What email habits and phrases make you cringe?

21 March 2026 @ 11:08 am

Email has been built into our working and personal lives for decades now, but some phrases and habits used in emails - especially ion recent years IMHO - stand out as irritating. Therefore I thought it might be nice for us to compile a little list. I shall start with two of mine: People who say 'yourself' when they mean 'you'. For example, "I'll send the report to yourself" instead of "I'll send you the report". Worst of all: People who begin 'Good morning', 'Good afternoon', etc., but don't take the trouble to type my name. I am sure there are many others, so let's have some of your ‘favourites’. submitted by /u/Ticklishchap to r/CasualUK

Bottom - Eddie and Richie are stuck on a Ferris wheel due to be demobilised in the morning and as a final Hail Mary pray to God for help, and he actually shows up to literally give them a hand.
