Ticked Off Tuesday

It’s another edition of Ticked Off Tuesday.

Feel free to jot down anything that currently ticks you off.

I’ll start:

It ticks me off when you are in the office, and someone sends out an email to a group about a particular problem, and that problem gets solved via email after several exchanges.   Eventually someone is a little behind in reading his or her email, and as said person begins to read his or her email responds to the original email with a solution even though the issue at hand has already been resolved – all he or she needed to do was to scroll up and see if anyone else has responded with a proper solution.

Stupid Sports Illustrated Typo

I’ve mentioned how it annoys me when my last name is misspelled or mispronounced, because I don’t think it’s that hard of a name.  But I can’t tell what annoys me more, when my first name is misspelled or my last name?

I was reading Peter King’s MMQB yesterday and on the sidebar I saw this:

Hmmmmmm, maybe there is someone out there that does have the name Keith, but it’s spelled differently?  Maybe I’m the one at fault here for being annoyed seeing the name spelled IE instead of EI, even when KEITH is used as a last name?

So I decided to click on the story to see if it was indeed misspelled, and what do you know . . . I found a typo on SI.com

KEITHSIScreenShotBON020

I’ve never liked the name Keith.  It’s too often misspelled and it’s rather dull.  Heck, the dullness of the name was even the point of a joke in the animation movie Hoodwinked.  I think my parents told me it was a toss-up between Keith and Simon, but they didn’t like the idea that Simon had the nickname Si.

Maybe I should just go by my middle name, and people can just call me Walt.  Or maybe something simple, like Earl, Bob, or Joe, or Joe-Bob.
