One word emails will ALWAYS piss me off
It’s funny that in such an age of communication where we navigate the data superhighway of the Internet, we can’t even write a fucking message that has five words in it. Seriously, is one of the prerequisites to be a supervisor the ability to click send on messages that contain one word followed by a question mark?
Some examples:
- Status?
- Layout?
- Revise
- Agreed
- Approved
It’s not bad enough that people have no tact when they write, now they don’t even have words. Funny thing, some studies have shown that in our daily communication, most people understand 3% of what you’re telling them and the remaining 97% is them inferring, assuming and getting creative. So if you give me a one word email, guess what, I’m gonna get creative.

Seriously, for being so highly evolved and technological, we do a piss poor job of communicating even the basics so people can do things rushedly rush rush and madame shit for brains can get to her home while I’m fuckety fuck fucked at the office.
You need things rush? Then throw me a goddamn bone genius.
You need twenty revisions done? Write me bullets. Do you have a suggestion? Venture to write an email that has ten words. Want things done perfectly, then communicate perfectly or at least do an attempt. Seriously, I get higher scores on Scrabble when I have shitty letters than some of the “messages” I receive.
People every day are becoming more technological Tarzans who rummage through their 70 word vocabulary to communicate revisions that take time, aren’t simply and if you already have an idea of what in fuck’s sake you want, then TELL ME so I can leave.
But the funny part is that if I actually spewed my bile on the department floor, guess what would the progress be:
MY MESSAGE
AHHHHHHHHHHHH
REPLY FROM SUPERVISOR
Sorry. My bad.
Bloody FAN-TAS-TIC
