Signs off with “Worst” instead of “Best”
End it “Retards” and if anyone says anything you can claim it’s a typo.
Pest wishes.
I always say Thank You, and give a good amount if snark back in my emails for dumb shit.
'Hey, our guys aren’t getting their paperwork until a day or two after we send them." - manager at my work
“Did you check to make sure the schedules were being sent in a timely manner?” - vendor support
“Thats what she’s saying right there, a day or two after is not timely” - me
Silence.
I feel seen! If you get “regards” instead of “best regards” you should know you’re on my shit list.
I’d do the the opposite. I generally use the default “cordially”. But if someone pissed me off I’d use something overly formal and polite like “amicably thanking you for your eventual reply over the matter; if it pleases you”
A great passive-aggressive way of saying “As I already told you, you dumb pile of bull feces” is “As mentioned in my last mail, …”
istg i have to write those words into every reply i give. Do people even read the words i write? Can they read? Should i give up?
Tepid regards.
In German you can use “Guten Tag” as greeting when you see meet someone. When writing mail, you can also use it as greeting even if it is not that common, to use “Guten Tag” in written conversations.
BUT: When you use “Guten Tag” at the END it’s like a “Fuck off!” (regardless of written or in verbal communication) without being an insult.
“Hochachtungsvoll”
That’s my secret, I always sign off my emails as “Regards”.
Until you accidentally send an angry email with “Retards” 😳
I once began an email with, “Hell Alice,” (on accident).
As per my email dated…
I end all my work emails with "Thanks* and let the inflection be my own
Sucks to your regards
Have a day.
Well, the opposite is them wishing for your death I guess. So at least it’s hoping your still alive tomorrow.
I prefer “have a week” because that’s the minimum amount of time I want away from them.
I’m going to have to keep this one in mind…
