Or they say John and I which is INCORRECT but they think they are CORRECT! It's John and ME!

I don't know who started this trend, but it has got to stop.

Yes!!! It is infuriating.

My direct report who, along with her teenage-kids, is sick every other month. How? I know that some people are more susceptible to colds, etc., but this annoys me in an irrational way.

I told my staff that if my door is physically open they should feel free to knock and come in to talk to me about anything.

Yet every time someone actually does this, it irritates me.

People who do not write their child’s name clearly inside any article of clothing that might possibly be taken off at school.

In non-uniform school... I used to not label things because my kid should know which items are his in lost and found.

But I started doing it a couple of years ago with stickers, and it's been so helpful. It's remarkable how my 11 year old wouldn't recognize his lunchbox without his name on a label lol.

But he did have a NFL hoodie go missing. DS said "William" stole it. The after school employee said "I saw William take the hoodie from the coat hook and saw him rip a sticker out of the inside. But he denied it so there's nothing I can do. He said it's his. "

i just did a tour of best buys, trying to find some specific led strips.

as a longtime best buy devotee, i was shocked that all 3 stores i visited were completely understaffed -- during the holidays.

it makes me think they are just giving up.


...also a best buy employee reading texts while i was explaining my very important led needs.

Also, the term “super cute,” when spoken by a supposed adult.

Please add “bestie” to this list.

Someone please start a S/O Christmas Brag Letter thread. I'm dying to compare what everyone brags about and who is the worst.

I have an acquaintance who not only sends a Christmas brag letter, she encloses it in a glitter card, so glitter gets all over everywhere! My dude, we worked together 20 years ago. Is this passive aggression or what?!

Acquaintance who sends a Christmas brag letter. I hid her posts on Facebook and now received the brags in hard copy form. She's in her early 40's, and no one else I know does this.

Oh yeah, and the people who saunter across, wasting time. Don't they know they are supposed to do the scrabble of gratitude?

I get annoyed if I stop the car to let you proceed and then you just wave me on. Are you crossing or not? I already stopped the car, freaking walk already.

The constant St Jude commercials on tv right now.
