Read this ASAP!!!

It seems so dumb, but I absolutely HATE when people email me and include the 4 letter word, ASAP. Especially when it's all in caps. To add what is even stranger, if they just type out "as soon as possible", it removes all the sting. When someone types it out, I think, 'Oh, they really need this, they are hurting for this need, and I can help.' When someone types ASAP, I think 'DROP EVERYTHING YOU ARE GOING AND DO THIS RIGHT NOW OR I WILL HAVE YOUR JOB YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF *#$%'

So there you go. When you use ASAP in an email to me, it now translates to, Please make sure to wait one week before acting on my request. Thank you.
