Do you have your Pronouns on your emails?

Should I be concerned that I have not adopted this?

Fight back against the madness.

For the majority of people friends are a normal thing .
But not to me I guess .

I spent first 30 years of my life by myself , I mean , I have dad , mom , my brother , but that was it .

Maybe because I'm a strange person , or maybe for other reasons , but I was used to spend 90% of time working in the shop , and 10% of it riding dirtbikes alone .
Even at school I have not been so lucky , while other kids preferred o stay home playing playstation and eating mcdonald's , I was playing with tons of Lego bricks , or riding around with my bike - same at high school , I was focused on studying while others were focused on parties and getting drunk.

But , I can say miracles happen sometimes .
I met a dude ( who is also one of my customers ) who is passionated too about dirtbikes , so we had a couple of rides together .
Then after a while he asked me if I was interested to join his group of gym training .
In the beginning I was not so convinced , but then I said yes .

Holy cow , lucky me I said yes . I think I met the craziest group of dudes I could ever find , and we became friends immediately .

Now we meet 3 times per week for training , we have dinners or just a drink all together , always big laughing and fun .
I believe they understood from the first time that I was not so confident with other persons , but they did not reject me , they pushed me to join them .

I feel part of a group for the first time

Friendship is awesome !!

Yup ^^^ at least they identified themselves to you, now you have a list of who is "woke".

There is no way I am doing that, ever.

The world has always been mad and always will be. Why do we need pronouns, gendered or otherwise?

 

[roblane65]

,,, YES ,,,, !

 

[JOEPRO]

,,, YES ,,,, !

As in, you do add your Pronouns?

No, its always been as mad as a bucket of spiders, but it does seem to be picking up the pace!!
the weaponisation of victimhood and constantly pandering to the screaming minorities is not helping.

 

[chunkolini]

Does my head in; how can one person be called 'They'?
They are usually a group of people or things.

If I got one of those, I would leave them in no doubt as to my reaction!

All I can say is, I’m very glad to have grown up in the 80s/90s, when the weirdest thing broadcast was probably Eddie Izzard, or that rumour about Richard Gere with a gerbil up his bottom.

 

[Burdekin]

I’m more of an adjective type of guy.

 

[Gragson]

Email sigs annoy me generally with massive stupid company mottos or pictures or daft statements or awards, accreditations etc who tf cares!, and weird formatting so when you reply everything is double spaced grrr...

Work dictat recently that we must include the department logo with our position & mobile number - yeah right FT, as if I don't get enough spam calls already.

I get this sig on all my work colleagues in Aus,
I get it but does it have to be on every bloody email....

Rant over, from he, him it

 

[Bones28]

There is so much wrong with the world, but far more important to worry if your an ???????

 

[Welderpaul]

I see it more now. It's unnecessary information in an email.

In the same vein I may as well update my signature with my shoe size, width of my drive and current thermostat setting

@JOEPRO ..you're a DM? ..It's always the structural engineers and architects..?

 

[Barking Mat]

Yes, a while ago.

Barking Mat,

Identifies as a broken toaster.

 

[Cobbler]

Our doctors surgery gives all the pronouns against their names. Complete load of tosh, b@llocks, etc etc.

Then it isn't email, but a web page. All good mail clients can be set to reject HTML, not only for security but also to minimise clutter. It tickles me when I get messages telling me that the sender's message cannot be displayed and that I should change my settings to allow their HTML garbage through, as if!
