I usually just resend the original with the answer to their question highlighted...
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.
hellsummon
At least they attempt to read it...people just outright ignore mine ????
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

when you repeat the too long title in the caption:

I work as a change management coordinator for a major ISP. Telling companies when we will do planned work on their internet....
N0ledge
I would simply send back "read the first mail"
Volkrad
Welcome to Tradesmen FUCKING International.
RebelPotato
This happened to me today...for the billionth time. I also have my emails ignored for days, weeks even. So awesome.
fistfullofepic101
God shes so hot
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.

all. the. time.
Zellacat
It is worse when you spent a day researching an answer & checking sources & they don't bother reading that.
jridley
It's a good lesson to learn - hardly anyone reads past the first couple of sentences.
byronape
As an IT guy, this happens to me ALL THE TIME! Then it's my fault they didn't get the info they needed...
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
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.
PutThePRNDLinD
tl;dr...
friendlysatan
I should start putting these in emails
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.
BigHowse75
I usually just copy/paste or fw the first email
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.
MirielBjartskular
I CAN relate
ImgurIsOutOfUsernames
Oh you mean, when you respond to a job recruiter?
thingamajig1987
I just reply back saying "please see previous email for information requested"
MWD78
I can never take Krysten Ritter seriously because she looks like she's really, really into anal sex.
tacoparlor
How does one "look like" that?
MWD78
JasperJunesJitterJuice
Why would you not take her seriously for that?
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.
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.
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.
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
TinySupreme
Just dont reply at all. Fuck them.
tcgl
That's what I do. Sometimes I add a little passive-aggressive smiley next to it, if they're a repeat offender.
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! :-)
