People who leave random papers on my desk and forget about them until a week later

Frustrating day at the office? 

I think someone's got to revive the missing link thread for @ etech0's sanity.

People who send you an email (that isn't very important), and then send another one an hour later just to confirm that you got the first one.

You - if you're out there and reading DDF, I saw your first email, and didn't answer it yet for a reason! Okay?

You have a disturbingly large number of email-related pet peeves. Maybe you should consider switching to fax...

You want to hear all about people who print out our web forms, fill them out, and fax them in?

Maybe a repost but worth repeating. . . People who haven't yet learned the appropriate uses of Reply v. Reply All, and CC v. BCC.

There are 10 people on the chain and you choose to Reply. Now I have to go back and copy everyone else back onto the email.

I BCC you so your adversary doesn't know you're in the loop, and you Reply All .

I know someone who never BCCs for that reason. She forwards the emails after sending them to whoever she wants to BCC.

When people post a vague comment about some shtick they know about but then refuse to give any more details. If you know a "trick" and don't want it to die, keep it to yourself - don't show off you know something and then not share it!
