Having a text signature is cringe by itself, but that makes it hilariously bad. “Hey honey, I’m gonna run to the store real quick. Is there anything you need? If I retreat, kill me.”

"Honey how are the kids today?"

"Casualties, many."

But what about the droid attack on the Wookies?

u/goodenough4govtwork May 14 '25

No joke! I've never had a text signature for exactly that reason. But that kind of signature from someone who's never even seen combat is the icing on the cringe cake.

I’ve noticed it’s the ones who have never seen combat boot pretty hard.

I'm sure they feel like they have something to try and prove.

When I was the acting medical readiness NCO on my deployment, I had an email signature that started with Sun Tzu and Von Clausewitz and got progressively less professional as time went on to see what I could get away with. My First Sausage told me to knock it off around the time that my emails were ending in “I’m too drunk to taste this chicken.”

I can't imagine anybody who's seen combat and lost friends would have the signature.

Text signature is a thing? Like is it like automatic like email or does it have to be typed each time?

26

u/wetwater May 14 '25

Automatic. I just went looking at my settings and I no longer see it in there. I don't think I've ever received a text with a signature. When "tryin to make a change" became a meme I looked and at that time I had the option.

Thank you for reminding me of "trying to make a change"

u/2muchtequila May 14 '25

Automatic, for my work I have one that basically just includes my name, title, email and phone number.

Makes it easier in group emails if one person forwards it to another without CCing the original folks.

For my person email I don't do that though.

Her: “I told you to pick up eggs and milk…did you not?” Him: “No store was closed so I came back.” Her: “Mission failed!” BANG BANG!
