What pissed you off today?

I was approached by an event coordinator/wedding planner about my photography. We have been emailing back and forth about jobs, contracts, and the like. Upon trying to work out a meeting time to discuss what she is looking for, I received responses such as "kool with whatever".

Then, she emailed back asking for a spreadsheet of my pricing and the products that I can offer for both weddings and regular portraits. I sent one. I received the response of "kewl". That was it. Not even an entire sentence. Not even a correctly spelled word. Hell, not even a capitalized word.

My entire dealings with this lady have been like trying to carry on a conversation with a teenager. One would assume that interactions of this nature would at least warrant a more professional attitude, especially since she is the one trying to retain services.

I'm meeting with her tomorrow evening. If I hear one "kewl" or anything else teeny-bopper-ish, my ass is going to the house and she can attempt to find another photographer. My next three weeks are already booked with shoots. I don't have time for bullshit.
