Microsoft, why the fuck wouldn’t I want to use the destination format. Why can’t even your native Office stuff work properly?
Why? Why so much?

Microsoft, you are invaluable at work which is why it hurts so much.

@taatm @Liffonmelsmork @HollyGoDarkly this is the conversation I have with Microsoft Office (read: me yelling at my computer) every time I copy and paste.

User: Highlight word
Microsoft: Let’s grab that space after it or the end of line carriage return also so when you copy, that junk happens again.
User in denial: My error. Highlight word.
Microsoft: Woo Whoo, again, this is fun!

Paste other system: Incorrect temporary password!

Microsoft, just take the word and work out the formatting when we paste you lazy mo-fo, because you already do that and someone in Microsoft developed the end of word space/line carriage macro that fixes it instead of fixing the copy!

Microsoft, please conduct a full ‘default setting’ review.
