Kisses on the end of work emails. Even serious ones!! Got to say I've worked in commerce since 1979 and I have NEVER in my life seen a kiss (x) at the end of a work related email, letter, fax, memo, telex or any other medium of communication. And the day that I do is the day I retire. I see it quite often on texts or WhatsApp messages, it’s slightly disconcerting when it’s from one of the younger lads at work. |

When he was younger, my son only understood LOL to mean Little Old Lady.

I only use LOL when I've literally laughed out loud. But this morning, the thing that's grinding my gears is that I'm trying to write some blogs but I'm still drunk from last night |

People who join Teams meetings 5 minutes early - it’s online, you don’t need to be early (and I don’t want pointless chit chat beforehand)

Adding -gate to any scandal* (The Watergate scandal wasn't Watergategate) * Although there are so many at the moment I accept that a shorthand naming system is useful. Perhaps we could adopt an alphabetical system like we do for storms. Atrocious Buggeration Conman Dickhead Embarrassing Fraudulent Gutless etc |

Teenagers ambling in mobs along the footpath. Teenagers riding their bikes on the pavement on the way to school. (Presumably they have a better method for dealing with the mobs.) Teenagers (in particular) absorbed in their mobile phones who don't look up as they come towards you. And who veer around the path at the same time. Grumpy? Moi? |
