When someone shows you who they are, believe them. Don’t waste ten years of your life begging them to be who you want/need them to be. Don’t waste your time asking and asking, because the answer is no. The answer is no. Don’t waste your time going way above and beyond hoping that maybe if you show them how you deserve their respect and the same kind of generousity they give to others, they’ll give it to you because it’s the right thing to do and you earned it. Because the answer is no.
Emphasis added. No, she is not, and no, she is not. She’s a selfish, inconsiderate bitch, and other than the medium she uses to demonstrate her rudeness, it has very little to do with being in her mid-20s.
You probably know this, but assuming you’re working in MS Office, **Format **> Change Case.
It’s shockingly hard to write algorithms that can properly parse English text. If you can do a better job than the one that MS uses for its office products, you could, I’m sure, retire on the *vast *sums of money you’d make from the translation software you could write. How about instead you pit the retarded fucking students who never figured out that just because there’s a green squiggle doesn’t mean anything is necessarily wrong and they should use their own fucking brains to figure out when something actually needs to be changed?

Quite. I use it to change all the PARAGRAPHS OF TEXT I ALSO GET IN ALL CAPS. ( <– All caps for demonstration purposes only. No remonstration expressed or implied.)
PLEASE fire the newest employee. She’s less than worthless: the fact that she still has a job is starting to seriously demoralize the rest of the office. Besides, there is no WAY she is the best you can find.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Her birthday lunch is scheduled for this Friday, and frankly, I’d rather not spend the $ to go, and even more frankly, I’d rather she not be here anymore by then.
Perhaps, before you load up all your shit on a luggage cart and merrily wave your ride goodbye, you should first come in and inquire how much a room for the night would cost. This would save a lot of hassle on everyone’s part.
How about instead of telling me how your friends are from Florida and want to see the mountains, you shut your pie hole and pay attention when I tell you where to sign so I don’t have to repeat myself nine hundred times.
Message to everyone: Asheville is firmly parked in the Blue Ridge Mountains. You want a view of the mountains? GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE AND OPEN YOUR EYES. See? Mountains everywhere. I’ll be damned.
I thought all you young folks were constantly attached to your electrical umbilical. Yeah, I did think it was rude, but I was giving her the benefit of the doubt, that it was just a generation gap thing. I’m going to have to develop a way to bust people’s asses on this behaviour - “What, our conversation isn’t interesting enough for you?” or something like that.
It’s funny when people think things like the Blue Ridge Mountains are actually mountains - you got trees growing right to the tops of them!
Not those of us with any class, no. And unfortunately there are plenty of people in their 30s, 40s, 50s, etc. who can’t put down their fucking phones, either (often things like work BlackBerrys). Stomp that shit the fuck out.
And we all know you’ve got class out the fuckin’ ears, Guns.
Too right about the older folk, too. My mother is tied straight into her phone. A text comes through, she has to check it and reply; I don’t exist for those 20 seconds. It’s pretty hilarious considering I’ve always been the techie of the family, but I’m the only one who still has a simple little pay-as-you-go flip phone where you have to hit 4-4 4-4-4 just to text “hi”.
If all goes well I’m getting my very own electronic umbilicus on Friday. I’m looking forward to being able to interrupt someone in order to send a text.
Christ, people think it’s rude that I don’t answer my landline at home if I don’t want to. It’s a very radical idea, apparently, not to be a slave to any ringing/beeping/vibrating thing.
The kicker is that theoretically, the advantage of texting over calling is that the reply isn’t time-sensitive. It’s okay if you don’t respond immediately, it can wait. My mother gushes about this all the time, yet she’s always on top of her texts, at least in my presence.
