That's right! It's always been a huge pet peeve of mine at work, it pisses me off.

I mean these people are supposed to be professionals

I've lost track of how many times I've been forced to look at some stupid report or analysis that's full of charts and graphs.

Oh look! Pretty colors and 3D on your chart

The thing IS FUCKING USELESS WITHOUT LABELS ON YOUR AXES !!!!

How the fuck is anyone supposed to know WTF your trying to show without labels on your axes?

I swear...the next PPT slide I see without labels on the axes someone's getting fired.

Am I underreacting?

I hate when people don't label their felling axes or splitting mauls or broad axes. It really pisses me off.

I like to label peoples' sledge hammers for them. With penises.

You put the label on the handle, it's color coded!

Ya, agree about the axes but don't capitalize the first letter of your sentence.

Axes is plural for axis. So OP is correct.

OP, you are not over reacting. I say you fire them all and keep firing until people with the proper understanding of the importance of labeling come into your employ.

I have so many axes I should label them. In the event of my death they would probably sold for pennies on the dollar. Good axes are pricey.

Highlighted some points of interest here. Just sayin'

I see a powerpoint presentation about 4 times a year, and that's only because it's an all hands meeting and it's convenient to use with the overhead projector. People have actual real work to do other than fuck about with slides.

Gransfors bruk scandinavian forest axe? Have one and love it

I have some vintage axes, but I'm very much impressed with how well the GB axes hold the sharp edges you can put on them.

I have not ever been in that situation, but I would be livid if I ever saw such a thing...

First thing I thought was "tree chopper." Then I thought, "why the hell would anyone need to have labels on an axe?"

I can see how this may piss you off, it would me at least.

TIL that the plural of axis is really axes.

That's not a joke. It's true as fuck #realtalk

I may edit that slightly to show to my students. Here is why you label your axes, it is so you won't get fired.

Want to know what else grinds my gears?

OK, I'll tell you.

Misaligned staples. There's really no excuse for it.

Since we're talking about staples... what kind of person puts a staple anywhere other than the top left corner? A FUCKING IMBECILE THAT"S WHO

When stapling papers there is a 1/4" radius that the staple needs to be in. Not an inch into the document, certainly not in the fucking middle!

Unlabeled axes are one of the few things that send me in to a fucking rage at work. Fuck your report, shit is worthless without pics / graphs. Those graphs are worthless without fucking labels. Next time I get an unlabeled graph, I'm typing up a report about my fucking nutsack, with pics and labeled graphs, and sending it to the offending author.

Posted: 10/28/2014 10:42:34 PM EDT

We get that here, but instead of unlabeled axes, it's a lack of error bars.

While we're at it, staples in the top left corner should always be oriented (bladed) at a 45 degree angle to the two sides, not parallel to either side.

I hate charts that aren't either totally linear or logarithmic across the entire axis.

I also hate the ones that start and have the major axis ticks on some weird data point that is hard to visualize across the axis.

Dudebro it's easy, it's something vs. another thing, okay brodude?

Edit: or just relabel for them. X-axis is always strain. Y-axis is always population. Z-axis, if applicable, is always angle (in radians).
