I hope this email finds you in a well
“Regards.” Neutral.
“Best regards.” Gushing.
“Best.” I want you to die.
Wait, what? Is that for real? I’ve been signing with “Best” since forever.
I do too. I think some people don’t understand it’s shortening “best regards” or “all my best” and instead think it’s saying “I’m the best”. At least that’s what one co-worker said to me. But I still use it.
Well that’s what I mean when I use it.
Best,

Regards

I used to use this, but apparently that was passive aggressive. So I switched to “best” but apparently now that’s passive aggressive too. What am I supposed to say??
Just keep jumping between the two!
Or sweeten it up with the long form “Regards of the day”.
For real though, worst is if they sign of with “Enjoy your evening” or similar. Dude, it’s 11 pm and I’m already in bed.
Try old school: “I’m your obedient slave”
FOR THE EMPRAH!
Or alternatively:
Skulls for the skull throne, cordially,
Best what? What is this?
