What's mildly irritating you today?

"Please consider the environment before printing this email."

Bite me. Because really, all I want to do is sit around printing emails for no good reason ALL DAY LONG.

What a stupid line (almost as stupid as professionals who have a cutesy saying that attaches to every email they send out. I like signature lines here in the Cellar. In work, it's unnecessary and annoying...especially when they are posting to a listserv that repeats every line of every entry in every reply.)

"Please, consider my sanity when attaching your stupid not-clever saying or puerile platitude when replying to my question."

edit: I forgot to mention the cutesy sayings are always in a cutesy font and in a cutesy color. What are we, 9?

That's super annoying. They probably have no idea.

I always thought that was a security thing since the first time I got one of those emails it was from a friend who works at a place that has a lot of proprietary information.
So I thought "Consider the environment" meant something along the lines of "Don't just print this out and leave it where anybody can see it."

And I thought "If it's really that sensitive should you even be emailing it in the first place?"

And as for considering the environment maybe they should have thought about that before inventing computers, one of the biggest environmental disasters the world has ever seen.
