The study of 4,000 users also showed people checking their email with regularity from the following unusual and perhaps inappropriate locales:

• In bed in their pajamas: 67%

• From the bathroom: 59%

• While driving: 50%

• In a bar or club: 39%

• In a business meeting: 38%

• During happy hour: 34%

• While on a date: 25%

• From church: 15% (up from 12% last year)

According to the study – which can be read in full at crazyforemail.com – the most email addicted cities are New York, Houston, and Chicago, with San Francisco coming in at a surprisingly low 5th.

The report also includes a word to the wise regarding email sign-offs: 25% report being annoyed by "xoxo" while "cheers" irritated 13% of the respondents.
