Every once in a while I see reports of a doctor / nurse who cut the cheese in surgery and everyone freaks out because they think a bowel has been perforated till someone owns up.

Pretty sure this was on Scrubs.

I've heard that Scrubs is actually the most realistic medical show in terms of the interpersonal poo poo.

WampaLord posted:

They also had a medical consultant who actually made sure that the medical jargon they used was accurate.

You would think all medical shows would have this person, but apparently not based on poo poo I've heard in House, Grey's Anatomy, and ER.

These make me happy because I love Scrubs.

My contribution? If you're in the hallway at a hotel, shut the gently caress up, no matter what time it is. There are going to be people on your floor that don't have the same sleep schedule as you, guaranteed.

I can eat whatever the gently caress I want whenever the gently caress I want.

Anyone who inserts the phrase "Everyone's entitled to an opinion" into a discussion, especially a politician in a televised interview or debate.

It's a truism, it goes without saying. It literally goes without saying, there's genuinely no point in saying those words out loud and it adds absolutely nothing to any discussion. All it does is waste time and deflect discussion away from the opinion which was just expressed which I guess is the actual reason that certain politicians seems to say it so often.

"I'm just sayin'!"

I know you're talking. You don't have to verbally establish that you're saying something. Oh it was just because you're about to say something racist, gotcha.

The very idea that someone enjoys "rolling coal" specifically to gently caress up other peoples breathing. I think such people are so irredeemably broken that the best thing we as a society can do is execute them. With smoke.

I live in a banker city in the south that has a lot of generational wealth, and while walking to a nearby grocery store for beer at 10pm, a huge bro truck revved insanely loud as it passed me on the sidewalk. Without thinking I raised my middle finger and kept walking to the store. Whatever, gently caress this prick, he's trying to scare people on purpose. He ended up hopping a divider to pull a u-turn so he could follow me through the parking lot. I guess my peeve is rich assholes that go out of their way to try and start poo poo because they can.

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.

Using three letter airport codes in place of actual geographic names. Sorry, but I don't happen to know where BAK is.

I like the ones that are named after the identifier, makes things so much easier for everyone and I kinda wish that was the norm.

LAX, RDU, etc.

E: I know they're technically not named that but 99% of people call them that.

Try working in shipping - I work for an ocean liner and our 3-letter designations are all hosed up

F96 - NY
YSV - Savannah


or there's Ho Chi Minh City which is still SGN, which tells you how old a lot of these designations are.

It gets worse in aviation as the airports get smaller. Our airways are all mostly numbers, but the 5 character waypoints can be fun, like NINJA TRTLS going into South Carolina, or several routes: FFORD SHLBI, MOPPR CHRGR and CHVEE CRVET all converging on FLLGG FFNSH going into Charlotte (a big racing community.)

It's obnoxious that they weren't this fun with all arrival procedures.

I would share a screenshot of his poo poo but I can't black-out people's names at the moment.

My Facebook post: "I turn on the Mets game. Five seconds later, deGrom gives up a two-run homer that brings the game from 2-1 Mets to 2-3 Nats. gently caress this. I turn on the Marlins game. 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.

Exactly. Everyone I know that does this plays video games. Come on, man, just let people like things.

But the one thing he does that I absolutely can't look past is that when he smokes he like forces it out of his lungs and is loud as gently caress doing it.

Worse is when my buddy uses his wicked sick vape pen while talking to me on the phone. It sounds like 4 seconds of him spraying whipped cream directly into the mic, followed by him blowing out a birthday cake. I hate it.

Every time there's a gif or picture of a thing that vaguely sort of resembles another bit of media, there will be a post saying "new [thing] looking good!" It's a dumb meme that's existed as long as I've been here.

New Rocky lookin good!
New Fast and the Furious lookin good!
New Godzilla lookin good!
New Toy Story lookin good!
New Iron Man lookin good!
New Jaws lookin good!
New Ninja Turtles lookin good!

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.

It took years for me to finally be an rear end in a top hat to a stranger over something I've dealt with every other loving day.

My full name is one letter off from a very famous TV character. And today it got brought up by some frat dude in a bookstore of all places. The lady behind the desk was really nice and I came off as a huge sperg.

:) Hi I have a pickup for Rolo.
:v: Hey bro did you say your name was [Person]?
:geno: Jesus... no.
:v: Anyone ever ask you that?
:geno: Every time anyone sees my ID or asks for my name. Every single time. Thanks.

Sometimes they'll just start spouting references and quotes of the show like I have it memorized. I'm not the fictional character, what the hell are you expecting me to do in this situation?

Learn from me: if you ever meet someone with a name like Harry Botter or something, just leave them alone about it.

When people don't even wait for the elevator doors to open fully to try and pile in it while my rear end still needs to get off the drat thing. Some old gently caress in Florida almost shoulder checks me, backs up, and waves me on with a "your majesty" look on his face.
