Wait, what? Is that for real? I’ve been signing with “Best” since forever.
I do too. I think some people don’t understand it’s shortening “best regards” or “all my best” and instead think it’s saying “I’m the best”. At least that’s what one co-worker said to me. But I still use it.
Well that’s what I mean when I use it.
Best,
Jerkface
Regards
One typo away from mandatory sensitivity training
I used to use this, but apparently that was passive aggressive. So I switched to “best” but apparently now that’s passive aggressive too. What am I supposed to say??
Just keep jumping between the two!
Or sweeten it up with the long form “Regards of the day”.
For real though, worst is if they sign of with “Enjoy your evening” or similar. Dude, it’s 11 pm and I’m already in bed.
Try old school: “I’m your obedient slave”
FOR THE EMPRAH!
Or alternatively:
Skulls for the skull throne, cordially,
I hope this email finds you in a well
Today I sent an email that said “if at all possible could you get that done by the end of day”. I hope they successfully translated the threat.
“Regards.” Neutral.
“Best regards.” Gushing.
“Best.” I want you to die.
Best what? What is this?
