Women constantly adjusting their sweater/shawl/jacket/etc. to cover their rack while talking to you.  Or lack of rack.  Relax, ladies.

Same type of thought....strapless dresses. So annoying seeing women constantly pulling them up.  Strapless tops don't even look good and they smash the boobs down, so why wear them?  Just wear a dress with straps please.

They want you thinking about their boobs.

 
Using the word "pricepoint" when referring to the cost or price of something. 

My wife loves these wedding dress shows on tv, and everytime the salesperson asks the bride "So what pricepoint are we looking for today?" I want to scream

I had a neighbor that had a mid-1970s Corvette.  A cat fart would set off his alarm.  One of those old school loud ### ones.  Thing went off twice a day.  It would go off when they weren't home and last for like 20 mins.  

I told my wife that one night I was going to put a brick through their windshield.  "I'll give you something to cry about".

Well it's a bad strategy because strapless tops basically make women look like they don't really have good boobs.  Get some straps and hoist those bad boys up with some nice cleavage if you want me thinking about them!   Don't smash them down and make yourself look completely uncomfortable and self conscious about your top falling down every 5 minutes.  I seriously don't understand why women like wearing strapless anything, does them absolutely no favors in any department.

 
Dropping the mic

It's over...just stop doing it, referring to it, having movies or shows with it, "funny" online vids/gifs, etc...

 
I know we're in kind of a dead zone for sports, but would it kill these SPORTS TALK RADIO STATIONS to actually have shows that TALKED ABOUT SPORTS?  I know, stop yelling.

But jeez, it's become an epidemic.  I listen to the Dan Patrick Show on my drive in to work.  He's always been one of the guys that mixes in a good bit of pop culture, but at this point, his show actually features the most "sports talk".  The afternoon shows on both local stations (570 and 710 am in LA) are now pretty much all pop culture with some sports mixed in.  Heck, even Max and Marcellus (on my drive home) is becoming Marcellus yelling about Beyonce or something.  Petros and Money (570) have always been a 50/50 split and I know what I'm getting when I tune in there.

I seriously miss having Sirius/XM.  I am most definitely getting it when I finally get a new whip.  I actually listened to a CD on my way back from lunch today.  Didn't want to listen to LeeAnn Tweeden talk about Lady Gaga getting dissed by China.  WTH?

Eh.  I suppose I could do this.  I'm rolling in a 2004 Corolla without an auxiliary jack.  I've already posted in this thread what I think about tools that wear headphones while driving, so that precludes me from listening on my phone.  :oldunsure:

Sirius/XM will solve it.  NFL Radio is my boo.  :wub:

I just play it from my phone speaker, and stick my phone upside-down in a cupholder (speaker on bottom). :shrug:

 
Don't really give that many ish's but just noticed recently...

Wearing massive leis or whatever when you graduate.  Totally get it if it represents your heritage, but now ever lame-assed graduate, be it high school or college, is wearing some massive lei.  I guess they're just flowers, so whatever, but what started as a cultural thing is now something that the masses do for some reason.  Just another $50 I will have to spend on my kid.  Get off my lawn.

It's gotten pretty bad hasn't it? Most of these shows have devolved into the hosts talking about themselves, sports is tertiary at best. And by and large, the hosts aren't people I'm at all interested in hearing about/from.

I've driven 350+ miles in the past few days for work during the day and have all but given up.  Currently on Amazon right now to figure out how to hook up my iPad to my car stereo so I can download and listen to podcasts.

Picked the absolute worst days to drive, too... no sports on, so REALLY nothing to talk about.  Basically these "sports talk hosts" talking about all the recent shootings and racial tension crap.  Greaaaaat...

Or what they did over the weekend. Or what happened on the Bachelorette this week. Or who the greatest hip-hop artist of the 90's was. Or what famous person's birthday it is. Or...

you should check out Jim Rome

If you like lurching staccato with 5-10 second gaps.  

I really wish Jim Everett would have pushed his face in.

I know I'm in the minority on this board, but I love him.  

The Everett stuff was unfortunate, he went a little overboard there and has pulled back a touch since.  He's very good at toeing the line now.

The repeating of phrases over and over and the waiting for him to speak again ...just makes me want to strangle him.  

That isn't counting the smack-off callers.  

I used to listen to some in the afternoons before podcasts instead of "the even more obnoxious local sports talk show" with its own set of regular callers focused on HS and Razorback football.

RACK HIM.

I actually like the repeating phrases.  You get used to it I guess.  Tried to listen to it with a friend who had never heard him before and he found it extremely annoying.

I keep my headphones on as much as possible, if only not to hear people use the expression "my boo."

Agree on the callers, as I read it again, that could be misinterpreted.  

The amount of time they must spend coming up with that crap.  Then getting to read their "smack rant" on air.

Thankfully with podcasts, I never have to listen to radio again.

Just went through this yesterday.  "OK, we get it.  Johnny Manziel got suspended," my friend exclaimed.  Meanwhile, I'm loving every minute of him talking about Johnny Idiotface.

My favorite part of the show is when he uses the verbal buzzer on callers.  I sing along with "I don't like that call...not a very good call" every time.
