When you accidentally say something in Fahrenheit and everyone goes "OH poo poo WE'RE ON THE SURFACE OF THE SUN IT'S SOOO HOT OLOLOLOLOL"

People using Fahrenheit.

Also people who stop in their tracks immediately after getting off a bus/train/escalator. Especially since in the last case they're going to get rammed and I don't feel good ramming a little old lady. (It's always little old ladies.)

When someone asks if you're busy, you say yes, and they pause, get this quisical look in their eye, and then start into their story anyway.

People whose first words after me answering the phone are "are you in a bad place?" like yeah well you know life is hell and so on but could you just get on with your business instead of asking me stupid questions? If I was in the business of getting eaten by a bear or something I probably wouldn't answer the phone.

Oh God, this. Especially people who say "what?" before youve finished.

I worked with a guy who would tell stories only he didn't really speak as much as mumble and when you said "what?" because you couldn't understand anything he was saying he'd get really mad. After a while I learned everyone else just didn't listen to his stories.

It's weird because the cutting motion of the knife takes more effort so people typically put the knife on their right hand. On the other hand, most people don't really care how you eat so do whatever.

I would never eat food I'm not able to cut with my left hand*. (I'm not left-handed and I don't care which way people hold their cutlery, I just find this an obsolete argument for holding the knife in the right hand.)

*) Holding a knife that is. I don't karate-chop my food.

Speaking of area-relative cutlery use, I've noticed a thing where Euro folks swing an upside-down fork into their mouths as quickly as possible. Just really jerk it in there, like it's actively trying to get away from them. I'm used to holding the fork upside-down while cutting, then twisting it rightside-up as you move it toward your face. The Euro way just seems so panicked and uptight and makes me wonder if they're scared of dropping it or can't balance poo poo or what.

Why wait?

In regards to Game of Thrones:

Whenever anyone is talking about the show and refers to Daenerys Targaryen as Khaleesi, as if it was her name. Khaleesi is just the Dothraki term for queen. It is not, nor has it ever been her name. People didn't start referring to Joffrey as "Your Grace", but referring to Daenerys as "Khaleesi" is pretty much doing the same thing.

It's expounded by people who are now actually naming their daughters Khaleesi. Which is another thing that bothers me (naming your children after pop culture characters.)

People refer to the actual queen as the queen literally all the time.

Generally people who can't just enjoy something without adding ironic caveats. I enjoy some bad games, but what I enjoy about them is the good aspects that sometimes come up. I don't play it to laugh at the poor controls or complain about the muddy graphics, I often play for interesting world building or advancement systems. Just let yourself enjoy what you enjoy without having to prove something to your peers, even if it's generically written. I enjoy a few sitcoms, I know they aren't very good but some characters still get a laugh so fine. Hell, I know Repo: The Genetic Opera is terrible as a movie but I like a few of the songs and Anthony Stewart Head's performance.

I've been playing System Shock recently and if I talked about it to someone without mentioning that the controls are just plain wrong, someone who hasn't tried it might think it's a fun game for anyone to play based on all the good things it has (personally I can make do because I've lived most of my life before playability was invented anyway) :shrug:

Less than one second later, Adam Conley hits Gregory Polanco with a pitch to load the bases, then gives up a triple, bringing the score to 8-0 Pirates. I'm a jinx."

Response #1: "Yay sportsball?"
Response #2: "Put the ball in the place and get larger numbers of things!"

Why do people think this is so clever? I know if I said some poo poo like "Yay video games, put a pixel through another pixel and win points!" they'd have something to say about it.

The only thing more banal to post on Facebook about than what you had for lunch is what someone else did in a game (doesn't matter if it's an actual sport or snooker/golf/darts/NASCAR or a board game or even one of those computer video games) :smuggo: / :can:

I never imagined someone lying about food allergies because they disliked something about a meal. Who the hell does that? How hard is it to say "I don't care for X, is there something you would recommend?" to a server? Most restaurants offer enough options nowadays that most folks can find something they'll eat on a menu.

Doesn't really apply to restaurants but I've found that whenever you're offered something with X and you say "oh no thanks I don't like X" it's about a half hour of "you really should try it" and "you can pick X out". (I don't go the "I'm allergic to X" route I usually just curse, leave and go to Hesburger.)

There was a WinCo near my old apartment that had those dry storage bins of nuts, candy, cereal, etc. and a ton of self-checkout stands.
I sometimes wondered how horribly you could rob the place by buying pine nuts and inputting them as peanuts, which was the next bin over and one digit off.

As for something that makes me unreasonably angry, when I'm sitting in a near empty theater and another person comes in and sits directly in front of me. I hate you. I don't know your name and I hate you.

Are you sitting in the middle? Because gently caress if I'm going to deviate from the sweet spot just because someone else is in the sweeter spot one row back.
