*sigh*. I have this urge to write something.
I’ve just been skim reading What the World Thinks in 2002 How Global Publics View: Their Lives, Their Countries, The World, America and it reminded me of something I said in work today. I believe the line was “I know its a generalisation but I hate Americans”. I was reminded of that whilst reading this. What brought this on? Well, it was a couple of emails. Now this was in work mind you. I have this thing about email. Plain text or nothing. I hate getting html email. Sure every now and again I’d live to be able to bold a word but fuck it, I can live without it. Plain text please, no damn smileys no images, no text formatting and certainly no damn email wallpaper.
I got a couple of emails with fucking text formatting, images and damn email wallpaper and it pissed me off. Its all a complete waste. I don’t give a fuck about anything except the content of the email. I needed (well I didn’t but I often do) the information enclosed in the email, I didn’t need the shit that came with it. I can understand (but still hate) this to a degree in personal emails, but for fuck sake these are business emails giving information to people. Its the damn Americans who do it. Ok we have signature nazis and no-one really puts much into their work emails over here but the fucking Americans have to “customize” their motherfucking email and send it on.
Don’t these people know anything about the internet? Don’t they know anything about email? Plain fucking text, how hard is that to understand. Send me a fucking email with text and nothing else damn you.
Thank you for allowing me to vent, I feel a little better now. The first one of you fuckers who decides to send me on email with crap included for the ha ha value will be hearing from me. And yes I planned on using a much harsher word than fuckers but then considered some of the people reading this.
