I hate that. Took that off my car, along with that ugly dealership sticker, as soon as I got it home.

Sent from my IBM Selectric.

I finally took the Mike Shaw frame off my truck yesterday. Thankfully, I bought it before they had time to slap a sticker on it.

Do you work for the marketing department of Apple or Samsung or whichever brand of phone you own? Why can't you just go into settings and delete the signature?

I changed mine to say "Sent from my mobile phone" so they know (or at least assume) i am busy-ish, i think it originally mention my provider and phone model
 
Because I change the ROM on my phone so frequently I got tired of doing it. And from now on just to piss you off. 🙂

It's against the rules? Didn't know that. I find it annoying, so good.

Sent from my cheapo Dell laptop.

I believe it was deemed a no-no maybe a week or two after Tapatalk was enabled.

I keep the license plate holder on my car, because it tells these silly southerners that I'm from New York. When they wonder, "why does he drive so crazily!?" They see the back of my car, and say, "Ohh that explains a lot." 😀

It's not nearly as annoying as people who have to sign their post with their name/handle....as if we couldn't look to the left of the post and see who posted it. 🙄

edit: don't even know my right from left anymore...sigh

Or somebody who has a 15-line signature detailing every single obscure part in their PC down to the brand of the stainless steel, anti-corrosion thumbscrews.
 
It's not the phone manufacturers. I'm could be posting this from my TF101, but you'd never know, because I use the stock browser, not that dumbass Tapatalk app.

Tapatalk rules. However, idiots who leave the sig on are stupid.

You are just jealous that you did not think of it first and would look like a sheeple if you started now.

I like to have it in my work emails, it lets customers know that I am on the road.

This. I am on call so if I have to respond my emails are notable shorter and it will let them know why. I'll leave out time insensitive details until I get back to my desk

No one cares where you're posting from.

usually they don't care either, nor care enough to bother changing the default signature.

It's funny how this kind of stuff pisses all these losers off. They wonder why they can't get laid...

Troll troll troll your boat...
 
Because it's in the default settings for tapatalk and other programs and I could hardly give a shit about changing it?
