They are idiots, then -- in their model, all that excess crap is an active impediment to efficient reading of the email. That would drive me freaking nuts. (The only thing to quibble with what you do is misspelling "sincerely," which 9/10 of people would never even notice, but my alter-ego isn't Stuffy Grammarian for nothing!)Yes, they want flowering titles and praises;

Dear Mark,
Annexed with this mail is the requested service's budget, awaiting for reply.
Sincerily,

Not being used to new much lighter and faster road bike and completely eating it on a curb in front of a Sheriff who stopped to witness me wailing loudly in shock on the ground. On the plus side, not hurt badly, just going to have a super bruised hand by end of the day/tomorrow :(
When you tell customer that the repairs on their vehicle will take approximately. 5-6 hours, and they decide to wait at the dealership on the repairs. Then at the 2 hour mark begin asking every 15-20 mins if its ready yet.

People who make eating noises in my earshot, testing the limits of my already questionable sanity.
Basically I have misophonia. It's a disorder that fills you with extreme uncontrollable anger/rage/panic/hatred as soon as you hear certain benign sounds.
Emphasis on extreme, and on uncontrollable. I literally cannot control my reaction. It's like emotional agony for me.
EDIT: Also, keeping your mouth closed when you eat helps to put a lid on the noises, a lot. In fact, eating with your mouth closed is mandatory in my presence.
My wife is absolutely incapable of chewing gum without popping it with every bite. I won't let her chew gum around me anymore as I have lost all tolerance for that sound.

You know what I find really annoying? Walking down the street and there's a guy who has to walk right in the middle who won't just go right, or at least left or...if you would just please pick one...just left, go left, right, whatever if you'll just...wonderful and now there's people walking in the opposite direction past those sides and I have to keep creeping behind him and NO DON'T TAKE OUT YOUR DAMN PHONE WILL YOU PICK A F*%*ING SIDE AND NO DON'T STOP DON'T STOP MOTHERF&^%ER MOVE!I'd *love* it if it were only people on smart devices.
My wife and I go on lunch walks. We walk side by side. When we see people coming in the opposite direction, I move behind her so we're in single file on the right side of the sidewalk.
It is utterly appalling how many pairs of people refuse to extend us the same courtesy, even after they've seen us do it. They just keep walking abreast, taking up most of the sidewalk.
The latest offenders took up so much of the sidewalk they would have forced NobodysWife off the sidewalk entirely and into the bushes, had NobodysWife not chosen to just go ahead and run into the offending party. Even then, not even a "pardon me" or anything -- just a minor collision and a refusal to even acknowledge that anything had occurred.
Appalling!
(Being 5'6", 200 lbs, and built like a brick, we've decided I'm going to go in front henceforth and just bowl down people who can't yield us at least 1/3 of the sidewalk.)
Along these lines, I can't stand people who use those side-by-side strollers. How much of a @$$-hat do you have to be to take up that much room, and in a place with aisles, like stores and such.
"Oh but I don't want my children to be jealous of each other and have one sitting in the back all the time. Or fighting over who gets to sit in the front." AAARRGGGHHH!!! I bet these are the same people that think sports shouldn't have winners and losers and everyone should get a trophy at the end of the day.

Whenever people go side-by-side and take up the entire sidewalk or hallway, all I see is this.

as this was one of the first real fights I had to break up as an older cousin, I approve of side by side seating. It's not a matter of avoiding jealousy, just avoiding headaches.
And the love of winners and losers in sports competitions confuses me greatly. This may be due to an inordinate number of fair weather fans aroundabouts.

Upstate New york. Where is it?
If you live in the city, upstate is wherever you can no longer stick out your arm and get a yellow cab.
If you live in westchester, upstate starts at bear mountain.
If you live near bear mountain upstate starts at Albany and is divided by "the thruway" running east/west.
If you live in Albany upstate starts at the Adirondack park.
And if you live in the Adirondack park upstate is known as "Canada."
And if you live west of the Adirondacks, "Upstate" is a stupid and useless term used only by people who live in NYC, Westchester, and Long Island which means, "anywhere in New York State that isn't NYC, Westchester, or Long Island."

Reminds me of a joke I heard that I believe went:"To a non-American, a yankee is an American
To an American, a yankee is a northern American
To a northern American, a yankee is a northeastern American
To a northeastern American, a yankee is a New Englander
To a New Englander, a yankee is a Vermonter
And to a Vermonter, a yankee is someone who has pie for breakfast."Anyways, stupid real world things? Can't recall anything at the moment that sounds funny. Just depressing.
To a Bostonian, "Yankee" is a member of that damned baseball team you hate.

When I lived in Troy, NY (just north of Albany), we used the term "Upstate" specifically to emphasize that NY State was not affiliated with NYC (aka "part of Jersey!"). Long Island and Westchester were part of Connecticut, as far as we knew.

The begging got a little aggresive and started to cross the line into a mugging. I pointed out that I weighed more than three of them combined, and I was from new york.

People saying that "You can't change the Second Ammendment". I respect your conviction, but yes you can. For evidence, you need only look at a little thing called Prohibition.
With the correct procedures, you can of course propose amendments to amendments.
There's a reason why they're called amendments: They are changes to the constitution.
Some folks (called the anti-federalist party) refused to sign and ratify the constitution until a bill of rights was included, and that's why we have a bill of rights.

There's a reason why they're called amendments: They are changes to the constitution.
When the constitution came out people thought that the amendments weren't necessary because the government didn't have the power to do any of those things. The constitution was written as "the government may..." so that anything that wasn't specifically listed couldn't be done.
It didn't take long for that to shift to the government can anything that wasn't specifically prohibited under the "neccesary and proper" clause, as the whole having a functioning government thing required a lot of secondary powers to actually work, like establishing a bank to do.. well. anything.
Maybe it's because I mostly grew up with manga, but I generally dislike the western comics trend of perfectly elliptical speech bubbles, to be honest
Hand-drawn speech bubbles are easier to stack and fit neatly into panels and artwork, and i find them more intuitive to follow when reading.

A stupid real-world thing you notice when you're a trans person with a chosen name is that on registration forms and whatnot, people tend to not be specific about whether they just want your actual name, or your government name.

Not being used to new much lighter and faster road bike and completely eating it on a curb in front of a Sheriff who stopped to witness me wailing loudly in shock on the ground. On the plus side, not hurt badly, just going to have a super bruised hand by end of the day/tomorrow :(
I have two bikes - one for work which is really low, has no gears, and handles like the bicycle equivalent of a tank - one private one which is a fairly regular city bike that's about 3-4 times as fast as the work one. Every spring when I start using the private bike again I have at least four or five incidents where I nearly hit the curb because I've forgotten how much faster and wider it takes the curves.

My wife is absolutely incapable of chewing gum without popping it with every bite. I won't let her chew gum around me anymore as I have lost all tolerance for that sound.
You know how people
have these little habitsThat get you down. Like Bernie.
Bernie like to chew gum.
No, not chew. POP.
So I came home this one day
And I am really irritated, and I'm
looking for a bit of sympathy
and there's Bernie layin'
on the couch, drinkin' a beer
and chewin'. No, not chewin'.
Poppin'. So, I said to him,
I said, "you pop that
gum one more time..."
and he did.
So I took the shotgun off the wall
and I fired two warning shots...
...into his head.

Sometimes, I get this lonely feeling,
Like I'm a fish on my own- swimming upstream.
While all the other travelers head down-street,
I ponder my existence and wonder while reeling-
At the blinding I receive from the drivers around.
Would life be better if I conformed?
Would friends surround, popularity abound?
Would I- could I see past the brights?
Would I be any better, driving with my highlights?
Would I fit in if I helped their eyes burn?
Or is the high road the choice to keep my headlights low?
Why can't I roll down the window, tell them to learn:
"To keep the thrice-damned high-beams off when there are others in your disco show."
Seriously, Mr. LED, why the hell do you need those up
when you're less than 12 feet behind me?
Is my eyesight and your safety of such insignificance
that you would deny us both so that you have a good view of my vehicular license
plate as I flail an arm from the front seat;
trying to scream over your sub-woofer's sick beat;
covering my mirrors and trying to signal-
"If you turned down your lights, you wouldn't be the world's biggest A-Hole!"
