I hope it’s another Honda Fit.

He'll need more than one to tow his trailer. Maybe 4? One for each family member, and they pull the trailer like a horse carriage.

Reading patents, and on a related note, scumbags who knowingly infringe on patents thinking that you won't sue them. I didn't want to be a lawyer, that's why I didn't go to law school, but fuck me, I'm getting a lot of education on how that shit works this year, and I'm pissed off about it.
I may have to go back to grumpycat avatar if this continues.

We had a competitor rip off our trademarked name recently. Fun times.

Patent infringement sucks too. As the owner you have to sue them or you lose the ability to enforce.

Get in car and turn AC on. Point all vents maximum away from head, face, body, arms and legs. Crank AC to 16 degC. Complain to man that AC doesn't make car cool enough.
Repeat.

Is it passive-aggressive if i remove the background colour on the reply?

This is super unprofessional haha. I haven’t seen an email like this in quite a while, come to think of it.

I've seen this 4 times in my entire career who I dealt with frequently, and it was annoying. All were similar types of people, but varying in age.

Also on that note, people who use weird looking fonts and colors in a professional work e-mail account. This isn't fucking MSN Messenger.

Comic Sans Serif is not weird. It is one of my defaults.

My wife is currently eating rice crackers in bed.

Is this grounds for divorce?

Yes, but how much is the value of not having crumbs in bed vs the devaluation of your post divorce assets.

Massive pet peeve for me too. Luckily my seperate duvet provides a barrier to foreign objects entering my side of the bed

First time I read this I figured it was a very different kind of dirty.

Divorce either way.

My solution was to use my foot and my elbow to imperceptibly push her inch by inch toward the edge of the bed, until...

We have carpets, she was fine.
