That one annoys me too. There's a chap I work with who always puts 'regds' when finishing an email instead of 'regards' I think it looks extremely unprofessional but he doesn't work for me so it's not my concern.

In relation to shortening random words - I just can't figure out what they think they're saving, it's not time as often it's in an automatic email signature, it's not cost as the email doesn't increase or decrease in price, it's not space as you could type thousands of words before the aggregated letters saved added up to even a kilobyte. It's just idiotic as it doesn't achieve anything other than make me think they've got questionable literary skills.

I never get the Rgds/Rgs/R/Regrds thing. Firstly it is unprofessional and secondly, just put it in your signature! :P

Look down, back up. Where are you?
You're on Boat Drinks, reading the signature your signature could be like.
I'm on a computer.

People saying "we're seeing history being made" - you're always seeing history being made you plum, it's just you don't feel the need to comment on most history as it's inconsequential to anyone it doesn't immediately affect.

When a lorry goes past and a second later there's a gust of wind that carefully places a speck of grit in your eye. The amount of times I've suddenly turned into crazy squint guy at the side of the road is silly.
