Pet Peeves

[420seriouscat69]

Without knowing I do it, I do this a lot when I'm annoyed with a discussion or don't like what I'm hearing, etc... It's almost lost me my life with my wife and I just had a coworker text me on the side about it, because they felt the same, but i'm worried how much I do it, without knowing it.

I pretty much only use "thanks." I also try to keep my emails under 100 words whenever possible, so I don't add fluff to the beginning, either.

How it should be, all of that.

Coke freestyle machines - the syrup to carbonation ratio is always way off

I'm a big warmest regards, take care, or all the best guy.

I'd never heard that "Best," was passive-aggressive.

I don’t drink pop anymore, but those things were the worst.

I have a coworker (who I love btw) use "thanks a billion". It's autosaved to all of her emails. Sometimes she writes it out, so it shows twice.

maybe she is trying to get to a billion thankses

I kind of wish the Coke man would set the mixtures instead of the local shop/restaurant doing it.  It's so hit and miss, that I have my favorite places for fountain drinks but sometimes they are mixed incorrectly.

Does your wife know about this???

We have an open marriage, KP. At a swingers party tonight. They hired a sitter at the party to watch the kids.

There is a fine line between something being a pet peeve and enraging me and this sign I walk by quite a bit is very close to it

That tree is mostly now made of dog pee

This is stupid, goddamn dogs aren't doing to hurt that tree.

And they can’t even read!

I mean it's obviously not written for the dog. It's for an adult human on their way to get a latte!

I will say there are a bunch of signs aimed at dogs not peeing in the little fenced sidewalk gardens like this:



Some are slightly obnoxious but I can see dogs actually doing damage to flowers and the signs aren't as infuriating overall so I let it slide

[michigancat]

love weird emails selling things completely unrelated to what I do

subject: michigancat, we tried, but I guess everything is OK

Back on the topic of email signatures I saw something last week that peeved me to the point of rage but I need to know if this guy is an outlier or if this is an emerging trend.  Underneath all the basic contact info this guy listed a bunch of personal crap like you would see in a dating app profile or something.   

Examples:
Avocations - Opera, Food and Wine (Certified Specialist of Wine)
Fun Fact - was film critic at Cannes Film Festival

I have never seen anything remotely like that. I'd be pretty tempted to send a bottle of Boone's Farm wine over to that guy's house for Christmas.

I personally would do my best to avoid any and all interactions with that person forever.

Not a pet peeve but there was a relay tech for a utility we did work for who would change his signature to include minions or some snarky quote any time he didn't get his way, I actually thought it was funny.

I've seen companies who try to be cheeky and fun do things like this. But it's been a while
