Nailed it. This is how email works.
If you want to ensure i de-prioritise your request, request a read receipt or send a follow up email the next day.
If you don’t want me to ever do anything for you promptly ever again call me to check whether I got your email.

I know a guy that calls before the email even reaches my inbox. “I just sent you an email…”
We end up waiting on the phone until I say “oh, there it is”. To which he asks “what do you think”. So I have to stop the world and read the fucking thing while he’s waiting on the phone so I can give him a comment…
That is the most stupid use of time ever.
