OKAY. its rant time.

i totally hate people with their own catch phrases.
BUSINESSES? Fine. but PEOPLE? like, individuals???
i hate you. it's just so friggin' cocky and holier-than-thou!
here's some of the WORST ones i've come across, including the youtube one just used that inspired this post.
UGH. get it together, planet earth. 
get it friggin' together.

it's like i don't even know you anymore...
Picture
1. "Live it and Love it"
example: 
"so i'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll hit walmart. can't wait! Live it and LOVE it! -James"

BARF. this is actually used by a friend of mine who i am considering disowning if they sign this in an email to me ONE MORE TIME. love it and love it? shut up. i don't need you to inspire me when you're talking me about going to walmart to buy granny panties. i WILL live it and love it, thanks.

2. "Find your Bliss"
example:
"i just want you to be happy. everyone deserves that. find your bliss. - amy"

BARF. seriously. if i wanted to be inspired, i would google "inspiring quotes." i do NOT need you to quote some totally un-self-aware idiot from project runway to me. get a clue.

3. "Live, Laugh, Love"
example: 
"can't wait to see you! Live, Laugh, Love! - deborah. ps- remember to bring your swimsuit."


BARF. you're an idiot.

4. "Keep Shinning and Loving"
example: 
"hey! great video bud! great channel! i really love your channel! i'd really appreciate it if you could look at my beyonce cover! i'd really appreciate it! Keep Shinning and Loving! - dmitri

this is VERBATIM a youtube email i just got. i want to punch this guy in the face.

5. It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."
example: 
so we will meet next week and exchange the paper work. i'm sure this will be quick!

-It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

i HATE when people use personal signatures on business emails. its such a waste of space. like, all their business info, name, address, phone number, social security number, dog's name, neighbor's name, high school boyfriend's name, where they grew up, their hopes and dreams.... SHUT UP. or even worse- they have some stupid image that appears in every exchange! that's the worst! if i wanted your business card i'd ask you for it! i don't need to see if 50 times in our back and forths. i remember who you are and what im doing talking to you. thansks. UGH! so cocky! and hey... i love thoreau as much as the next generation x'er, but come on. if you're vain enough to use an email signature, at least make it match your business...

6. "God made you perfect, just the way you are"
example:
"fine. i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree. i don't know why you can NEVER see things my way. it's like you're a child. you have no perspective and horrible taste. i can't believe i ever dated you. what a waste of time. we're over.
-s
"God made you perfect, just the way you are"

a-hem. remember, if you're vain enough to use an email signature- it goes out on EVERY EMAIL. it needs to apply to every person in every scenario imaginable. or you come off looking like the mental invalid you are. and don't tell me God loves me in your email signature. i know He does. i don't need you speaking for Him with your beginner html skills...
