Nailed it. This is how email works.
If you want to ensure i de-prioritise your request, request a read receipt or send a follow up email the next day.
If you don’t want me to ever do anything for you promptly ever again call me to check whether I got your email.





But its always the dumbest fear.
Its not like “im worried about some idiot POTUS destroying my livelihood through his own ego and a misunderstanding of economic policy” or “im not going to be able to afford health care when i inevitably get sick”.
Its always “if you let gay people get married then people will marry their pets and that would be an atrocity because reasons”.
