Friday five.

Five pet peeves, for the lamest Friday five in the history of Friday fives, in no particular order:

• people who email me X information, then leave me a phone message to say they just emailed me X information, then they stop by later to make sure I got X information (ummm... YES ALREADY and the TPS report will be on your desk Monday)
  
• people who sign their work emails "- Best," (what does that even mean?! especially when it's a passive aggressive email?!)
  
• people who take forrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr to make a point and include countless bits of trivial information they've already shared on numerous occassions to make said point
• people who stand on the corners holding clipboards*
• people turning right who almost run me over when I start to cross the street on the walk sign**

* This evening I walked home from work and actually went three blocks out of my way to avoid the Pioneer Square "petitioneers." When I do have run-ins with them, I am rude to them, which is not fair because they care about their cause or just want to make a buck, and I always feel embarrassed afterward. But godsdammit, it's annoying.

** Unless someone has a passenger bleeding out of their eyes or with a baby about to crown, this is unforgivable. My friend waves at the driver when this happens. I wish I had her degree of anger management on this issue.
