just in case you want to know what REALLY pisses me off….

Here are the highlight – I’ll fill in details later:

• Lazy People in Parking Lots
  • It drives me nuts when I’m stuck on a parking lot behind some moron who’s waiting for the family of 8 to unload 3 months worth of groceries and drive off so said lazy moron can have their spot because the empty one 3 cars down is just too far for him or her to walk.
• Email ForwardsForwardsForwards
  • It’s best to turn off the feature that adds another row of pointy brackets ">" Then, after clicking ‘Forward’, delete all the stuff on top -all the mailing info from all the other forwards – until the email you’re about to send starts with the actual message. Then, if needed, clean up the subject line and delete any excessive “Fwd”s there. AND, when forwarding an attachment, make sure you’re right at the attachment before forwarding – otherwise, the next recipient has to open multiple ‘attachments’, one at a time, before getting to the actual message.
• Total Lack of Common Sense (and yes, I annoy myself when it happens to me)
• Bad Grammar
  • My current main one is the inappropriate use of ‘myself’ – and I’m amazed how many even highly educated people misuse the word. I’ll hear stuff like: "We’ll have a meeting with Joe, Mary, and myself." – Yeah – last time I met with myself, I was the only one there. I tie my shoes MYSELF, I drive MYSELF, I sometimes like to be by MYSELF, but my meetings will be between Joe, Mary, and ME! I know it’s not my language, but I still like it clean.
