People that over stuff paper towel dispensers so you either end up with one-third of a shredded paper towel or fourteen paper towels, with no in-between.

Whoever clipped their nails in this conference room and left the clippings behind.

"nice to e-meet you"


“br” always flummoxes me. (this is more a continental european thing possibly?)

can't believe we're at almost a decade of calling people disgusting savages for having harmless quirks of speech or manner

Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Monday, 13 January 2020 20:35 (six years ago)

excessive hyperbole is the ultimate act of disgusting savagery

You’ve heard of zone 1 joggers

Get ready for the well-meaning but even more infuriating sequel: New Year’s resolution zone 1 joggers

This is why I don’t run in public, unless to a bus I’m scared to miss.

santa clause four (suzy), Monday, 13 January 2020 20:44 (six years ago)

best regards


yes sorry i know what it means it just always generates a moments pause. i think actually because i always initially think it’s short for the italian sign off un abbraccio which would rarely be appropriate in a work context.

Fizzles, Monday, 13 January 2020 20:45 (six years ago)

It’s not running in public, it’s specifically people who are very self important joggers and you absolutely must make way for them in the most crowded part of the city.

steer karma (gyac), Monday, 13 January 2020 20:59 (six years ago)

That’s all of them! I live bang in the centre of Z1 and the only healthy activity I aspire to in public is walking some kind of sighthound. Runners-up in self-important fitness assholism are Lincoln’s Inn legal types with early-morning personal trainer appointments in the Fields.

One of my first jobs my boss signed his emails simply 'Best' then his name. I thought he couldn't decide whether to say 'regards', 'wishes' etc.

kinder, Monday, 13 January 2020 22:23 (six years ago)

maybe he was saying he was the Best Jeff out of all Jeffs or something

papa stank (Neanderthal), Monday, 13 January 2020 22:32 (six years ago)

Yeah I considered that too!
Best,
kinder

kinder, Monday, 13 January 2020 23:00 (six years ago)

william shatner used to sign all of his tweets "my best, bill", sometimes shortening it to "MBB"

bidenfan69420 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 13 January 2020 23:06 (six years ago)

I like 'Best' as a sign-off

Dan S, Monday, 13 January 2020 23:07 (six years ago)

im a regardsman

bidenfan69420 (jim in vancouver), Monday, 13 January 2020 23:07 (six years ago)

_self-important fitness assholism_
Yup

calstars, Monday, 13 January 2020 23:10 (six years ago)

i am a 'Best' user too. its okay. definitely un-savage.

Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 16:35 (six years ago)

i switched from 'best regards' to 'cheers' like 18 months ago and it's been lifechanging tbh

que pasa picasso (bizarro gazzara), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 16:39 (six years ago)

I don't like 'cheers', I tolerate it as a blood sausage jolly good wut wut thing from olde Britaine but from anyone else it's even more of an eye roll

So in conclusion, just write your name at the bottom because apparently everything else is Savage

papa stank (Neanderthal), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 17:16 (six years ago)

Laters.

Frozen Mug (Tom D.), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 17:56 (six years ago)

I use 'best' more than half the time.

Yerac, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:00 (six years ago)

How do we feel about “Warm Regards”?

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:02 (six years ago)

"Moist Regards,"

Dan I., Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:05 (six years ago)

Great now my head goes to Moist Depends

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:05 (six years ago)

I have a correspondant who signs "Truly" which I absolutely adore but cannot come to adopt it myself

sorry everyone

cheers, vg

terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:34 (six years ago)

I've gotten where I sign emails with either just my first name (without a hyphen), or a hyphen and first initial (sometimes lower-case).

beard papa, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:38 (six years ago)

vg I think you should lean into it with a full cheerio

Suggest Banshee (Hadrian VIII), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 18:40 (six years ago)

I think we need to return to elaborate 19th century signoffs. Wouldn't getting an email that ended with "I Remain, Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend" or whatever brighten up your day?

shared unit of analysis (unperson), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:02 (six years ago)

the misplaced comma would dampen it a little

mark s, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:03 (six years ago)

Misplaced by contemporary standards, but when you see a letter in a novel by Dickens or Trollope or whoever, that's exactly how it's written. So you gotta go with it, for full accuracy.

shared unit of analysis (unperson), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:05 (six years ago)

Fuck off,

Neanderthal

P.S. And suck my dick

dickens definitely liked underlining his name too often, and i'm not claiming no literary figure in the 19th century ever mistakenby used a single comma to cut subject off from verb, but the correct form was this:
i:
"I Remain Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend,
Grawlix Unperson
ii: (or possibly, occasionally and ornately)
"I Remain, As God Is My My Witness, Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend,
Grawlix Unperson

mark s, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:37 (six years ago)

If Dickens used a fountain pen it’s totally excusable imo

steer karma (gyac), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:39 (six years ago)

he shd have used a red felt tip he's cancelled imo

mark s, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:42 (six years ago)

wot, americans are using "cheers"?

I sign off all my work emails correctly with "I love you"

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:45 (six years ago)

Many xposts but I don't actually mind 'best', I was just thrown by it first time.

kinder, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 20:30 (six years ago)

It'll be 'toodle pip' next.
