Can I just tell you guys how much I LOVE and HATE the little red exclamation point you can use to send Outlook emails?
I mean, I rarely ever use the thing, because, afterall, it’s like having the Ace and knowing you gotta be really selective when you’re going to slam it down. In that case, I love it. It’s a cute important little guy announcing, “Hey! This is urgent! Like the sky is about to fall and if you don’t forward this to 5 people in 7 minutes you will have really bad luck for 11 years!”
However, on the same token, I really hate the stupid little pieces of crap. I mean, who is so important that they need to have a loud red obnoxious exclamation point on
Every
Single
Email?
Seriously.
I’m totally with you on this one! There is a guy who sends me emails on a regular basis and EVERY SINGLE EMAIL has “This message was sent with High importance.” across the top. Seriously...it’s like the little boy who cried wolf. I’ve gotten to the point where I don’t even want to respond to his emails because it annoys me so much! I’m glad someone else can relate - makes me think of a real men of genius commercial (who do you think you are Mr. Red Exclamation Point misuser?).
