Default Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Getting emails from agencies. I don't do brand, marketing etc. at Lord's so if they bothered to check they could direct these to the right person. But what's worse is they all try so hard to be clever in their emails.

Here's today's offering...

I work at [company name] - a team of creatives, planners, brand experts & stargazers who do things a bit differently to help brands fulfil their true potential and grow.

[Bit of blurb about how wonderful and creative they are blah blah]

It is what we’ve done for the likes of Sudocrem, Bic and Clarks.


You see I can't take seriously an email from someone who works on cream for nappy rash and frumpy shoes yet calls themselves a 'stargazer'.

Would you want to look at the stars with a sore ars and no shoes? Makes perfect sense to me!

The fact that this thread and its sister thread look so similar except for the 'w' on the smile of the day one, its not a capital like this thread's 'w'

Someone fix it, my OCD isnt letting me sleep!
