I get these from our folks in the Asia offices. I always respond with, "Doing well" and answering their questions and moving on.

This is not the kind of stuff that I let bother me.

Yeah, people being polite in an email pisses me off too.

Haha.
Email etiquette is a weird thing.

That annoys me too. Not enough to ruin my day or even my minute, but maybe 2 seconds worth of irate.

I hate "Thank you for your note" as a response.
Also hate when people start with "Dear [name]". It's an email, not a 19th century letter.

And signature blocks that go beyond name, title, basic contact info.

Emails really should be direct and to the point, without being rude.

Regards,

Tigahbruh

I used to start my emails with a cordial salutation. Now I just say “What’s kickin’ Dick-licker”

That;s not an uncommon phrase in all sorts of correspondence. It does seem a little archaic, however.

The checker clerk and the bagger girl both told me to "have a bless-ed day" at the Winn Dixie.
Figured it's a popular new thing.
