Re: Your irrational pet peeves
How about those people who send return receipt on their email? It seems to be a big CYA move.

I don't always use the return receipt option. But when I do, it's for people who habitually ignore emails that were sent multiple times.

Countless times someone has responded to my umpteenth email to them with "I never got this." I simply reply with the read receipt.PensFanInDC wrote:Yes.

I'm a little less formal.Kraftster wrote:How about not following the proper etiquette in email exchanges regarding working towards use of first names. In my mind, the script plays out over 4 emails. I just had it followed perfectly, and I can't tell you how refreshing that is. ...
If someone's name is Robert, I'll type that in the email until they sign an email with Bob or Bronco and then start using that name. I rarely give them a Mr. Jones. Too stuffy.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Gender reveal parties. Get the **** over yourselves. We'll know what the gender is from the 2.5 million photos you post on facebook by the time the kid is 6 months old.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Me either. People have children and don't say what gender the child is until they are 6 months old? That's revolting on so may levels. That makes me want to friend these people on fb just to give them a what for.MalkinIsMyHomeboy wrote:I had no idea that was a thing.DudeMan2766 wrote:Gender reveal parties.

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
Very much a thing. Rampant. Only last week did I find out from my friends wife just exactly how they work. Because I see videos ( on facebook of course) of parents cutting a cake and it either has blue or pink filling, and the parents would start balling. Apparently a lot of people just have their doctor send the results to the bakery or whatever they're paying to do some novelty act so they can throw a party revealing the sex. A video popped up on facebook tonight of another persons party so I'm like I gotta see this. She was in front of the whole room reading this giant kids like book that rhymed and what not. It was like she was on stage. The whole time you just hear cameras snapping and flashbulbs going off. lol the girls reading this 2 minute long nursery rhyme and the final page of the book shows the gender, and the crowd goes nuts. I'm sorry, that is absolutely ridiculous.MalkinIsMyHomeboy wrote:I had no idea that was a thing.DudeMan2766 wrote:Gender reveal parties. Get the **** over yourselves.

Also, at first I thought a "gender reveal party" was like a 20 year old coming out as another gender or something. Which is equally stupid as what an actual gender reveal party

Re: Your irrational pet peeves
A gender reveal with a baby, unless something rare is going on in that area, is far worse.MalkinIsMyHomeboy wrote:Was waiting for one of those comments...PensFanInDC wrote:Would you prefer evite or traditional invitation?MalkinIsMyHomeboy wrote:I had no idea that was a thing.DudeMan2766 wrote:Gender reveal parties.
