Women who don’t have their own email address….so the “from” line always reads, “Dick and Jane Smith” or “Dick Smith” but then it is signed “love Jane” I NEVER see an email from a man where the “from” line reads “Jane Smith” adn then it is signed “love Dick”
Come on gals. Its 2006 – every ISP gives you 5 or so email addresses to use, and if not, everywhere you go online will give you a free email address – hotmail, gmail, yahoo, etc., etc., etc.,
Don’t get me started on postages envelopes or cards signed/addressed “Mr. and Mrs. Dick Smith” – um hello? When I married Eric I did not become “Mrs. Eric” He did not absorb me into his idenity.
Ok, I know this is minor..there are bigger issues in the world. Like I said…a SMALL pet peeve of mine. Since this is a family site, I steer clear from the big pet peeves….
Eric got to see NYC tonight and may get to see it again this week….or on other trips. I am so JEALOUS. I got to see Office Max and the Taco Bell drive-in along with a softball field tonight. Anyone jealous of me?
Ooh, so jealous of you.
I’d have to agree on the e-mail issue!
That drives me crazy too. When my MIL sends me something, it’s always addressed to Mrs. Stephen Titus. I’ve told her I don’t like it and she laughed and called me a feminist and said she was going to keep doing it because that was the “right way”. Ugh.
This bugs the crap out of me! I may have to blog about it. My MIL refuses to acknowledge that I didn’t change my last name. She even addressed a card to me one time to “Mrs. William Stallworth”. My husband, of course, opened it since it was ADDRESSED TO HIM and was like “why the hell did my mother send me this PINK card?” It took us a while to figure out the address thing. Still not as bad as an aunt who sent a card shortly after our wedding to Mr. & Dr. William Stallworth. Guess what auntie? Not only did I not change my LAST name, but I sure as hell didn’t change my FIRST name.
AAaaaah. I feel better now.
