I just got invited to a meeting for a time zone that doesn’t exist this time of year. In the US EST does not stand for Eastern time, it stands for Eastern Standard Time (~November-~March), EST is not an active time zone, it is EDT Eastern Daylight Time. Its a pointless thing, most people probably don’t notice, but its wrong.

Fake internet points to anyone who knows why DB-9 bothers me.

Edit: corrected a missing n in an eastern

    People who say no to something instead of no thank you. Someone offered my CW a tart one day and she said “no I don’t like those” instead of just “no thanks”. Why not just the extra half step to be polite?

      People can be pushy if you don’t decline clearly. Especially when it comes to food. Cultural background is also highly significant with this one.
