Random Irritations

My "BIG" Boss has sent me a spreadsheet to complete. It needs to contain 6 months of production data from a very well known Daily Newspaper. Contained in the Spreadsheet is a fairly significant spelling mistake (an intentional one that he doesn't realise is wrong) that will be repeated over and over again as I complete the task.

Now, do I correct it and send it back to him once complete, thereby highlighting the fact that he can't spell, or do I leave it and make it look as though I can't spell the word either? It's doing my nut in at the moment.

Correct it, then tell him you've corrected his error.
 
People at roundabouts who think that if they have waited 10 seconds for a gap, this gives them the right to just accelerate out in front of anything else coming.
 
Swindon Council declaring two abandoned vehicles as roadworthy, and refusing to move them, despite them having smashed windows and flat tyres!

How does that work when you post it on a national forum?

Good point. Let's just hope that no one at work plays a minority sport, is in the tiny minority that uses a forum, understands the population breakdown of the large village I live in and can then crack the pseudonym that is the user name. I'll be goosed then!!!!!!
 
Naga Munchetty (again)! Had to turn over yesterday as she had the settee to herself. Then today she has a polite young guest (American singer - not sure who!) and twice properly told him off for calling her "ma'am" - he profusely apologised each time. She needs to get a check on herself and her place! Hopefully she's now starting a 2 week break and I can watch Breakfast again.
 
Amanda, tough choice on a day when it is Naga on one side and Piers Morgan on the other. I go to Sky news on those days.

It is inbuilt in Americans to use ma'am and sir. It is absolute politeness on their behalf and it is done sincerely. What did she want him to say, 'oy sour face'?

Agreed. I chose a mix of cricket and golf but do like to sit with a news channel on in the morning so will try Sky. She is awful...shrill, harsh, stroppy and thinks she knows everything about everything!
 
Having to “drop” mrs dando and my step daughter off in brighton for step daughters hen weekend and it turning into a 5 hour journey!
 
Playing partners on the golf course who seem totally incapable of standing somewhere where their shadow does not get in your way.

Correct it but change another random word to be wrong, then send it back and let it do his nut in.

Likes the sound of her own voice too much, can't stand her either
