Waiters in America referring to non-sparkling water as "still water".

Sparkling vs Flat.

Still means nothing. Feel free to punch.

I've heard still used by waiters in Europe. But this was in the middle of nowhere, Minnesota.

Were you in Stillwater?

Candy Crush Saga. I'm seeing people I actually respect look like teenagers over this.

I've heard "gas or no gas" in Italy.

Still is standard in Europe from what I've experienced.

This isn't a trend that needs to stop, but one thing I've noticed in Europe is people being very precise with distances. They'll tell you a store is 37 meters down the street.

I'm proud to say I have no idea what this is.

I have no idea what this is, but it started popping up for a few people all at once. I'm assuming another stupid farmville-type thing? two clicks and it's hidden for good.

Spam emails at work with subjects designed to trick you

"need to get in touch Re: our meeting"

"New critical issue!"

"server is down"

 

[Fennis]

News stories on spelling bees.

Apparently Precious Cargo is the new Baby on Board sticker? :throatpunch:

Add to this, junk mail that has what looks like a hand-written envelope to get you to open it.

[Tiger Fan]

Taking pictures with an iPad.

So cringeworthy.

Was at a wedding this week and some lady (60ish) 2 rows in front of us was doing this non stop. It's not too far of a reach to say that if you have an ipad, then you most likely have an iphone.....why not just use that? Merely lugging the ipad around has to be a PIA

when someone takes a picture with a camera or a phone they are saying "look at you"

when they are taking a picture with a tablet they are saying "LOOK AT ME!"

I really hate that. Every time, I think "Somebody sent me something cool!" but nope, it's some junk mail.

Chicks bringing full-sized pillows on airplanes.

It's more their inconvenience than mine but I still hate it.

 

[17seconds]

OK, I've been scraping the bottom of the barrel with some of these but this is a big one...

People doing negative replies to promo posts on Facebook to make themselves look superior.

McDonalds posts anything and if you look at the comments nearly every one is about how disgusting McDs is. Like everybody is so health conscious. Most of those people have had it many times I'm sure.

The one I saw today was Samsung giving away Jay-Zs new album early to Galaxy owners. Sure enough all the comments are about his music being ####ty.

Jesus Christ people like to feel good about themselves.

"Friendly 32" tall child-like figure with red ball cap holds a red warning flag and displays a large SLOW sticker"

I agree, whoever buys it must be on the slow side.

Admittedly I haven't scoured all 25 pages of this, but when a celebrity refers to another one by a different version of their name than anyone else uses reeks of DBness. In a LOOKATME..i-am-such-good-friends-with-X-than-i-actually-call-him-Y sort of way

Example: A twitter post last week from some random celebrity re: James Gandolfini. "Jim was one of the greats of our time." Never heard anyone call him Jim, EVER.

Bobby De Niro begs to differ.

I think Martin Marty Scorcese is the only person i have ever heard use that name. He probably gets a pass.

I think I heard Frankie Coppola say it. Maybe Jo-Jo Pesci too.

I would have said "those dopey YOLO shirts" until I saw a dude the other day with a shirt that said : "OOYL" and then had a big picture of Yoda underneath. I liked it.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

If I ever run into Pesci, I'm definately calling him "Jo-Jo".

[The Hank]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but any time a sports tv host sends it to the 'experts' for their analysis I cringe when they say "We'll break it all down for you tonight on SportsCenter!" or "Sending it to Jaws and the guys to break it down"... stop it

This one's not as funny. The one I saw had the OOYL in huge block letters across the top and then just Yoda's face below it. Black shirt with white print.

That's some deep meme'ing right there

People in a big office environment that walk up and down the hallways snapping their fingers. You announcing yourself in the doosh-iest way possible, or joining a 1930's street gang?

Stop it, please.

WTF?

Do they do the crouch walk down the hallways too?

 

[butcher boy]

People using "Let's touch base" in work emails. Always hated that expression. I want to write a macro that replaces that text with "I'ma holla atchoo latah"

Probably been covered, but anyone who used the phrase "YOLO" in passing conversation should probably just go ahead and find a nice cliff to jump off of.

Never seen it but could totally see some sales doosh doing it when something goes right. And it's on the way to the bathroom because he's so excited he has to pee.

Reminds me of the scene in Silver Streak where Gene Wilder uses shoe polish to make himself look black and goes through security at the train station snapping his fingers and dancing like he thinks black people do.

I also liked the part where he tries to be tough in prison and walks around saying "yeah, we bad, we BAD."

I use "YOLO" as often as I can. Always in the phrase "You only YOLO once, right?"
