email

It never ceases to amaze us that Twitter users are able to pack clever comedy into a 280 character limit. We try to fill our feed with funny writers and comedians to make our timeline a little more palatable. So we figured we'd share the wealth of tweets with you. If you like what you see, give these funny folks a follow. They deserve the recognition. 

A lot has pissed us off in 2020. Y'know, the pandemic, racism, unemployment, natural disasters. But through it all, there's one thing people can't seem to let go of. And that's starting emails with "Hope this email finds you well." The near-meaningless phrase verges on insulting. No, this email is not finding me well, Susan. We live in hell! 

Earlier this week, Twitter users started meme-ing the well-meaning sentence by showing the world how the email really does find us: miserable, losing our minds, and with very little hope. And speaking as someone behind a computer just trying to stay calm, the memes are extremely relatable.

Boss-employee confrontations aren't always terrible, as it turns out. Imgur user DiscriminativeStimulus posted an email correspondence with their boss when the company made a mistake by paying them too much in over time. Shockingly, both parties acted like rational adults and justice was had all the same, which gives us a tiny bit more hope in this world.

Dear God (no pun intended), this story is a hoot if we ever saw one. When this girl didn't get invited to her friend's bachelorette party in Vegas, she made a scene until the bride decided to invite her. It doesn't stop there though: she then sent out an email with a list of very Christian-influenced "rules" for the bride and her friends, and let's just say they're quite tame for a bachelorette getaway in Sin City...

As lovers of schadenfreude, we relish any lurid tales of embarrassing moments. And Twitter user @mo87mo87 unwittingly started a thread that gives us our favorite kind of entertainment. After sharing one of his most shameful email fails, other people were inspired to share their muck-ups, which range from hilarious to downright awkward. We've put together most of our favorites, but you can enjoy more cringey tales of e-communication over on the thread.

While this hasn't been approved by the FDA, we happen to think that memes should be a part of a balanced breakfast. There's no mood-boosting substitute for silly shitposts, and coffee can only put so much pep in your step. We put these memes together to help you wake up on the right side of the bed. What you go from there is up to you.

When you spot a scammer in the wild, sometimes you just gotta take that golden trolling opportunity!
