Holy Hell, I’ve never seen one in the wild. That is petty as fuck.

I KNOW SOMEONE WHO THE SCANNED SIGNATURE THING! I almost mentioned that. He is 70 though. I do not know if that information makes you feel better or worse.

You know what’s even worse? Deleted receipts. Why do you care when I’ve deleted your damn email about leftover muffins in the kitchen?

**gets to your comment and falls off high horse**

I’m always amazed when I see Papyrus used for any bakery products. This font is designed to evoke ancient, dusty, dry... yeah, sure I’ll take that muffin that’s been sitting there since 3000 BC.

I refuse to acknowledge requests for read receipts.

When I see that I just ask why. No one thinks you signed it, it doesn’t make it look more professional or formal, it just looks stupid. I follow my company’s format style, which means my name is all caps and bold (international company, so I assume the want each letter to be clear).

Literally everyone I work with who has a “wacky”/non-default font in their emails is terrible at their jobs.

Any color that makes it harder to read against a white background is probably a very bad idea. Stick to dark, somber colors, please. You can use neon orange on your gmail account to annoy your relatives.

Dark blue is fine, but the monsters that use purple or pink need to be stopped.

CeCe from AP, it doesn’t make me smile when I get an email from you in pink font with a palm tree clip art in your email signature.

I will say that there is, out of the hundreds of people I correspond with at work, one person who uses a textured/colored background, upsized stylized font, and has a big image with quotes about inspiration in it as their signature. She is also the only person who uses read receipts. She is also clearly a sociopath.

The people with the Disney font are the true war criminals in this world. Just... do not do that, everyone.

And that’s not even mentioning the sickos that change the font color.

This is important journalism. I recently got an e-mail from someone that was written in a normal font and then signed their name in slightly bigger letters, in blue, in one of those ‘handwriting’ fonts, as if the person had somehow signed the e-mail by hand on the screen. It really upset me.

My Outlook default has always been Calibri. I didn’t know it was supposed to be Tahoma! That explains all the weird looks I’ve been getting since I started working here...

Also, speaking to the “inspirational quotes” part, one of my former co-workers had an L. Ron Hubbard quote in his signature.

When his boss got wind…

After surgery for kidney stones - and if you are in the know, you know the pain is excruciating and it’s weeks of agony - I just got the stone analysis and suggested restrictions on my diet from my surgeon.

I would like to request a follow-up article along the same lines about how if you post pictures of yourself, or worse, your children, on Yelp or TripAdvisor, you are an absolute monster. No exceptions, no exclusions. No one wants to see your vacation photos.

Nina nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The person I most often need to reply to / forward correspondence from uses some kind of email client or organizational software that defaults to Times New Roman (the most regular of regular serif fonts to the point of parody). It’s so banal that I forget that I’m out here using Outlook with the default Calibri (ie.…

Wingdings is the only approved alternative email font.
