How about people who unnecessarily abbreviate typed words. Folks, it's not a telegraph or a classified ad in the newspaper. You are not paying by the letter/word!

In work e-mails I especially hate:
Thx
Thnks
Pls
BGA

If you don't have time to type the vowel in 'thanks' then your gratitude is clearly not sincere. Fuck you for not even faking it well.

Visitors who decide that my refrigerator/cabinets/closets/kitchen drawers are not properly organized and decide to do it for me. Then I get to spend ages searching for the stuff they've moved.

BTW, not once has a male visitor done this.



:D:D I think I just unwittingly did this to my boyfriend!! HOWEVER, in my defence, I was not trying to re-organise; I was merely trying to put the dishes away. :P

Official documents that come back with my name misspelled...

I don't mind it too much when someone's just not paying attention, but I've just gotten an email back from the tax-man telling me they cannot change my details because those details are official... So according to *THEM*, I am wrong and from now on I should spell my name with an "h" ("Nathalie"). I can already see more problems coming from this... Oh no, madame... We cannot accept your passport as your name (Natalie) doesn't match our govn't records...

Funnily enough, when I opened my bank account here, they designated me as Mr... I've tried everything to get them to fix it but 2.5 year on I STILL have problems with them refusing to do stuff for me because I'm not allowed to use my "husband's" account...

Hmmm... :S:S:|
