honda whisperer posted: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.

Benny Harvey posted: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.

Mu Zeta posted: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.

Das Boo posted: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?

Master Twig posted:In regards to Game of Thrones: People refer to the actual queen as the queen literally all the time. BioEnchanted posted: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) 3D Megadoodoo has a new favorite as of 12:45 on Apr 24, 2017 |

Not really a thing people do but nerds do do: using "X doesn't exist" to mean "I don't like X". As in "There are only two Robocop movies" or "I'm glad they never made a movie out of League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" or poo poo like that.

Inzombiac posted:I hate people that get really territorial over video game consoles. Maybe it made sense when we were kids and only had Nintendo and Sega but a 30 year-old person who ONLY plays Xbox or whatever is so weird. I invited you over to play Smash, don't be a jerk about it. Maybe he was doing the opposite of being a jerk about it and blamed the system instead of the game because Smash games are un-fun to play but he didn't want to bad-mouth your favourite game

SUPERMAN'S GAL PAL posted: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.)
