People at work who on Wednesdays say "I'm so glad the week is half over"
People at work who celebrate when Friday comes around like it doesn't happen every week
People at work who on Monday morning ask "how was the weekend"
(Note: I like the week to end as much as anybody, but the same people make the same comments over and over again. It's like corporate Groundhogs Day!)
When there is free food at the office and everybody refuses to take the last item, so they cut, pick, slice, and tear off a piece so everyone is left with a hardening section of the item and a bunch of crumbs - Worse, when they eat everything but leave the box because it's obviously too much of a bother to throw it in the trash
People who don't say "thank you" when you hold the door for them
People who don't give the "wave" when you let them into your lane on the highway
Anybody that questions taste in music - I don't care if I like the commercial band of the month and you think it sucks MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN...you keep listening to the garage band that nobody else cares about because you feel like a trendsetter. I'll continue to enjoy what I like.
Anybody who uses the term "jumps the shark"
Anybody who uses "leet speak"
Internet tough guys
When you're telling a story and somebody you're telling it to takes over to make it all about him/herself
People who won't tell you what the Blue Man Group does - every jackoff has the same response "I just can't explain it. You have to see it for yourself!"
The comic strip Zippy - never funny. Ever. EVER! With that, anybody who claims to "get" and enjoy Zippy
More to come (I'm sure you can't wait!)
Seems a little hypocritical to me.
It's admittedly hypocritical, but I don't care. I can accept somebody liking Michael Bolton, Best of American Idol, or Vanilla Ice. I can even understand why you'd get some sort of enjoyment out of that. Plus, my point was more that people feel the need to chime in about another person's taste even if they're not part of the conversation. If I like "Band A" and I'm talking with other people who enjoy "Band A", making yourself part of the conversation to say "wow, they suck. You have ZERO taste in music" is just unnecessary and is pretty much a form of trolling.
But I can't accept, nor believe, that anybody enjoys Zippy unless they are being an absolute contrarian. I firmly believe that POS strip only exists because it's safe and syndicators don't have to worry about the content. It also appeals to rubes and people easily amused - "ooh look! They have pointy heads and wacky outfits! How hysterical!"
