[quote=Anonymous]I am dumbfounded at many of these responses. I think the roommate’s email was fine - both the request (as others pointed out, the roommate’s stuff would be in this spot but for the covid driven mid year move out requirement) and the tone (not rude at all! why is everyone micromanaging the pleasanrries this girl should have used in her email?). To be honest OP, your daughter’s immediate offense at the request, her judgment of the roommate’s friendlessness due to her instagram pics, and her plan to pretend not to have received the email are the reactions/responses that seem offensive and rude. And I am no pushover, but I also don’t pick fights and choose my battles. Also, to the teacher who noted that email etiquette is lacking in teens, I agree - my own kids’ emails seem very cold to me. Whwn I point this out, they say my texts are too wordy. Thinking this is a generational difference! [/quote]
