The word "hipster." It has no meaning whatsoever anymore. If you like anything remotely uncommercial you're a hipster. If you like pop and aren't a teen girl you're a hipster. I had a friend call attendees of Lollapalooza, a festival that brings in 90,000 people every day and booked Metallica as a headliner this year, "stupid hipsters." Stop calling people that. Also nobody "only likes (blank) ironically." Similarly, dismissing bands as (genre) for people who don't like (genre). God forbid someone who's not a purist enjoy something they wouldn't normally check out.

artsy fartsy posted:A limp handshake is one of my biggest peeves. Do these people not use forks? loving hell, I know you can do this. It's just so gross, like handing someone a wad of your hair. Seriously, imagine if someone handed you any other body part and was like "Here, hold this for a second while I go limp and stare you in the eyes." Not acceptable. Imagine if someone handed you any other body part and expected you to shake it vigorously while also staring you in the eyes.

cash crab posted:Content: The expression "I hate humans". Am I wrong, or is the always uttered by people who are the kind of people most everyone hates? Like, they hate people on a whole because they're bad at socializing. One of them (who I love dearly, but God she could be annoying the first couple of years) was really fond of saying she "didn't give a gently caress" when in fact she gave a huge, negative gently caress about most things.

People on Facebook who tag you in posts on your own wall or comments on your own post. I already know you're talking to me! I don't need two notifications about it! And I know you don't refer to me by my full name whenever you address me. Also gently caress you if you like your own posts. Why is that even an option?

Maggie Fletcher posted:To that end, people who tag you in stuff that is tangentially related to a hobby you have. I like skydiving, but I never get tagged in cool skydiving videos. I get tagged in the same wind tunnel video over and over, though (three times in two days by friends who all know each other, identical video from identical source), paragliding, BASE jumping, zip lining...everything BUT skydiving. I get that non-skydivers don't really "get" skydiving, and they just see "cool video of people doing things in the air" and decide I need to see it three times, but it's a little annoying. Then I get the "let's do this!" comments from people who SWEAR they are going to be the next BASE jumping or wing suiting superstar, but every time I invite them out for a tandem they chicken out. I have a friend who is really big on this one diner in Akron (he might have even worked there). LeBron James took Amy Schumer, Bill Hader and Judd Apatow there, and people posted the story about it on his timeline 8 different times.

Cleretic posted:-My dad will put on this weirdly high and childish tone of voice when he's quoting me for a story, which he apparently does quite a lot. My voice is deeper than his. quote:-It's been mentioned a few times in this thread, but all this reminded me of it: when people buy you shitloads of themed gifts because they hear you like it, regardless of the statement's truth. Recently that's been Doctor Who for me--I'm fine with that, because Doctor Who is fun and its aesthetics can be pretty classy, but gently caress, there's only so many TARDISes I can have in a place--but until recently it was sarcastic t-shirts. You know the type; black or earth-y colors, with slogans like "it's hard to show I care, since I don't". that's great for an Edgy But Not Too Edgy Teen, but I'm now twenty-four, and had so many of those given to me over the years that even when shedding as much of my wardrobe as possible I couldn't even get rid of all of them. Related to family members having a permanent image of you that you've shed: when I was a child I was very non-affectionate; totally averse to hugging unless it was my parents. To this day my extended family and my parents' friends think I'm mortified by the prospect of hugging them hello or goodbye. I'm 23, how do you people think I made it this far without ever showing basic human affection? Henchman of Santa has a new favorite as of 15:04 on Mar 1, 2016 |

Re: online dating peeves, I've already touched on most of mine early in this thread I think, but I really hate the practice of using a picture of you and your friend(s) as your main photo. Especially when a woman uses a photo with someone who's clearly more eye-catching to draw people in. It's even worse when they use exclusively group photos and you have to figure out who the common denominator in each picture is. I get it, you have a social life, which is good. But I would also like to know what you look like more than what your friends (or family! Don't put your grandma in your Tinder pictures!) look like.

It's even more annoying if you live around another bay (like Tampa Bay, for example) and they coopt this so you have to say "which one" all the time.

Murphy Brownback posted:There's a discussion going on in the STDH thread about standing/sitting in concerts but I thought this post was more appropriate here. I hate getting bitched at for not standing or just expressing a preference for sitting down during college football/basketball games. If it's like 100 degrees in direct sunlight with no shade in the student section, you aren't a "bad fan" for sitting down for a minute or two here and there. Even if you spend the extra money to sit in the alumni section with shade and actual seats instead of just bleachers you'll still get yelled at for sitting down in them unless you're 60+ years old. Alternatively, if you stand up during moments that call for it, some old fart always tells you to sit down.

Ozz81 posted:Sports team fans that argue about whether or not someone is "allowed" to be a fan of multiple teams. Case in point: I live in Nebraska and college sports here can get pretty crazy, to the point that fans of the UNL Cornhuskers will argue with fans of other college teams like the Creighton Blue Jays or UNO Mavericks about how they need to "pick a side" or they're not "real fans" if they don't support one specific team. It gets especially bad with the Husker fans, but since I'm not a college sports buff I just toss in their face that it's been almost 20 years since that poo poo team has won a national championship. gently caress y'all, you want to annoy me I'll spit truth and watch you flail helplessly and make excuses because you have nothing better to do with your life than cling to a college sports team and live vicariously through them, you losers. Creighton and Omaha don't even have football teams to my knowledge (at least on the FBS level) so that's extra dumb. I assumed everyone in Nebraska rooted for the Huskers in the fall and then did their own thing for other sports.

It was 70 yesterday, and it's 50 and raining like a hurricane now, and it's supposed to turn to snow tomorrow morning, and then 70s again next week. A week or so ago, i checked the five-day forecast, and the highs were 10 degrees apart each consecutive day -- 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s. It snowed in Chicago today. Tomorrow it's going to be in the 60s, drop back down to 30s on Monday, get up to the high 50s again by Wednesday and then drop back to the mid-40s. Why did I stay in the midwest?

That's not even the worst one because a few weeks later, I went back to the same Panera and now my name is "Earn." Went to Panera with my friend Ian.

The word "problematic" has reached total saturation. The worst is when it's used to describe people. I just saw someone on Facebook say regarding Ghost in the Shell, "I've lost all respect for Scarlett Johansson after this. She was problematic at first, but this really takes the cake." No, Scarlett Johansson is not any more "problematic" than the rest of the human race. Her decisions might be, but that doesn't make her very existence so.

I sent an email to an alt weekly in September of 2014 asking if I could write about music for them on a freelance basis. I got an email back the following February saying "let me pass this along to our music editor." Then another month or so passed and I got one from the music guy saying to send him some of my clips.

I saw a Buzzfeed quiz yesterday that was "This Shockingly Accurate Harry Potter Quiz Will Determine Which Pair of Houses You Belong In." There are only four loving houses in the first place! And in the book they totally walked back on the sorting thing with "well, you wanted to go to Gryffindor more so I just put you in that one." Those kids would be better off with a loving Myers Briggs test. I can't even publicly admit to enjoying Harry Potter for fear of a bunch of recreational Quidditch players rambling at me.
