Actions/trends that need to be retired immediately (1 Viewer)

[SacramentoBob]

Jogging with your shirt in your hand.Driving with a dog in your lap."In Memory of" graphics on rear windshields. I don't really need a roving billboard to remind me that someone I never knew is dead.Really any kind of graphic or bumper stick that people attach to their cars. Some are worse than others, but they all need to go.

I saw my "favorite" the other day. You know how folks have the whole mom-dad-billy-suzie-stick people chain on their back window, I guess to show the fact they are actually capable of replicating? Well, was behind a van yesterday that had "mom"-"dad"-dog1-dog2-dog3. So I guess they were proud of the fact that they could go out and buy dogs. Seriously people, WTF? You think ANYONE gives a #### that you have dogs? Or kids? Or both? I'm pretty sure had I spoken to these people, the urge to punch them in the throat would have been overwhelming, especially when they inevitable "our dogs are just like our children" comment came.

Snapped a picture of a minivan that had the family stick figures right next the In Memory Of... graphic. Shouldn't one of the stick figures have been under a tombstone?

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

The general manager of my office is a guy in his sixties who has been married for over forty years.

He refers to his wife as his...bride.

 

[Kal El]

Naming winter storms, a la the Weather Channel.

 

[Tom Servo]

"Please enjoy the music while we connect you to your party" on a call to a cell phone. No matter the song, it sounds like it's coming from an AM pirate station in Tijuana. Brutal.

No. I thought of doing the blanket prohibition but Top Chef and The Amazing Race can stay.

They already exist, and thus are exempt from my statement (and because I like the Amazing Race). New shows should be stopped, however.

I should give up on my efforts for producing "America's next great pr0n star" then?

This was probably mentioned (I cant see many of the links at work..) but I like the DINK one I saw the other day. Thought it was somewhat clever.

This trend of ogling other men and gushing over their body by describing them as a "full grown man" needs to stop.https://m.facebook.com/?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fsearch&_rdr#!/photo.php?fbid=10151409856188535&id=78780288534&set=a.142117173534.115194.78780288534&ref=stream&__user=1251395109

Shouldn't that be a phrase that needs to stop?

I believe it's been mentioned already. Yes, I too cringed at Joe's post. Both times. Why he repeats all of his posts on the FBG and personal account is beyond me.

Joe needs to step up

I kind of like the DINK one too since that describes us.

exactly.

Any type of political meme shared on Facebook. Seriously, if I wanted to see that stuff I would've liked whatever page you shared it from.

There's something that I think started recently but needs to end IMMEDIATELY"Beautiful women making ugly faces"If you've seen it you know what I'm talking about. Some hot some kinda cute some average girls transforming themselves into ugly by making faces on video. It's 100% a chick thing. The humor seems to play into their constant obsession with image. I don't think a single man on earth likes this.I don't even want to link it. Find it yourself.

The only way this is acceptable is if they are nekkid.

Chris Berman announcing on MNF (even once is too many times)

He's working the Raiders game Monday night.YAY!

Guys that say "YAY!".

Naming winter storms, a la the Weather Channel.

The NWS have been formally naming hurricanes and tropical storms since the 1950's. Storms have been named since the 1800s.

 

[TobiasFunke]

People pretending they give a #### about Olympic wrestling.

I fully agree with naming hurricanes and the like, but those are not winter storms.

Making people sign credit card receipts.

Dollars and cents. CC companies charge higher fees for transactions where the merchant doesn't get a signature. It also protects the merchant if you claim the charge was fraudulent.

Wearing sunglasses indoors

It's like wearing a sign on your back that says "I'm an arrogant doosh".What type of shades does Otis wear?

And that needs to be retired immediately.

Pretty much anything having to do with cell phones.Texting nonstop.Talking on it while pumping gas or waiting in line at the bank. Just get off the damn phone and STHU already.

What about those kids on your lawn?

But if we don't talk or text with our phones, we may be forced to interact with another human being.

As long as they stop picking up and throwing the very expensive rocks I put around my mailbox, they can stay.

I'm down. I saw this chick at Target a couple of weeks ago put someone on hold and take a second call while pushing her stupid cart and generally being annoying.

ugh, this is sort of me.I must be getting ADD or something. I can't get on any waiting line without whipping out my phone even if for 1 minute

Speaking of carts...People who block an entire aisle with their cart.

Harlem Shake videos.

 

[Kal El]

Harlem Shake videos.

I've only seen bits of them, but they're annoying.

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

The two or three assbags who feel the need to clap when someone in a bar/restaurant drops a glass or a plate.

 

[Zegras11]

chest bumping

 

[Aerial Assault]

Launching balloons into "space" on a budget. It's been done, nerds.

That can also double as a "least favorite commercial," as some recent Citibank ad implied, I believe, that four middle-aged dorks in dire need of a Viagra IV bought a weather balloon with points and launched it into low Earth orbit.

Cashier's explaining how you can save 10% next time if you go to the survey website at the bottom of your receipt.I've done it. Once.It took forever.And quit wasting all that ####### paper. I've signed piles of mortgage docs that were more earth friendly than my Buffalo Wild Wings receipt.

 

[Tiger Fan]

The two or three assbags who feel the need to clap when someone in a bar/restaurant drops a glass or a plate.

What about a loud chorus of "boooooooooo"?

I don't get why nobody in any of these videos is actually doing the Harlem Shake.

Group texting

 

[JAMES!]

"distressed" hats

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

In a restaurant or bar, clapping when someone drops a plate or a glass. The ultimate combo of LOOK AT ME and I'M REALLY STUPID.

 

[Insein]

Group texting

This is single-handedly responsible for all of the world's problems over the last 3 years.
