Things that I find mildly irritating: After being confused for several days, discovering that TAC and Katt changed their forum names to Mr. Crabs and The Walrus. Sheesh! Here I am, still fairly new to the forum, and trying to get to know folks, and just as I think I'm finally making some headway... some of them change their names. AAAAAAHHHHHH! Is this a normal thing? I just need to know so I can be prepared next time

(walks away muttering to myself, raising my hands in the air and also trying to pull the little bit of hair out that I have left)

Ditto. It took me at least a week to figure out TAC/Crabs and even longer with Kox/Walrus.

Running joke by the mods on Katt's Roulette he's running.

Well it's some comfort that I'm not the only one who got mixed up

Read the thread. You'll get a chuckle.

Nothing good going on in that thread.

Thanks, I think I'll take a gander this weekend.

More like WalrusKox

Brother Lion... it’s indeed just a gag at the moment. Name changes are rarely done. Avatar changes ... that’s what always fucks with me.

The Walrus · « **Reply #3723 on:** June 26, 2020, 07:52:59 PM »

No gag, only walrus. I intend to keep this name.

TAC · « **Reply #3724 on:** June 26, 2020, 08:23:00 PM »

I don't!

I do think about changing my avatar, but I feel I can't unless both myself and Jon agree to it.

You know you've been on this forum for too long when you notice the new names but immediately can tell by the writing who they are

I don't participate in the roullettes so I had no idea of this other than just noticing one day. But TAC was easy because Mr Crabs seems very fitting. Not sure why Kat became the Walrus, but with such contrasting musical opinions, it was easy to tell.

Lol, same. You also know you've been here far too much when you have an emoji made out of your avatar and name and therefore can't change either of them

(not that I want to!)

I've maybe posted this in here before, but people who don't have an email signature with their contact info (address, phone #, etc). It's super easy to set up and it automatically populates in your emails. I don't want to have to look back through dozens of old emails to try and find your phone number. Just freaking put it in every email.

and yet what makes me irritated is that I do have my phone number and email in my signature and when people respond to my email asking for my contact info

Yeah. But I can top this. Not only did one of my primary contacts at my customer (though, he isn't anymore, thank god) not have that, but his cell vmail box is full. Like, he won't even let people leave him a message. Maybe it's not as big a deal as it used to be - we can all just text each other messages now (and hell, my voice-mail's get transcribed and sent to me as a text), but man is it irritating.

Chino · « **Reply #3738 on:** July 20, 2020, 09:48:40 AM »

I purposefully don't use a sig with a number because I don't trust Google when it comes to harvesting data, and I assume doing so would result in hundreds of spam centers obtaining my number.

Cool Chris · « **Reply #3739 on:** July 21, 2020, 07:15:41 PM »

Man, when I worked in the office of a major cruise line, and they said employees had to use a standardized sig file template instead of their own, you'd think we were being asked to sign away our individually to the devil. People lost their minds. "Why can't I have my own sig file the way I want it??"

Two things:

1) Two ply toilet paper where the perforations don’t match up, so it’s awkward pulling it off the roll.

And 2) forgetting to lock the door so your coworker walks in on you doing your business...

cramx3 · « **Reply #3741 on:** July 22, 2020, 11:53:18 AM »

just experienced the 2 ply problem this morning at work

TioJorge · « **Reply #3742 on:** July 22, 2020, 12:13:34 PM »

On the topic of toilet paper: Holding in what you KNOW is going to be a gassy BM at work, when your work only has one fucking stall. So someone comes in, hearing the gurgling of Mt. Vesuvius...when you walk out, they know it was you and that walk of shame is DAMNING.

For when they don't match up - take the one ply on the top around the roll. This usually helps get them back in line.
