People who annoy you

Since the time I wrote about people who annoy me, I've received emails from various readers detailing the people who annoy you.  Keep sending me details about the people who annoy you and I'll post them here from time to time.

Without further ado, I give you the first of a series of people who annoy you.

1. Extra-long Email Signature Guy: This guy has his email signature packed with entirely too much information. Often times his signature includes his full name (with middle initial), Professional certification and/or degree(s), Company title, Company web address, Company mailing address, 3 phone numbers (work, cell, and fax), and an inspirational quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson.  This guy has no clue that people usually don't read his emails because his signature is so long and annoying.

2. Over-Using Bluetooth Guy:  This guy wears his Bluetooth earpiece everywhere.  While normal people use their earpieces primarily in their car for safety and convenience, this guy uses his at a backyard barbecue hoping people will think he's important.  He stands in line at the convenience store yapping away about nothing. Often times people think he's talking to himself, but then he turns his head, and people realize he's just Over-Using Bluetooth Guy.

3. Cliché-Lover Guy:  This guy has reduced the English language to a series of over-used and often times inappropriate string of clichés.  This guy thinks everything is "six in one, half dozen in another."  He's willing to "get into the weeds" but only if you first do a "back of the envelop" and make sure things are "apples-to-apples."  In most situations, he can "catch as catch can", but when things are really going bad he decries, "This feels like the Bataan Death March!"
