What little things do people do that drive you crazy?

[MA_PE]

Having attended Catholic Schools through high school (and back when the teachers were mostly nuns) cursive was emphasized pretty strongly.  However, once I hit college and most work was done using computers or needed to be typed my cursive abilities started to go south in lieu of hastily writing notes/memos.  Today my hand writing sux.  I can still write nicely but it really takes a concious thought about how to make it look neat and tidy.  Ram:  If you cringe at how other people write their notes then you're OCD big time.

I can speak in cursive, but don't ask me to write in it!

It's quickly becoming a lost skill.  I know the joke is that engineers and doctors have notoriously poor penmanship but I do cringe when I see folks in meetings taking notes and it looks like my 3 year old's writing.

This. I tend to pride myself on neat hand-written work.

ive always seen most engineers (civil's anyway) have decent handwriting?

And it's well known most doctors have extremely poor handwriting, but what I've learned is that many doctors are also really bad with electronic communications, too.  sentences all in lower case with no puncuation  things like that  i think that their culture of shorthand note taking affects their ability to communicate in other forms

i see what you did there 

My handwriting is pretty bad too, but at least the drafters can understand it.

Someone told me I didn't look Spanish because I was so light skinned.  Really??

My wife is Cuban and depending on the time of year she can be very pale or very dark.

Was using some mad writing skills this week....

 

[snickerd3]

^is that a g or a 9

 

[Ble_PE]

^is that a g or a 9

Yes.

 

[Road Guy]

I think only civil's learned the correct way to make 9's  (of course this is with marking paint so cut me some slack jack!)

[Road Guy]

I'll be here all week....

 

[Ble_PE]

^Great, that gives you plenty of time to work on writing your nines correctly.

[Road Guy]

My 9's are correct bitches..

This one was close to a rattlesnake that almost killed me...

 

[snickerd3]

^that one looks like a nine, the first one the curve went too far to the right which looks more like a g

 

[knight1fox3]

Wasn't there a discussion on here about how to write an "a"?

Something like this or this?
