Haha maybe they mean that they care a teeny tiny bit, but in all honesty they could maybe even care less than what they presently care

Haha it's like that say, "Hey guys! I drive a car. What kind of oil should I use?"
Seems like everyone wants to be zombie like in the work place. A lot of stuff is verboten nowadays. Walking on eggshells so to speak.
Because I don't read it the same way you do. I undestand many are just trying to be polite/that is the intention but remember, it's not what you think is polite, it's what others think is polite in this instance and in an online world, I don't read that as polite. So when you walk in a restaurant and the hostess is about to seat you do you say "thank you in advance" before she seats you? You say thank you after. May seem weird but well...maybe I'm weird!
Being culturally and socially inclusive can be tricky, especially when you have a diverse workplace population. What works for one team's culture may not work for another. Using discretion and exercising a high-level of EI will be critical for success.
To me, this says "I know this is not allowed, but I'm going to post it anyway while trying to con you with my fake respect for the rules."
^ Sometimes I think it implies, I couldn't be bothered to read the forum rules (or couldn't find them).

Seems as poignant as ever.
How 'bout?
Use too many letters and you're accused of being bloviate....oh why can't the texters learn to abbreviate. from my heretofore unwritten musical, My Fair Coworker

Exactly. I always laugh. I'm a mod in a FB group and a vehicle-based forum and always laugh at it when I see it...."Why thank you for letting me know it's ok to do my job and delete this post that breaks the forum rules." Even funnier is when they write that and it's clearly an ok post....example...FB classifieds group. Selling something. Writes "Please delete if not allowed." AHAHHAHA

Speak proper English huh? Who is the authority on calling what is the proper culture or tradition value? Doesn't look like it was based on who used it first or first come first serve.
I get irked when someone starts a post with "school me".
It's like saying that they are too lazy to do some basic research before asking some specific question(s).

Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays.
