Things That Shouldn't Piss You Off But Do Anyway Thread v.cockroach up the butt

[King Postwhore]

An update rebooted mine and now it makes a bad speller and a bad texter worse.  Oh and a guy that doesn't proofread.

[ReaperKK]

I don't proofread either, I start and I just get lazy.

The fidget spinner fad. I've been able to mess with one of them and I just don't get it. On the other hand my dumb ass bought plenty of pogs back in 94 so I can't really judge

I don't get it either, but I lived the yoyo (revival) craze of the mid '90s, so I guess I understand it.
Of course we didn't have smartphones and real internet back then, but what's their excuse?

[Stadler]

This is sort of borderline because I think there is an actual societal problem with it and social media has already been covered but when some event happens and you see headlines like "The most powerful tweets in reaction to <event>" or "See how this brave <person> stood up to Twitter backlash" and the like. The reason why it shouldn't piss me off is because I can just scroll passed and go about my day but god damn if that isn't one of the best examples of how fucking stupid our hivemind has become where we're just OK with this sort of throwaway "news" popping up and, worse, actually shared by human beings.

That triggered another one that bugs me (though I won't concede "that it shouldn't"):  when people use "brave" instead of what they presumably mean, like "admirable", or "worthy of praise".   I don't at all think that acting performances are "brave".   I don't think statements to the press - with forethought and through a publicist - are "brave".   I think "brave" should be reserved for when you KNOW you're going to take a bullet - or even die - and you do it anyway, with no benefit to self.   The soldiers that got off first in Normandy?  BRAVE.    Firefighters that run into a burning building worried about people inside and not their own skin?   BRAVE.   Charlize Theron?   Hot, hot AF, but not "brave" (at least for her acting).  Caitlyn Jenner?  Admirable, to be admired, and certainly a role model for thousands that are confused and dealing with feelings they cannot process.  But "brave"?  Not willing to go there.

"Adam Ruins Everyrhing" I want to throw that dude down a flight of steps. To me, he is the perfect example of the 'self entitled millennial'  Pointing out all the things wrong with something in his smug little way.... why this or that is a 'lie' and so on yet offering no solution to any of it. Just causing $hit to cause $hit.

Since Today is Fathers Day, here is one people have been saying more recently.

"Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers...and also to the mothers doing double duty." (vice versa for mothers day)

Its like...No. That's what Mothers/Fathers day is for. If they're gonna do that might as well combine them into a day...Parents Day.

With that logic. I wonder if Homosexual parents take turns being the father/mother on that day? Or if they wait till that one day so both get the greeting?

[pogoowner]

I don't really see a problem with throwing some extra credit toward a single parent.

One thing that drives me nuts is for movies and shows it seems the will get covers of songs that often try to be more brooding. It's hard to describe but ever since the "Mad World" cover by Gary Jules I've seen lots of for shows where sometimes I think the original would work just as well if not better.

Yup!

That's one reason I liked the new Thor trailer. Just the original Immigrant Song. No weird remake of it.

[King Postwhore]

Don't watch the Justice League trailer then.

[Prog Snob]

I love Flo, and I'd let her have my offspring if she wanted to.

Wow.   I did not see that one coming.

You didn't? He pines for Avatar, and this is a surprise?

I didn't see THAT one coming either, though, so there's that.    

But I can't talk now.  I'm on the phone with the Amica girl (Tristan McDonald, if anyone cares).  FINALLY.

Slow, minimalist covers of pop songs seem to be dominating video game trailers as well.

People wearing winter hats in 88 degree weather. It's also muggy.

It was a really thick large winter hat too.

Um..they were really short shorts.

[King Postwhore]

 

By your response it was a dude.

Dude I would wear shorts year round if I could get away with it.

I do this unless I'm going to be outside for a prolonged period of time.

[Chino]

When people wear their watches so the face is on the inside of their wrist.

[Stadler]

Men who sit with their legs crossed.

[King Postwhore]

Men who sit with their legs crossed.

I can't physically do that.

[Chino]

Men who sit with their legs crossed.

At the ankles, or when they have one foot above a knee?

[Stadler]

Men who sit with their legs crossed.

At the ankles, or when they have one foot above a knee?

Neither.  The kind where your knees are actually crossed.   

[Hyperplex]

You mean the Metro Nut Crush?

Neither.  The kind where your knees are actually crossed.   

I don't think I could do that if I tried.

[Phoenix87x]

I started crossing my legs after seeing the godfather and never looked back.

[Stadler]

^^^ There are variations.  I'm not talking about the "I could have you killed before you even have a chance to be scared" version, ala Michael Corleone.  I'm talking about the other version.   

[Phoenix87x]

Yeah the other version is pretty whack. I couldn't bring myself to sit like that. Justin looks too much like an eager beaver in that first shot.

[ReaperKK]

What? I sit with my legs crossed in meetings all the time. I get called out for by other guys at work but my out is that I'm from Europe

It's a comfortable way to sit.

[jingle.boy]

Men crossing legs:  Leaning back = ok.  Upright or leaning forward = emasculation

[mikeyd23]

I am totally a leg crosser.

People making delicious smelling food in the office microwave. Right now someone's got microwave popcorn and it smells so good and I just want to just find the desk where it is and steal it all.
