Here's annoying for you (an e-mail message I received today):

Call Barbara, she said it was real important.

Barbara is my sister. The important thing - her SO's brother died and they are leaving town. Barb has inoperable lung cancer/emphysema/heart problems and knew if I couldn't reach her when I call to check, I'd be frantic.

When I asked the co-worker why the e-mail she said:

I sent it so I wouldn't forget.

Forget - I was less than 20 feet away from her when she took the call. True I was meeting with someone, but surely she could remember for 5 minutes when someone says it's "important"!?!

When her mother called last Friday and said it was important, I went and got her in the bathroom.

Right now, I am so mad I could scream.
