Fairly often here at work, someone will screw up another person's

line's contents will change from whatever they were originally to
"Returned Mail: User Unknown."  

The peeve is that a lot of people won't bother changing the Subject:
line back to what it's supposed to be when they resend the message;
they also won't bother deleting the mail-path header garbage that gets 
added in when a message bounces.  And then some bozo will *respond*
to the mail, still without changing anything, so it'll arrive with
the Subject: Re:  Returned Mail: User Unknown.  Makes it kinda

I know someone with the opposite problem: he can't *drop* the point.
For some reason, this guy has a tremendous amount of difficulty 
reaching closure on anything during meetings, and moving on to
something else -- an extremely cautious, conservative person by nature,
he wants to milk every little aspect of every topic absolutely to death.  

And when he comes into my office to talk about something, he never makes 
it out the door successfully on the first attempt; he *always* makes a 
U-turn as soon as he reaches the hallway and comes back in to discuss one 
more thing.  There's always "one more thing" with this individual.  I'll 
pointedly turn back to my workstation, but he doesn't pick this up.  It 
also does no good to stop and turn only partway around in my chair, with my 
hands hovering exaggeratedly over my keyboard, when he comes back in.

Quoting donb@igor.tamri.com (Don Baldwin) in article <1993Jan12.145350.20247@igor.tamri.com>:

"Coloured people" was never exactly racist, more euphemistic.  "People
of colour" sounds incredibly euphemistic to me.  Apparently it's
supposed to include people who are "mixed-race" or Asian; around here
the PC phrase is "Black people and people of colour".  This seems to me
silly; black people aren't really black anyway; all "black" really means
is "sufficiently dark-skinned to incur the displeasure of racists."

"the Irish in London are lucky --- no-one knows you're black until you
open your mouth..."

But "nigger" is just a contraction of "negro".  It isn't *inherently*
perjorative any more than "homo" is.  It's offensive because you'd only
use it if you were trying to offend.

This is my beef about "offensive language".  There's a ban in one of
our local newsgroups on "offensive language" (actually "offencefull
language" --- that's MY idea of offensive language).  We're told this
means means "language that might offend someone".

This is bullshit.  There are people who get offended by "history" and
"hysterical".  What they really mean is "don't say `fuck'", but of
course they can't say that.  This position, too, is bullshit---what in
God's name does not saying "fuck" achieve?  Do they think there are
people who are ignorant of the word, and why do they want to keep them
in the dark?  Given that every soul in the Edinburgh CS department, not
to say practically every English-speaking soul on Earth, already know
the word exists, why is it bad to remind them of the fact?  Unlike a
genuinely offensive word like "nigger", it's supposed to be offensive
even to *refer* to the word "fuck", the way this posting does.  And
it's triply nonsense, because no-one who reads cs.undergrad is
*actually* offended by "fuck" at all; they're just worried that
*someone else might be*.

We're not supposed to say "fuck" here either, but that's even further
off the wall than the rules about local newsgroups.

Oh, I forgot to mention---that was a peeve, by the way.

Also peevesome are those who, when you choose to eat lunch at your desk
while reading news, ignore the fact that you're eating and come in to
talk about some business-related matter.  I used to work with a guy who
had so much trouble with people bugging the shit out of him while he 
was having lunch that he started putting a chair in the entrance to his 
cubicle; on the chair was taped a sign saying "LUNCH."
