people who clap when the plane lands

or at the end of a movie

How often do you see this happen? I hardly go to movies any more, but can only think of one time, when Vader through the emporer over the ledge, the theater I was in went nuts.

Every. #######. Time.

For me, not quite as much, but damn near every big movie during the summer I've seen - Dark Knight, Avengers, etc.. the crowd claps at the end of the movie.

 

[KarmaPolice]

Speaking of movie etiquette - put your ####### phone away. A big reason I don't go as much as I used is b/c I have to see 50 lights from all the phones in the crowd. Having the volume off or not talking on it doesn't make it any less distracting and annoying.

Having the barrister grind a bag of coffee for you at Starbucks during the morning rush.

Calling somebody who serves coffee a barrister. Although, in this economy, who knows.

Messing up the pretentious title they gave themselves makes me smile a little bit on the inside. Of course, I still hand them eight bucks for a pound of coffee, so who is smiling at whom?

Probably not the lawyer making your coffee.

Basketball players making a circle with their thumb and index finger and sticking the remaining 3 fingers in the air after making a 3. Even tools on Gonzaga's bench were doing this during crunch time of a 1 vs 16 game.

Man was that kid a tool for doing that today. But I'd never seen it before. What does it mean?

What does it mean? It means they made a 3 pointer. It's what refs do to signify when a 3 pt shot is good.

OK

 

[Mister CIA]

Except when/where dealing with highly personal data, can the internet huddle together and come to agree upon commonly accepted password rules. I've got a good generic 8-character password (mixed-case, alpha and numeric) I use for message boards and tech/vendor websites, AND THEN I run across this while trying to create an account just to download a stinkin' user guide...

Password must contain at least 0 digits.Password must contain at least 8 letters.Password must be at least 8 characters in length.Password must contain at least 0 lowercase characters.

So, x3R2h7v0 is bad, and MYPASSWORD is fine. I can only suppose they lifted the code from PriceIsRight.com.

People wearing swimsuits that they have no business wearing, especially females. If you're more than 30 lbs overweight, a two-piece suit is probably not for you.

Vaaginaal rape.

Look, you're already that guy. As you stand over your prone victim that you either drugged or beat down with a sock full of quarters, you're totally committed to becoming a heinous zit on the anal flap of society. You are either too high/drunk to care or Uncle Zeke turned you into an elephant puppet when you were six years old. You have issues. You are set on your path. So as you stand over your semi-conscious victim, tell me, knowing that you're about to become a pariah for life, why on earth wouldn't go all-in and aim for the pooper?
