My pet peeve is when someone does the "Hi, I have a question/problem" message without actually sending the question. It's hard to get that out of your head after seeing it. And they always seem to send the question and immediately go to lunch or a long meeting.
I explained to some people that it doesn't work well with my anxiety to see "Hey I think I found a bug in X" and then just get no further details for two hours. One person has actually listened and writes me up an email or whole long message now. Everyone else responded by saying it seemed too rude and inconsiderate to not ask about your day first so they continue to do that... You can still start your message with "How was your weekend?" but just type the rest of the message too without waiting for a response...
