Annoyances

Because they might have other things to do right now that are more important, but don't want you to think that they're ignoring you. Feels like you're complaining either about them being courteous, or them not considering anything you ask to automatically be more important than anything else they have on.

If it were a case where I had to regularly return to ask the person, "Did you get xyz done?" then fine. This particular rant was inspired by someone who every single time someone asks her to do even the simplest task, including answering a question she should be able to answer on-demand, emails everyone back that she will respond. You literally just did--but didn't answer the damn question!

I must respond

That's incredibly stupid.

Why waste time writing an "I'll get to it" email when you could actually be getting to it?

One of my department heads would scream about this every day at quarters. She was later fired for freaking the CO (who was also fired).

"Sorry for your lost" (sorry for your loss)

"Mine as well" (might as well)

Is this one of those phrases that’s been truncated from a longer one, sort of like “Speak of the Devil and he shall appear,” or is it just people not realizing there should be a contraction there?

Also Hawley said irregardless in his speech last night and I’m still bothered by it.

The people saying it that way are just idiots.

I could care less about this conversation, and it drives me crazy when someone axes me a question.

I wish I still had the attention span to read.

my boss recommended that to me, so i read it and it was pretty freaking stupid, but she for awhile was talking to me about it and excrement and she'd like try to use the strategies and would lean on me for support, so i had to support her while she'd send me quotes from in in mattermost from it.

really freaking dumb book tho, but it did actually help my career, in a backhanded way.

In college, there was a book called The 48 Laws of Power that some frat acquaintances of mine were raving about.  You could tell when each had read it because they immediately became orders of magnitude douchier.
