Things that pisses me off: putting date without day. Example: promotion flyers, adverts, banners that state an event is, say, 25 January 2014, or letters, notices, invitations, appointments that mention a date, say, 12 March 2014.

What do you need to do? Pull out a calender to see what day of the week it is so that you can know whether you are free for that event. If the day is stated,often you will know that you will not be free if it is a weekday ('cos you are working) or if it is a weekend, you will know whether it clashes with your weekend routine or other appointments.

How difficult is it to just add another 3 letters: Mon, Sun etc to the notice?

Another thing that pisses me off: specifying date in numbers. Is 04/08/2013 the fourth of August, or the eighth of April?

The worst thing is receiving a business email without email signature. No job title. No contact number. No address to know where this fucker is based at.

Have to say that you are quite easily pissed off.
Within 10 seconds, I could have told you that 25 Jan 2014 is a Sat.

You can, but I can't and that is what matters to me.

Aren't we taught to write dates w day/month/year? 04/08/13 = 4th of Aug 2013. Personally, i like to write as 4 Aug 2013.

Yes yes yes... I got this alot. If i can, this kind of email will go direct to the spam folder. Never bother to reply. One of the culprits is from Changi Airport Group. I wanted to apply a airport cargo complex pass with them. They are only available to contact via email. No names, no tel number, no address. I dont know whats so secretive about their operations?!!
