peeve of the day

[PawDawg]

Receiving emails that have a little green tree-looking symbol that says something like, "think of the environment before printing this."

I print it and reply on it in writing and then fax it back to the person so it generates two sheets of paper - one I paid for with my own money which I can spend any legal way I wish, and one they pay for from their fax machine.

If anyone feels compelled to comment, please don't forget to include your fax number.

Heck, include your mailing address too. I own lots of Internatiinal Paper and Exxon stock so I may just buy a stamp and send you a letter so that not only the timber industry is supported, but also the petroleum industry since the mail trucks run on gasoline or diesel.

Greatness!

This is better the "filling up the shopping cart story".

Dad, is that you???

He would have said the same thing! I am so proud.

Restaurants who buy their silverware from Sam's Club. Forks bend with ease.

...when people call flatware silverware.

[Dawgpix]

Cutlery has two definitions: 1. cutting/edged implements used for serving or eating food; 2. eating utensils in general. Without further context, an American is likely to assume the first definition (knives), while a Brit is more likely to go for the generic meaning. Silverware also means eating utensils, especially silver-colored ones, though nowadays, most silverware is not actually made of silver. An American synonym that does not imply anything about the silver content (or lack thereof) is flatware.

Students who don't know the difference between "Log off" and "Shut down."

People who send me paper documents. It's not that I am an eco tree hugger but I just don't have a place to put them. Well, I do. After I have scanned and saved it (if I really need it) the paper document goes into the real trash. I really wish that everyone would send me pdf's or emails. Then I can print if needed. So CHIPDOG, please don't inundate me with paper.

That may rise above a peeve.

That doesn't bother me. However, when Tech alum do this it really does.

As a side note: How many BBBers have lsu crap around the house. I don't believe I do even inadvertently. I'm guessing very few of us.

Well I certainly don't.

But I do have one Razorback tshirt that I wear once a year when they play the chiggers.
