when you send an email to someone & they email right back with a question that was answered in the 2nd line of your email....

Oh you mean, when you respond to a job recruiter?
GasBandit
That's my boss. Too busy to ever read over 1 line of an email, but apparently has time to reply to and read 10 1-line emails mins apart.
Zellacat
It is worse when you spent a day researching an answer & checking sources & they don't bother reading that.
goflyblind
skribs
To these people I find just answer the question, then wait for the next one, because you know they only read 1 line at a time.

I work as a change management coordinator for a major ISP. Telling companies when we will do planned work on their internet....
PutThePRNDLinD
tl;dr...
friendlysatan
I should start putting these in emails
CanadianOneDollarCoin
This happens to me daily. Sometimes I want to put a small line of text mid email: Eat a bag of dicks. Then see if anyone notices
MirielBjartskular
I CAN relate

God shes so hot
N0ledge
I would simply send back "read the first mail"
thingamajig1987
I just reply back saying "please see previous email for information requested"

It's a good lesson to learn - hardly anyone reads past the first couple of sentences.
BigHowse75
I usually just copy/paste or fw the first email
Crazywelderguy
I reply by attaching the previous email and saying "please reference the 2nd line of the attached email sent previously".
BuckeyeBTH
I have done exactly that, and got hauled in front of HR, Had to do a "business communication review" course.
Crazywelderguy
That stinks! I've been lucky, and it is the same 3 people always doing it.
AustinEmperor
I think she is gorgeous. Almost everyone I talk to thinks she is ugly though. She was my phone wallpaper for like a year. Lol
RebelPotato
This happened to me today...for the billionth time. I also have my emails ignored for days, weeks even. So awesome.
smpat04
Pro tip: You probably know what they're going to ask about. Short (<1 line) intro sentence followed by bullets with points.
smpat04
Then go into more detail after the bullets. Executives are either busy or lazy, I haven't figured out which.
hellsummon
At least they attempt to read it...people just outright ignore mine ????
ruferto
to be fair, if its a long email that you skim when busy sometimes you miss things
Nalianna
Yeah, it's totally hard to read emails, when your job description is essentially "email reader"
heril
Yes, but if you skim and have questions you first read again with greater care.
CountryFolksCanSurvive
Or when you have multiple questions but you only get a half-assed answer to the first one and they don't even look at the rest.
Valhella
Ugh, that was my last boss. "Ok" ...but I asked you three questions and updated you on two projects.
RebelPotato
YES, oh my word. Do you work with me as well? This is the reason I can't do my job efficiently!
CountryFolksCanSurvive
It's the questions that require just a yes or no answer that really bugs me when they ignore it, cause they aren't worth calling about.
samvimesbootstheory
Sent an email with questions. Not answered. Boss made me drive two hours EACH WAY to ask in person. At least the company paid for it.
CountryFolksCanSurvive
Wow. Did you bring a print out of the email so you could show them exactly which questions they didn't answer the first time?
samvimesbootstheory
I brought my laptop! I typed up a response to MY email & sent it to everyone involved. It was such a dumb thing.
manupug
Depending to who the email is for, I'll reply with a copy and paste of the original email saying: "as stated earlier [paste]"
ButIAmTheManager
Just resend the original with the answer highlighted
tcgl
That's what I do. Sometimes I add a little passive-aggressive smiley next to it, if they're a repeat offender.
TinySupreme
Just dont reply at all. Fuck them.
manupug
No, I want to make sure that they understand that I am being condescending
BuckeyeBTH
I did this, my HR team was not happy with me... Had to do a "business communication review" course.
DenaliRaven
Snowflakes have thin skin lol

Oh, i don't really believe that term in relegated strictly to millennials like us. Old people can be snow flakes too! :-)

I can never take Krysten Ritter seriously because she looks like she's really, really into anal sex.
JasperJunesJitterJuice
Why would you not take her seriously for that?
tacoparlor
How does one "look like" that?
