should be. What's super lovely is when it's a read receipt with 20 different managers attached.

Yeah, some idiot just sent me a read receipt email and it's an email he sent to his entire address book. What a fuckjob.

Hey, you know what else pisses me off? When someone calls you and you don't answer for whatever reason - on the phone, in the bathroom, ignoring your phone, etc - and then instead of leaving a message or calling back 15 minutes later, they hang up and immediately call back. What the gently caress do you think I was doing three seconds ago that I wouldn't be doing now? I had one guy do this 4 times in a row. I called him back at like 7 PM when I knew he wouldn't answer and left a very friendly message. Ignored his call the next day, haha.

I put a bunch of filters on my work email. I "get" about 4 emails a day. My diversion folder currently has over 1400 emails from the last week and that doesn't count the filters that straight-up delete mail as it shows up. Also read receipts are dumb but I can tolerate them. What I hate is when I send someone an email asking them, say four questions (using bullet points ffs), and then they only answer the first one. Then it becomes a game where I reply with the remaining three questions and they answer another one.

See, when people do stuff like that I just wait until the very end of the day to email them and then the next day I do the same thing and then it takes like a week longer to get things done and I have a nice paper trail showing I emailed every single day.
