[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know how people warped the whole "Please get back to me at your earliest convenience" into messages where they say "I'll get back to you at my earliest convenience". But it's astonishingly rude sounding and ignorant sounding.

If any of you have this on your outgoing message, do you realize the difference?

Here's a good post about it too.

Speaking of common things that few people notice are kinda insulting, how about when you thank a clerk, cashier, or waitress for something extremely ordinary like giving you a menu or handing you a receipt, and their reply is “No problem.”  No $hit it’s NO PROBLEM…it’s part of your job & the very LEAST you could do. It would be a problem if you DIDN’T do it.

But if it’s something that’s not expected, like bringing you extra napkins when she sees you spilled something on your lap, then “no problem” is a perfectly fine response. [/quote]
