Maybe I've worked with women way too long but if I send someone an email and they begin their response with "Hi [first name]!" I get incredibly pissed. That's what women do when they want to be condescending and arrogant but can't let their bitchy voice do all of the heavy lifting.

How would you prefer one responds to emails?  Dear sir?  Salutations?  Ahoy hoy?

I like @SHOOTER12's answer but just get to the damn point. Type the email out and remove the condescending greeting.

Hi is condescending ?  

In context it absolutely is condescending. I've worked with enough women to know when to hit delete on an email that begins like that.

Evidently the poors, ie; people that listen to MM, cannot afford Bluetooth headphones.

the increasing number of names for small, easy to peel citrus.  mandarin wasn't cute enough so they went with clementine, which also wasn't cute enough so they came up with cuties, then halos when the two companies that used the cuties brand split, and now everyone has their own goddamn brand name for a sack of mandarins. 

 

 

(and before you @me, i know that mandarin is one of the original citrus, clementine is a hybrid of a mandarin and another citrus, and there's several other hybrids that are also sold as mandarins or clementines depending on the season and orchard, which only a botanist would care about because they're all pretty much the same culinarily)

I thought it was just different company names like Sunkist, Dole, etc.

Too much to FIFY, but it’s even worse when you’re walking through the grocery and some fuckface is talking on their speaker phone with their mom or some shit, all loud and obnoxious and not paying attention to where they’re going

Freaking barn swallows nesting in the overhang at my entryway. Stupid birds are protected and sure as I sit here my neighbors will turn me in if they see me plunking one. So I have to power wash down the nesting site 2-3X/day to keep them from establishing.

When you've got one of those rock-hard and semi-jagged BB shaped boogers at the top of your nostril, and instead of coming out quickly and quietly, it retreats into that little secret trapdoor that feels like a direct connection into the depths of your brain and then makes you fight like you're reeling in a fucking marlin.

Spray some bleach on those areas before the start to nest.

They will not come after that.

Those little yellow stickmen holding the orange flag does not give you and your bike riding kids the right to take over the entire street while I'm trying to drive on it.

Paint the porch ceiling sky blue and they won't come back. They think it is open sky. We did it and it worked for us. We first hung the plastic owls and they built nest on the Owls head. I kid you not.

Haint blue.  My front porch is the same way.  No mud daubers, no bugs, all clean all the time.

They're tortoises, you dummy.

And you have two of them on opposing sides of your street.  I laugh at them everytime I walk my dogs down your street in the morning.

Gonna relocate them to your driveway while your hugging your pillow.

You've never noticed the green laser dot have you?

I just drove down the street and two of the three stick men are laying on their sides.

Why the fuck doesn't anyone seem to make a really lightweight, low-impact, no-BS free antivirus program. Over the years I've been through AVG, Bitdefender, and now Kaspersky Free and they inevitably decide that their shit needs a bunch of extra modules and "features" I don't want, and past a certain point you're forced to accept it because they won't release virus database updates unless you update the core application to the bloated version.

This is the correct answer. Once I enabled Windows Defender and put Malwarebytes on my parents’ computer, they’ve managed not to fuck it up for the past several years.

Before that I would have to wipe their hard drive once or twice a year because it was unusable with all the malware. They’re olds that click on every link they are sent.
