I use yyyy-mm-dd because yy runs too much risk of confusion between date and year for certain dates if seen out of context, as most people will assume it’s dd-mm-yy. And I only use it for things that are going to be stored in file name order. No point using it for emails because they’ll be in sending date order.

People who are polite on teams.
“Hi safebruv how are you?”
Just ask me the question so I can leave in unread if I don’t want to deal with it

that is absolutely perfect, no need to even enter text in the body of the message
Yeah i get this. I get a message off a night shift IT person at 4am saying “Good morning Alexa” (not my name), no further detail. I log on 6 hours later, person is now offline.

The unreal level of bureaucracy inflicted by IT in getting anything promoted from development to Live. Once missed an arbitrary deadline by 2 actual earth minutes and they tried to claim I wouldn’t be able to get it promoted for about 6 weeks. Bunch of sad boys.

Oh my god this is the worst. Sending a message that says hi, you reply and then there’s a half hour gap before the respond again. Let me know if I can go do something else!
People who I regularly converse with spelling my name wrong 
I just don’t understand. I SIGN OFF EVERY EMAIL WITH THE SAME SPELLING

Has just happened here.
“Got an idea… for the [project]… need your help”
I replied literally within 10 seconds saying “go on, i’m all ears…”
Left on unread for 15 minutes so far.

My manager in an old job I had gave me ‘manager training’, as I was taking on a team with no prior experience. The training involved her just sitting in the 1-2-1s I was leading and berating me about it not being very good after
I quit, quite quickly (tongue teaser) and haven’t had a management role since
