Sending emails is a modern staple of work life. We email our bosses, our colleagues, our clients, and more. But a new survey from email marketing firm EmailTooltester reveals there’s a host of things you may be doing in your emails that outright annoy people.

According to the results of the company’s survey, these are the top 10 things in emails that annoy workers the most:

While these results are the averages of all people surveyed, EmailTooltester’s survey also found that when you break down the results by generational divide, the rankings vary with different groups of workers. For example, when it comes to emoji use in emails, 26.4% of millennial respondents aged 35 to 44 found them the most annoying, while just 12.2% of Gen Z respondents aged 18 to 24 found emoji use in emails annoying.

The survey was conducted from a representative sample of 1,043 American workers aged 18 and older in October 2023, who work or had worked in an office environment in the previous 12 months.
