Haha yeah, it's almost like the comma makes it unintentionally insulting. YEAH THANKS, BRO

comma = as bad as "thanks". They hate you.
:dunno:
I don't even think it's more correct. Thanks Lee!
Thanks,
Channing.
Thanks Chaddock!

I see the comma as more genuine...

I have a little evil grin on my face right now because i save the comma for the passive aggressive moments lol (unless I'm writing formally).

In a similar vein, I used to work with a bunch of people who would sign off their emails with:
"v/r,
<person>"
At first I was like "dafuq is V/R?" so I asked and it's, apparently, "Very Respectfully,"...
Wait.
No it fucking isn't. How much respect could you possibly have for me if you can't actually EVEN FUCKING TYPE OUT THE WORD RESPECTFULLY. KRISHNA'S HAIRY BALLSACK, THAT MIGHT BE THE MOST DISRESPECTFUL WAY TO SHOW RESPECT I'VE EVER SEEN YOU LAZY SACK OF HORSE SHIT.
What, were you sending me a telegram? Does your email provider charge you by the character? Did you send this email from your Nokia 6100 and you couldn't be troubled to press more than 888***777 after probably sending me an email showing me how you didn't read the email I just sent you but wanted to be "respectful"?
Fuck you. Automatic reflexive signs of "respect" aren't respectful at all.

Along Rex's lines on emails from cell phones, people who include in their auto-signature: "Please ignore any typos as this was sent from my iPhone 6+"
So because you are sending this from a phone you are apologizing in advance for not checking the spelling or possibility of auto-correct for your work emails? Does sending an email from your phone automatically give you a pass to be lazy?
Re: You know what really grinds my gears?! - ScottyB - 11-04-2015
at least the people you work with READ your emails. i'm going to start typing 4-letter words into my subject lines in all caps to see if anyone notices.
thanks, clients.

This is an actual cell phone email signature from a sales rep in Boston

you chose to live in baltimore, your opinions are invalid. That signature is frickin assome.
but in general, I agree, mobile signatures are dumb.
thanks, Jon.

I think the only use I can see for mobile signatures is to justify short replies.
Quote:Yea I will take a look at this tomorrow.

Sent using, the worst possible email client imaginable in all of the history of the universe, GOOD for Enterprise
But even with that potential justification, I still don't use a cell signature.

We just migrated to Office 365 and a new app that manages it on my phone and it has a super annoying email tagline that I haven't gotten around to removing. It most definitely does not make mention of my inability to spell properly though

An inept IT/Communications team. We are migrating from Avaya to Cisco for phone services. Had the training on the new system yesterday to go live today. Come in this morning to plug in the new phone and download software (IT team does nothing for us) and nothing works. Oh we forgot to tell you Cisco doesn't go live until 10am. Oh and we also forgot half of your team covers a different region that won't go live until Dec 7th so they will have to use 2 separate desk phones. How no one has been fired yet, I do not know. :dunno:

Sigh we made a similar migration from Avaya to ThinkingPhones, which is absolute, ABSOLUTE garbage. But they gave us cool new touch screen phones that bring no real extra benefit? There was nothing wrong with our old system. Our field office was the first in the company to trial out the new system, and basically all of the feedback we gave to our communications engineers was that it was inferior, we experienced dropped calls and choppy call quality with clients, for some reason we started to get a LOT more junk phone solicitations on our work lines, etc. etc. But for some reason we went through with the purchase and migration. Now probably 75% of the time on the phone with reps, they have problems hearing the call. Even the mobile and forwarding apps don't work well. I basically just set up a forward for my work calls to go to my cell phone and make all work related calls from that now, it's that bad.
Seriously, coming from a solutions-based selling background where trials and trial feedback are common, i have NO idea how these telecom system reps get in the door and actually close these deals with such awful products.

Cars. Cars really grind my gears. Every time I look at one of my cars recently something breaks. Got an 02 Sensor code on the M3 last night. It's pre-cat and only $60 bucks so I'm just going to order a new one from Amazon and get it over with. I fucked around too long on my xterra with a pre-cat o2 sensor and it ended up ruining the cat.
Speaking of a bad cat on my xterra, the stupid exhaust bolts won't come off without twisting off so I'm just letting someone else deal with that bullshit. Also, one of the calipers started partially hanging up in the front and warped that rotor and now makes the steering wheel shake while driving it all the time. Apparently calipers aren't the xterra's strong suit. After fixing this one, I'll have had to work on 3 outta 4 of them.
But hey, at least I'm pretty sure I'm selling the only one of my 3 cars with no issues next week. Some guy is flying in from North Dakota to buy it.
Edit: The guy just booked his flight to come buy it next Tuesday. I don't think I would want to do a flight and a 24 hour drive to buy a car, but hey whatever works for him.

Also when people send you calendar invites without bothering to ask your schedule or, at the very least, use an outlook scheduler assistant. Especially when it's the same day
