Things that irk you......

How about vacation pictures of your feet next to your food?

 

the term "foodie" and people who unabashedly refer to themselves as such. it's pretentious and condescending. you're a food fan. No need for the cute word. Few people are less interesting to me than people who want to talk about food. Maybe beer lovers. Or beeries

 

People who talk about music. Musicies.

 

unless it's Jim Reeves.

 

First rule of Jim Reeves Club...

 

Two recent thing come to mind that fit the title of this thread:

* People telling me to "give it up" for someone. No. I'm not going to clap for someone just because someone told me to clap.

* "Lebron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers ..." "U2 and Bono ..." as if the so-called "leader" of the team/band/whatever needs any more narcissism in their life. At least in sports teams' cases, they were the Cleveland Cavaliers long before Lebron James put on his panties and they'll be the Cleveland Cavaliers long after Lebron James is gone.

 

People who get their cash from the ATM, then sit there sorting it in their wallet, putting their receipt away and whatever else with four cars in line behind them. Don't sit there for another 90 seconds after pulling the cash out of the machine.

 

I actually don't know if the Cavs would still be in Cleveland if the they didn't win that lottery.

 

Add the terms "In it to win it" and "Go big or go home."

 

It does not irk me, but why do they make baby clothes that have pockets?
Why does a 3-month-old need a breast pocket on a romper? Is he going to carry a crayon in there?
He cannot color yet. He cannot do anything yet that requires him to carry stuff in a pocket.

 

I got a co-worker who listens to a podcast or music almost all day long, so that half the time I'm communicating with him -- and we work on a comms team -- he doesn't hear me and I have to throw shit at him to get his attention or send him a ping. I get occasionally listening to music, but all day long is fucking annoying and unprofessional. I'm not the only one who constantly has to shout his name or go to lengths to get his attention
