Why do people use email signatures that advertise which device they sent their message with? Irrelevant douchebaggery at it's finest.

  • Perhaps because they are using the default and never bothered to change it

  • Why do people wear clothing with the brand name on it? Same douchebaggery.

  • why do people get tattoos of huge crowns on their bodies....why douchebaggery of course

    Cliff Wynne posted

  • cause they like the clothing? i think that is a bit different. i still carry my nexus one with a google logo on it, and my macs have apples on them. even though i'm really just using them for what they can do, i think branding on products is fine.

    ... but those brands mean absolutely nothing to most email messages.

  • If I were told that by your sig that you sent this from a tiny touchscreen, I'd be slightly more willing to forgive your its/it's typo.

  • like I said most people dont even think about it. they just activate their email account on the phone and go.

    --still sent from my douchey desktop--

    Cliff Wynne posted

  • Because they want people to see how cool they are.

    -- Sent from my Newton

  • I'm still lazy I haven't changed my signature.

    --Sent from this douchery facebook app--

  • I haven't changed mine either. I don't even really care about it. It could say Sent by Satan worshipping Nazi war monger and I'd probably be like meh, I'll change it later. To me it serves no real function so I don't mess with it.

    Maybe I'll change it to Sent from my IPhone while sitting on the toilet and smoking backwoods cigars.

  • 99% probably don't know how to change it. My work email says it though because my phone emails are much shorter than desktop ones.
