The phrase "no worries". I'll usually say, "Oh, no problem" instead of "You're welcome," but I can't stand "No worries" as a response. Maybe it's because I've noticed the one guy in the office I find annoying says it a lot, but I really don't like that phrase. Where the hell did it come from? Is "Hakuna Matata" to blame?

If you’re old enough and from the US, I would say it started with Crocodile Dundee.

I also prefer "no problem" but will now make an effort to say "no worries" more often.

No worries doesn't bother me nearly as much as signing every email with "cheers". Even if they actually are british/australian where it is used commonly it's still annoying. You are telling me to do something, don't say "cheers" like you're doing me a favor. Just say "Thanks," so I at least have the illusion of being appreciated.

Like "Hey, I hung up the laundry while you were out" "YAAAAAAAYY!  "

Nobody better say "cheers" unless I have an alcoholic beverage to finish in a single go right after its utterance.

Top lists that have a higher number than 10. Top 100 metal bands, top 20 FF fantasy games. Keep it small or such a list has no function.

No "Top x" list is worthwhile. It is equivalent to "my favorite X ___". Which is fine to read if you want to hear other peoples' opinions, but nobody's top anything list on any topic will always match 100%. It is not a coincidence that the vast, vast majority of "best tv shows/movies/musicians" etc will be almost exclusively stuff released in the past decade.

Except some who will be on the list just because they were extremely popular at one time despite being extremely outdated and painfully average, like Alice Cooper. Trying to get a bit more into blues rock, I am somewhat familiar with Jack White and Led Zeppelin, but otherwise in the dark besides 2 underground albums I listen to. I like checking what people like since it increases the likelyhood of finding good music, but man it's so overwhelming.

When you are an open person and open up personally about something deep and sad thats happened to you, and then people feel that its ok to spread the story around cause you didn't disclaimer it with "dont tell anybody this but..."

"Cheers" as a general thank you always sounds super sarcastic, it's like when people on forums write a troll post and sign it with "Thanks in advance" except worse because people do it in real life.

Considering how many people over 50 I've encountered who felt like they needed to teach me a lesson on why saying "No Problem" is bad and ruining society, I generally don't care what you use as a greeting/response. People who really overuse exclamation points in emails do throw me off though.

You're australian and probably use it all the time so you wouldn't understand. It's like when someone calls you "friend" but they're not. The positive connotation of the word in a vacuum doesn't match the content of the email/sentence.

I am told that "kein Problem" is taking root in German and is causing consternation, both at the implication that it normally would be a problem, and in that it's an obvious calque from English.

Whispering in the office is much more distracting than just talking at a slightly lower volume. The raspy noise seems to carry more and when I hear whispering I start listening harder because my natural assumption is they are talking about me. Then when I piece enough together to realize they are just talking about something that doesn't even need to be clandestine it annoys me because I just wasted a bunch of time.

Tiggum posted:Whispering stands out whereas talking quietly is just a normal thing that people do. Things that stand out attract more attention than things we're used to. If you want to avoid notice you should try to behave in a way that is expected rather than in a way that will generate less noise or movement than the other people around you. It's like in comedies when characters are like "Act natural" and they proceed to just stand there whistling for no reason and I'm just like "How is that less suspicious?"

Nothing I hate more than apologizing for something that wasn't my fault just to make peace, and then the fucker wants to re-litigate the whole thing as if the apology weren't obviously to move on from. gently caress that, I'll tell you exactly what I was holding back last time, this time, since you asked.

My brother is about 5' 10" and lightly built but strong, his friend is 6' 10" and broad shouldered. He does a trick where he jumps into my brothers arms like Scooby and it's hilariously impossible. The big guy does most of the work, but it comes off like you're watching a cartoon.

It's fine when the picking up happens for a reason, but I've had strangers just pick me up like I'm a cat or something. Hooooo boy zero to mad so fast that it probably affects the weather or something.

Things switching to requiring me to download an app. I don’t want to download a student ID app. I want to have a physical ID. I am thinking about lying and claiming to not have a smart phone.

I'd rather have something tangible that is easy to remember to bring that will always be good once you have it in your possession, as opposed to something that basically ceases to exist if you forgot to charge your battery and it dies before boarding. I know they can just bring it up on their computer and print you a ticket, but then you'll be the last guy to board and it's just a whole ordeal that could have been prevented by just having a printed ticket from the beginning.

Usually they're too busy to step away from the line for stuff like that.

Why not just scan the qr code printed on the ticket like a normal person? edit: Oh I see, you're talking about if your phone died while you're in line to board. I was assuming that you, wanting a physical ticket, would have gotten one prior to boarding.

I thought that was pretty clear. e: yeah that's what I do, it's more of an observation of how everyone seems to only have it on their phone now. It's a second-hand peeve. anyway the point is edgar is right - having physical copies is always going to be superior to digital and we don't need an app for every aspect of our lives. yeah I eat ass has a new favorite as of 20:39 on Aug 1, 2019 |

People who feign stupidity to get out of doing work. I ordered dinner and the driver called and said "all I see are businesses" so I said "yes, the apartments are on the 2nd and third floor above them" and they just kept saying "I don't see apartments, what do you want me to do". What do you think I want you to do? Uber eats is spoiling other traditional delivery drivers into thinking they can tell customers to meet them at the car. I'm paying a 3.99 delivery fee plus a tip on top of that, the least you can do is climb two flights of stairs.
