One of the worst - I don't know if it's still there - was a Gmail message something like "Hooray! Your inbox is empty."
Well that's great if you worship Inbox Zero. But what about me?
Maybe I'm anxiously waiting for news on a family member's illness and hospitalization.
Maybe I'm waiting for my lawyer to get back to me on an important case.
It's not hard to imagine any number of circumstances where I would not say "hooray!" when I see my inbox is empty.

- flatcakes 3y agoSame with slack when it congratulates you for catching up on messages. Each app/service assumes you are able to take the afternoon off if you happen to have 0 widgets in your widget list.
- arccy 3y agoit congratulates you for not having a pile of unknowns, not that you have nothing to do
- Too 3y agoI believe the hooray is only presented that way in the spam folder.
