    I'll add the opposite of the earlier elevator point: People who act like complete honkin' idiots when the elevator gets to their floor. Huh? This is where I'm supposed to be? What's up with that? It must be magic! Herpa derpa let me take 15 seconds to leave the damned elevator regardless of people waiting to get on herpa derpa

    Have the damned self-respect required to know where you are, dammit. Get off the elevator in a timely fashion. Not hard.

    Giving the closer the win after he's the one who blows the save. I understand you have to give the win to someone, but a pit in my stomach makes me feel like we're rewarding the guy to screwing the pooch and getting bailed out.

    Twitter play-by-play of any event. If I wanted to know that much about it, I would be there.

    I've always called that the Minnesota Roadblock. But instead of driving the speed limit, they're generally going about 5 under it.

    The complete misuse of the phrase "beg the question."
