Email Sender (outsider, non co-worker)
Email Recipient (me, other co-workers copied and really aren't the targeted recipient)
Email is asking a question to me and co-worker replies all and says "So-and-so will get an answer to you" or "So-and-so, will you reply back to sender."
Another classic, when we're on a three part email, directed to me and co-worker (boss) texts me to see if I got the email. SERIOUSLY???
Am I in the minority that when the tables are turned, I'll reply offline to a colleague and give them a heads up and a chance to reply if I'm in the position to reply and put them on the clock.
Effing Mondays...
This makes me insane with rage 
I don't mind OOO replies. Many people don't respond to emails on vacation. I don't, unless it's urgent. I'll scan them once a day. We don't get too many emergencies in my field, luckily.
Also, can we stop with the needless "Thanks." emails? If I did you a big favor or a big project? Thank away. Did I do something simply? No thanks required.
