annoying things people put in their professional email signatures

[Jase]

- Every possible meaningless title they have, AKA a barrage of abbreviations that most people could never decipher.

- That annoying wingding and the "please consider the environment before printing this message". I print out emails that say this 5 times each.

- "God bless our troops" or some religious message.

What are yours? :thumbsup:

You could be telling me the secret to life, but if you write your sig in that calligraphy looking crap font, I automatically think "wedding coordinator" or "professional dog sitter" and disregard whatever you just sent me.

Pretty much anything other than plain text on a white background annoys the hell out of me...

It's email not a resume or personal wallpaper. :mad5:

Also those long corporate disclaimers are annoying...

the persons email address, seriously???

[Jase]

the persons email address, seriously???

Sometimes in an outlook email chain, that header information will get lost and only the person's name will remain. So if somebody forwards you an email and says "forward person x this file", sometimes only the person's name is there, and you'd have to ask somebody further down in the chain for the address.

I don't do it, but it could be useful for that reason.

I really only get annoyed about complaining.

[Zcustom]

Yeah I get that but that scenario never happens at my office.

Strangely I feel a little better about it knowing that every now and then it makes sense

[Epistaxis]

I hate them all.

Even my own, which just thanks the person for taking the time to read and respond.

once a year before Christmas I have one guy that used to work in a department I support, but now does something else entirely, send a Christmas email thats probably not work friendly, it's almost as if he's daring someone to complain to HR so he can be all sanctimonious and whiny about it. Whenever I used to have to stop by his office it was filled with fluffy God posters and his desk had all the pseudo Chick Tract type stuff laid out in front of you.

Anyways my emails come with on call numbers, a link to my support team with a built in header...but nothing personal because thats pretty inconsiderate to me.

[Wither]

Titles. I know who you are and what you do. If I don't then explain it in the email itself.
