I have a 26.3 sticker.

Percentage of body fat?

Not the droid you're looking for.

People posting pictures of their dog on FB before taking them to the vet to put them down.

People actually do this? I'm glad I'm not friends with anyone that actually does it.

Happened the day I posted that. I was sitting there almost tearing up looking at some dog I never met owned by some guy I haven't seen since HS.

Endless threads for terrible TV shows: How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, etc.

What do people possibly talk about in those threads?

 

[Mr. Pickles]

Facebook posts that begin with: "That moment when..."

What about that moment when?

Endless threads for terrible TV shows: How I Met Your Mother, Big Bang Theory, etc.

Character development, symbolism, plot twists...the usual.

In honor of The Office ending, lets retire "that's what she said" forever.

Maybe just an Atlanta thing? I never saw them until a few years ago. I pass about 30 similar to this on my commute home.

Not so horrible.

Oh come on. People graduate HS without being able to read.

Is it a common white trash thing to hang out in the front yard way too much? Either wandering the sidewalk, sitting in a lawn chair in the driveway, or sitting on the curb for hours a day.

Not a fan.

Ugly people leaving the house.

So you want to put that in the can?

"If you're not beating your chest about how your employer is paying for you to travel somewhere for business (in more cases than not with people I know), which requires you to go to XYZ airport, you're doing it wrong." Whatever if you're going somewhere on vacation, good for you. Every single week before the work week starts up, I begin to get annoyed.

I have a 26.3 sticker.

I wonder if the stunned old dude from the Boston Marathon video has a 26.1 sticker on his car

"White outs" or any other color outs at sports arena. It's just dumb at this point.

Not a fan either. If I'm out walking I make a point of crossing the street way ahead of their house or shack.

The people who paint their cars flat black. It looks like ####.

Shaping your hands to resemble a heart

Agreed, except when my wife does it.

Granted, I'd rather she pump her fist near her mouth and puff out her cheek, but I'll take what I can get.

Agree on this one. I have a very cool college friend who does this all the time. Granted, he's a virtual rock star (ok, he runs the sound board) and he travels everywhere with cool bands and lives the life we all dreamed when we were 16, but I don't need to read about his arrivals and departures every time he steps into an airport. How about some stories about banging groupies, you tool?

For a second I thought this was going in a different direction.

please steer clear of the gmtan thread

Airport check-ins are pretty innocuous as far as Facebook posts go. It's just noting where you are. The people posting pics of everything they do while travelling, food pics, etc are way worse.

This is certainly not exclusive to white people.

Whats worse, his posts or the fact that he goes through all the effort to write a 1,300 word essay only for it to be panned or ignored?

Gordon Gekko posting

A lot of people seem to be of the opinion that the "old" GG posts were great and whoever has the keys now isn't cutting the mustard. This is false. They've never been good.

Cupcake stores. You can't swing a dead puppy without hitting a cupcake store. We stopped into one at the mall the other day - they had won on an episode of Cupcake Wars. We were with the kids and bought four of them. They were average at best.

I don't know what's up there, but the best cupcake I've ever had in my life came from one such store. I must have my cupcake stores.
