People that over stuff paper towel dispensers so you either end up with one-third of a shredded paper towel or fourteen paper towels, with no in-between.

That’s all of them! I live bang in the centre of Z1 and the only healthy activity I aspire to in public is walking some kind of sighthound. Runners-up in self-important fitness assholism are Lincoln’s Inn legal types with early-morning personal trainer appointments in the Fields.

One of my first jobs my boss signed his emails simply 'Best' then his name. I thought he couldn't decide whether to say 'regards', 'wishes' etc.
― kinder, Monday, 13 January 2020 22:23 (four years ago) link
maybe he was saying he was the Best Jeff out of all Jeffs or something

Yeah I considered that too!Best,kinder

william shatner used to sign all of his tweets "my best, bill", sometimes shortening it to "MBB"

i am a 'Best' user too. its okay. definitely un-savage.

i switched from 'best regards' to 'cheers' like 18 months ago and it's been lifechanging tbh

I think we need to return to elaborate 19th century signoffs. Wouldn't getting an email that ended with "I Remain, Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend" or whatever brighten up your day?
― shared unit of analysis (unperson), Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:02 (four years ago) link
the misplaced comma would dampen it a little
― mark s, Tuesday, 14 January 2020 19:03 (four years ago) link
Misplaced by contemporary standards, but when you see a letter in a novel by Dickens or Trollope or whoever, that's exactly how it's written. So you gotta go with it, for full accuracy.

dickens definitely liked underlining his name too often, and i'm not claiming no literary figure in the 19th century ever mistakenby used a single comma to cut subject off from verb, but the correct form was this: i: "I Remain Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend, Grawlix Unperson ii: (or possibly, occasionally and ornately) "I Remain, As God Is My My Witness, Your Stalwart And Loyal Friend, Grawlix Unperson

If Dickens used a fountain pen it’s totally excusable imo
