With all due respect 😆

I had one 'softly reminding' me about a meeting the other week, I almost didn't go on purpose.

Omg. Our division does this all the time. There’s nothing gentle about it and it makes my head spin off my shoulders! Why not be direct and say
‘just a quick reminder of…’?

I hate the phrase gentle reminder. My dentist will send an email that says this is a gentle reminder of your appointment on x date.

My dentist sends the "gentle reminder" email too, it's completely unnecessary annoying.
Also "polite notices" which are usually asking people not to park somewhere.

YADNBU - one of my pet hates too! Invariably received when I've either already done something but it's sent out to everyone, or when it's something I have no intention of doing

What about a cheeky reminder?

Who thinks “I look forward to hearing from you” is aggressive?
