I had a coworker who said "doot do doooo" any time she had to think about something for longer than five seconds, and it drove me insane That said, I have a tendency to nod at inanimate objects -- nodding at a script when it gives me a result, nodding at a recipe when I move on to the next step, etc.

jazzyhattrick posted:I would talk to a doctor about that, you can probably fix it to some degree with orthotics, or at least they may make walking a bit more comfortable. The gait you describe probably isn't great for your joints and could cause you worse issues when you're older. Oh I'm in no pain, it's much more comfortable to walk tippy reverse pigeon toed than to try and emulate normies. Only thing I need to remember is to not stand and bend straight when I'm doing squats and stuff, I need to have my feet and knees cockeyed or I will fall.

Hearing someone say "It's one of those things where..." and then a LOT of the time, they go on to describe a situation that isn't that common.

I'd still double check with a specialist, just because it doesn't hurt now, doesn't mean it won't later. Maybe the doctor will say you're all good and you can keep doing your cool unique walk. However they may say "Oh yeah, when you hit 65 your knees and lower back will be turbofucked and you'll spend your days in complete agony praying for the sweet release of death. Here's some little things to put in your shoes to make that not happen." Best to find out just in case imo.

'yea no' then it's not patronising.

AKZ posted:Disagree, I've watched coworkers buy time with it before eventually switching it to the affirmative for several years. Exactly. "Hey, can I use this thing for 5 minutes?" "Yeah, no, go ahead." Vs "We did this thinking it'd be a good idea, didn't we?" "Yeah, no.... it sucks". Each time, you emphasize the one you actually mean.

Charles Bukowski posted:My legs and feet turn outward so I walk and bend weird. I also tend to put all my weight on the balls of my feet so I walk tiptoed as well. It is exhausting trying to force myself to walk like everyone else in public, but I've always been terrified of not doing so. I can imagine some sort of horrible bullying event happened continuously and I've long blocked it out. I'm 35 and people still comment about it and I feel so embarrassed despite haaaaating caring about other people's opinions. I'm sure this will be a problem until I'm dead and I'm already in therapy. I used to think "balls of the feet" referred to your heel because that's the only part of your foot that looks like a ball but it's referring to the upper part right beneath your toes. How the gently caress does that weird pad constitute a ball

How the gently caress does that weird pad constitute a ball Sesamoid bones in that area under the padding look like balls. Also the padding looks like several balls together maybe? It's the part of the foot I pivot around like a raptor on.

“Yeah, well…” Any time you’re having a conversation with like, counterpoints or whatever. People say silly poo poo to fill time because they’re embarrassed to have to think about their outlook for five seconds. It’s like the least bit of introspection will mark them as a weakling to the circling wolves. “We should go to plano for Taco Bell and liquor “ “We’ve already got Taco Bell and liquor.” “Yeah, well…” Kills me waiting for it

I always notice when someone is standing on a table spinning around and shouting at everyone around them about the government trying to stop honest workers, and that steroids should be mandatory for all men because it's natural to have low testosterone. I've recognised the pattern as "Christmas with my brother".

Not sure if this fits but: English-native speakers pronouncing aesthetic as *assthetic*. Since the vaporwave fad, every art, movie and gaming youtuber uses that word at least once every 20 minutes and loving mispronounces it. The A in "ae" is silent, you pretentious idiots.

Rupert Buttermilk posted:Exactly. When people say "Yeah, no, go ahead" <and use my stapler> or whatever, in that context the "Yeah" comes pre-loaded with "Oh" as an exclamation. As in, you've caught them unaware and they are saying "Oh yeah! No, it's alright. Use the stapler." How is this hard to parse? When people say "Yeah no that's not going to work." Its a term of sarcasm meaning "Yes. I've listened to your idea. No. It's stupid." Again, this isn't hard to understand.

YeahTubaMike posted:I had a coworker who said "doot do doooo" any time she had to think about something for longer than five seconds, and it drove me insane Lordy, just anyone who has to make a sound while talking because they’re not speaking for more than one second. “Ummm/uhhh” is a good repetitive one, but the one that drives me insane is the “tsk”ers. What is a “tsk”er? It’s a person who “tsk”s their tongue in their mouth because (I believe they believe) their mouth will go dry while speaking if they don’t. Example: “I brought you all here today because [tsk] we need to evaluate a plan [tsk] to help better our company. Ten years ago [tsk], we were doing great [tsk], but numbers are falling and [tsk] we need to [tsk] do better as a company [tsk].” Makes me wanna pull some tongues out with a pair of pliers.
