I don't understand what's with people and email. My inbox is always zero, I get the seldom update email from Google/Facebook/whatever, but that's it. If I have to contact someone email is the last thing I use, first I try Facebook, text and calling. I disabled mails from Facebook, Amazon et similia. I guess the only thing that I do that most people don't is that I don't subscribe to all kinds of crap and I don't put…

Do you have a job? It's easy to deal with personal emails (99% of the time they're marketing crap, and the 1% that isn't is something nice from someone you like). It's the work emails that get you (and what I assume this is targeted at, given the "come back from vacation" part)

I'm disappointed this isn't something similar to psdoom [1], as I originally imagined it might be. What could be more natural a metaphor, for the cognitive sink of heavy and mostly superfluous inbox traffic, than headcrabs and headcrab zombies? [1] http://psdoom.sourceforge.net

I'll make sure out frontend lead takes this into account for v2.
