when you e-mail your friends...how soon do expect a reply back...?

Question

and do you , like , get p*ssed off if they take ages to reply??? i know everyone is busy , but how often do people check their e-mails? once a week? once a fortnight? i find it hard to think its not just lack of manners!!!...coz when i get an e-mail from someone even if i'm busy i still e-mail them back within a few days!.........i'm in an impatient mood today!!!

Answer 1

Maybe 8 hours or one day for them to reply. They're all busy doing TJ prep

Answer 2

When I create and send an e-mail, I just "put it out there" and that's it. I then forget it completely. There are so many variables. Sometimes people are offline or are having trouble on their end of things, or maybe they are out of town or busy or whatever. I find, however, and so may you, that there is a kind of regular rythmn that comes with the way replies will "come in..." and I have learned to more less accept that as the right pace. Sometimes people will write three and four e-mails to you in a kind of "burst" of activity, and then they will vanish for awhile. I do know how frustrating it is, however, when, under the circumstances of what is being discussed, you have to wait forever for someone to wake up and answer you. That is something in their own make-up, and was probably an issue long before they tackled writing, sending and receiving, e-mails. So many times I will be sitting here and the little thing goes off in the lowermost right hand corner of my desktop telling me I have mail that I just hop on over and see if a reply is appropriate. I value and cultivate all of my friends, so they are totally used to replies within about ten minutes. Almost always. But, boy, I know what you mean about having to wait! I even have one fellow in Austin, Texas, who keeps promising me he will write more often and you know exactly what that means, don't you? Same old, same old. I'm 63 years old, so I know what waiting for something to happen means. (Grocery lines, bank lines, buses, &c.)

Answer 3

Ah now theres a question how highly do you rate your standing amongst those friends you email? Do your emails contain rhetoric questions? if so how can you expect an answer at all.
Seriously it depends I often send emails to freinds and family at 2/3/4am obviously I don't expect immediate replies. Besides my family has the reputation of being extremely bad at keeping in touch - a card at christmas means you are remembered in a favourable light. Anything more frequent and you're on a roll!

Answer 4

I expect to get replys in about 2 days - when i check my emails, if im replying to quite a few people half way through you get tired like i am with this mail(but it is late!!) so dont take offence just call them instead!!!

Answer 5

as quickly as I acquire an digital mail, I continually respond lower back. whether I ought to deliver a respond some days later, i'm going to apoligize for being late and then supply my message :) I oftentimes get a respond. that is relaxing getting a message, notwithstanding that is much greater relaxing once you get a respond lower back ^^ I wish I had L's digital mail handle. Gosh, we ought to type lower back forth with regard to the bestest candies interior the worldwide. and then we ought to challenge one yet another at a pastime of tennis on line or something! XD

Answer 6

Well mostly people would actually check their email when they get the chance and it might take a while for some one to reply becuase it depends when they get it and if you emailed someone and they reply back in time do the same to them.

Answer 7

It depends, if I am asking a question, I expect to be answered ASAP. But if I sent a "just trying to catch up" email, I don't expect a response until they have time. A week or two. I have one friend who has not returned email the last two or three times I sent one. (not jokes, but real how ya doing emails) so I am will not email or call her again. Until she takes the initiative. I don't have time in my life for one sided friendships.

Answer 8

Depends.....I probably check my emails abouts once a week and always reply to my mail. Try using yahoo instant messager if you wanna quick response

Answer 9

I would agree if a friend does not answer me back in what I personaly consider resonable I am mad.

I usually give a friend 3 days to reply.

Answer 10

ummm... I would expect an email reply in about 2-3 days. My advice is "relax", no one is trying to ignore you, unless they're trying to ignore you. just kidding.....Use a cell phone if you want instant communication, email is for things that can wait.
