It's all I can do not to lecture the people who request these. What I hate most is that in my google-based work email, every time I look at an old email for which a read receipt was requested and I didn't send it, the request comes up all over again! Even if I responded to the person. Argh!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-418386 Wed, 28 Nov 2012 02:05:13 +0000 daniellemybelle 418386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Confession: When I first started using read receipts, I had never actually received one, so I didn't think it required action from the recipient, or even that they knew about it. I thought the email could just "tell" it had been read! So I used them all the time until I figured it out! I'm pretty sure I actually didn't get a job interview because I used one on an email job application... stupid! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-418000 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 20:01:21 +0000 blackbird 418000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i hate read receipts. HATE. Only when they are VERY important and from my boss do I think they are ok :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417850 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 18:27:01 +0000 Turd Ferguson 417850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladyfingers: Haahahha. Yes. Same. I despise them and close them/X out in hopes that it makes the sender mad. I am the queen of passive aggressiveness... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417730 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:27:59 +0000 ladyfingers 417730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. I purposely and spitefully decline to send read receipts every single time. They are so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417720 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:25:54 +0000 Alivoo01 417720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Those are annoying!!! I usually just close them out and don't even respond. Those receipts flood your inbox if people do respond. Why in the world would you want that?? Do you not get enough emails as is??? lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417709 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:21:17 +0000 littlek 417709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate those!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417702 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:19:51 +0000 doxielove 417702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually reply to them. There's only person at my company who sends them religiously but it doesn't bother me - he only sends important correspondence. </p> <p>I would, however, like to send read receipts on my outgoing mail because I really feel most of my e-mails are ignored and deleted (I'm in Finance...hated department, of course). I would send them but I don't want to be more hated :-P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417673 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 17:08:52 +0000 keiki_mama 417673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate them and ignore them :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417644 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:57:48 +0000 prettylizy 417644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: seriously?!! Do you work with Dwight Shrute?</p> <p>I would never respond to those emails and just drive him crazy thinking that you didn't read or receive them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417639 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:56:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 417639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never respond to them! I don't get them in my current position, but at my old work I always did. SO annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417634 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:55:28 +0000 autumnlove 417634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: No, he is just annoying and thinks those are important emails! LOL. His emails that are actually about work don't require read receipts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417630 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:53:35 +0000 prettylizy 417630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bet he has a default where he requests a read receipt on all emails- I would ignore a good chunk of them. I do occasionally request them for work purposes when I need to track things, but if it's not important I ignore them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417625 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:51:48 +0000 MrsTiz 417625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My insuranse agent is the only one who uses them, and they annoy me. What if I don't want to e-mail back yet?! I feel so pressured! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417603 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:44:25 +0000 Lone Palm 417603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it bad that whenever someone requests a read receipt I decline? sometimes I don't want to or can't answer them right away.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-respond-to-read-receipts#post-417602 Tue, 27 Nov 2012 16:44:17 +0000 heartonastring 417602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never send back the receipts!

I wouldn't respond to emails like that and if he asked about it I'd say I was busy and maybe he'd get the hint.
