Arguing with people.

"Look it up" You just don't want to present any evidence.

"Well, that's your opinion." Everyone in the world should stop arguing about anything, because it's all just opinion. There's no right, wrong, good, or bad. Just opinions. It's YOUR opinion, your honor, that me murdering that person was bad.

"I'm entitled to my opinion." Yes, and i'm entitled to call you and your opinion wrong, because that's my opinion of your opinion.

"I'll believe what I want to believe" Except what you believe is inaccurate and/or false.

"Studies show x thing" then these 'studies' aren't provided, just mentioned.

When you're arguing, then the other person starts raising their voice and shouting "NO NO NOPE" because you can either shout or back off and let them think they won.

Anytime someone starts insulting you in a debate, you know you've won that debate, because insults mean you've gotten under their skin, and that's how you know they're wrong.

When someone is saying some stupid poo poo and I want to call them out on it, but I also want to be quiet so I don't seem like an rear end in a top hat :smith:

I have a similar issue with Piper hate in Orange is the New Black. A lot of people say they hate Piper, and I can't really see why.

It seems like people who like the show feel they have to apologize for the protagonist being a sheltered, WASP, which I get. The show is great for having such a diverse cast of characters - it almost works against itself in that it's forcing people to critique it at a higher standard. For example, it's a bit bothersome that a story about Prisoners Being People has to be told by a spoiled white girl who represents the "exception". I get that.

I think it causes people to overreact and say that they hate Piper. It's a bummer because she's a mega-flawed, multi-dimensional character with an amazing actor behind her.

I hate Piper because she's a self-confessed narcissist who manipulates and uses other people whenever it's convenient for her , not because she's a sheltered WASP. She's really a MUCH less likable protagonist than most American viewers are used to. I think that, more than her background, causes people to hate her. I frankly don't think the average viewer of OITNB is critical enough of race representation in the media to have strong feelings about her whiteness.

It really bothers me when I'm pooping on the toilet, and then somebody knocks on the door and I have to let them know that the bathroom is occupied (even though the locked door should clue them in). Then they ask that I don't flush the toilet. It's like, "I get it, you're going to take pictures of it or do some sort of 'dominance poo' (where you poo on somebody else's poo) but do you really have to do that in a public bathroom?"

QUICK EDIT: Also, I hate when the person you're taking a shower with tries to urinate on you.

The only time I've seen product placement done relatively tastefully was the Social Music Experiments series with Reggie Watts. Yeah, they mention and show the product once or twice in the sketches, but it's not intrusive.

Retail chat was a little bit ago, but I have a Cashier Peeve that's starting to become a huge problem for me.

Please don't let your toddler/baby/newborn infant to do anything involving a transaction. Especially when said child just ate and has hands that are even more grimy than child hands normally are. I'm also a little awkward with babies, so don't get all weird because I'm not cooing and thrilled that I have to gingerly retrieve some money/a restaurant check from your baby's clutched fist.

Please also don't tell your obviously shy 5-8 year olds to handle their own purchases, but that's mainly because I feel for those kids. Until they drop a bunch of crumpled bills and loose change on the counter, that's when I stop rooting.

You have never heard of this? It's more common in the U.S., I think. Go to a public restroom in a movie theater, sit in a stall for long enough and you'll probably have it happen to you. I mean, if they're polite, I'll honor their request--it's not like I've got anything to do with the poo once I "drop" it off, right? It's kind of like the bathroom version of bumming a smoke.

QUICK EDIT: I just realized I said bumming a smoke. That's a funny pun, given the context.

I know a lot of people who avoid public bathrooms, too. I don't really blame them. I've even seen people take out their phone and try to jump up and take pictures over the stall divider. Like, before the other person has even left the stall. I doubt they'd actually get a picture of anything, but they still try. I guess you could get lucky and catch them as they're standing up, but before they flush, but that's a really small window of time.

Oh man, I always hated this so much. I'm kind of awkward around kids too and I think a lot of parents were really put off when I'd just treat their kids like regular people instead of baby-talking at them or getting super excited about taking money from them. At least their hands were usually clean. :shrug:

So is this like a movie theater only thing or something? Because I have never experienced this or even heard of it until your posts. But then I don't poo poo in a lot of movie theater bathrooms and you seemed specific on that point.

Interesting! I've never seen Ziploc bags involved--just a lot of the aforementioned camera phones and "no-flush" requests. Like I said, it could very well be a regional thing. It doesn't seem like a lot of people are from America in here and people are probably more squeamish in other countries.

Do they have "spotters" (that's what I call them, anyway) in LA? You can tell when somebody is "spotting" because they're just sort of lurking by the sinks, but they're generally watching the stalls.

So are you just overlooking the string of "I'm from the US and I've never encountered/heard of this?" If it is regional, it's very regional and not a thing in the United States as a whole.

I've had it happen twice, both in northeast U.S. No jumping up to take pictures or anything, just the "don't flush" request. I thought it was weird as hell (and flushed, gently caress you weirdo), but it is definitely a thing. I don't know if it was some joke in a movie I never saw or something, but it is a thing.

There was a movie where the guy (Jason Bourne??) talked about how it was really easy to ambush a guy when they were using a urinal, so you had to check to make sure the bathroom was clear before you took a leak. It's the same idea with using a stall, because there's no way you're going to catch a guy with your pants around your ankles. They'll wait until they think you're in the middle of BM'ing and that's when they make their move. So be careful.

I think all shows with this kind of product placement should learn from Fibber McGee and Molly. The product placement was blatant, in that an actor, playing himself, would show up for the sole purpose of shilling Johnson's Wax, but the other characters would mock him for never being able to shut up about it.
