AIBU to think that ending your emails with "peace out" makes you a twat?

[Jacksmania]

Someone I have to deal with re: work always ends her emails with "peace out, her-first-name".

WTF, have we suddenly been transported back to the 70s???

Or even worse, "namaste, her-first-name" with a twattish little apostrophe at the end of "namaste". Namaste is Sanskrit, not fucking French. There is no accent aigu on the final e.

And these are professional communications, not two yoga teachers emailing each other.

FFS.

BTW I do have a life, I have lots of other things to be concerned about, no, this is not a big deal, in fact it's trivial as shit, but it's bugging me. :o

I really hate best

pax vobiscum

I'd need to know the person. I might quite like an ironic 'peace out'. That in itself does not make her a twat.

YABU. Nothing wrong with a bit of hippie influence :o

Sodding overpromoted hugely out of her depth fairly high manager in my organisation uses ;-) in professional emails.

Also !!!!! and !!?

Fuxake.
I give her 6 months.

YANBU - toe curling in the extreme.

My pet hate is people who don't start their emails with Hi/Hello/Dear, just - Maisie. You don't start any other conversation that way, so why an email?

Yanbu. Is highly feckin irritating

YAdeffoNBU

Burn her.

I end all emails of an official nature "kind regards". If someone only gets "regards" they have seriously displeased me.

I would reply with 'Piece Out', or ask if she's got a piece missing.

Ha! Glad to know it's not just me with PMT then :o

Sadly thank fuck she is not my employee, so I can't fire her for being a twat.

I love peace off, I may try that :o

I also hate when people start an email or a letter with

"Your-first-name",
we are writing to you in oder to.... blah de blah.

Oh, and I hate when people leave me a message on my voice mail and address me by "first-name, surname" when they're leaving a message. "Hello, Jacksmania Surname, I'd like to book an appointment..." WTF? Who does that???

Definitely cringey.

Almost as bad as the response to a (VERY angry but still polite) email I'd sent to the incompetent-shower-of-bastards removal firm who'd just gaily admitted they'd double-booked me and wouldn't be doing my house move in FIVE DAYS' TIME.

She forgave me for being angry and signed it 'Peace, love and light'.

I was, as you might imagine, a leetle bit stressed at that point. I found another firm, thank gods, but I still occasionally fantasise about dropping into her office and introducing Mr Her Computer to Mr Baseball Bat...

Peace, love and light?

Fuck me.

Well, quite. I didn't want her to understand why I was angry and be OK about it, I wanted her to apologise and be contrite. Getting angry again just thinking about it...

Peace out is twattery, in any form: spoken, written, emailed, embroidered...

That peace, love and light person was surely deliberately messing with your head?

I would like to think she was an evil genius, it would make it funny rather than maddening.

But I did speak to her, too. And bear in mind that she'd managed not to notice that they had one lorry and two bookings for weeks.

She is still filed under 'twat' as far as I'm concerned.

Would it be wrong to respond to the 'peace, love and light' person with 'toss, pot and fuckwittage'?

I wish I had .

Well, quite re head-messing. Who couldn't resist reading out and laughing at a ranty email to colleagues and then collaborating in best way to reply for maximum wind-up potential without actually being rude. Love it.

Someone I work with does (",) as smiley faces in her emails. For some reason it drives me round the twist - what's wrong with colon close brackets like everyone else?

Mind you, she calls everyone Lady. Several times in every. single. fucking. sentence. And pronounces it Laydeeee.

I know I am irrational in my hatred of this

"lady"? Ugh. I had someone post "happy birthday lady" on my FB. B
Fffnnnnaaaarrr!

I don't think anyone was ever offended because an email was too formal, so I use 'Dear...' And 'yours sincerely'

I use "best wishes" to close work emails. Seems to be the right balance between formality and friendliness

See, that's what I do. "Dear", and "regards" or "yours truly". That's what I was taught is proper. But maybe that makes me an old fart :o
