Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.

Things that shouldn't piss you off, but do.

Feel free to add your own. I'll give two really quick.

1. This girl I'm friends with on facebook makes a post about how she is now pregnant. (She's 19 btw) obviously every random girl she is friends with on facebook felt the need to congratulate her on such an amazing accompolishment. That was midly annoying to sift through, but I understand it's a big deal and all...I just have a cold heart as of late lol.

Anyways about 2hrs later she makes a new post about being pregnant because the first wasn't enough. Awesome. Like 15 mins ago she makes ANOTHER post about it saying "Can't sleep, tummy hurts, hello prego life 😀😀"

It took every ounce of my energy not to type something extremely rude like, "we ****ing get it, your pregnant."

2. Me and my friend drive 30 mins to play beerpong with these chics we met randomly one night. 2 are definitely good looking....ones a chubbba wubba though. Ok lookin face but yeah....Anyways were all playing BP along with 2 other dudes that we didnt know would be there..( I guess I understand them wanting to have 2 of their guy friends there since we've never formally hungout, but whatever...) my friend randomly makes comments the whole time whenever the chubba wubba talks to me such as "that's all you" or "wheres your girl at" when she leaves the room.

Any clue why he feels the need to say things like that? He's always been considering kind of the **** blocking type amongst our ground of friends even if it's never negatively effected me. J/W if someone can get all psychological on me and tell me why he always does that.

It's basically a garbage stat, but at the same time it seems weird not to at least track such a core aspect of the game as some kind of player statistic.

Then again other sports mostly don't really do that, I mean people talk about QB wins in football but it's more of an informal, not-really-defined stat. Maybe goalie W-L records would be the closest analogue, in a "primary guy on the team who tries to keep the other team from scoring" sense.

Athletes (especially football players) wearing jewelry during games.

It doesn't even have to be huge and flashy. Even an earring is enough.

When players wear chains, it concerns me. Seems like a great opportunity for the player to get choked, or somebody's finger to get caught in there and injured.

Of course, it never happens, it's just my overly cautious nature.


o/u price of Mookie Betts' gold chain?

I'll set the line at $20,000.


At least in baseball, wearing that **** slows you down and, thus, ever so slightly lessens the chance of your team winning.

Just wanting one decent non-serious tv show at 1am, that is actually good or funny after paying cox/hbo/sho many monies a month. Playas gotta relax sometimes. Bridget Jones Diary 2 is currently the best option. War stuff, Penguin, angry revenge girl, traffik, shitty marvel movie. Cutting the cord.

Aqib Talib did Aqib Talib things to Michael Crabtree's chain that time.

also Talib seems to be off the TV since his brother murdered someone


also get grumpy about jewelry and nails, feels to me like wearing a watch on your pitching wrist.
whipping a three foot knot filled pony tail around while chasing rebounds is something completely different, potentially influencing the play of others.
but suppose it's the same as if you had a third arm, as long as you grew it yourself

As part of the 2017 Apple Watch investigation, a former Yankees staffer and a Red Sox player who'd previously played for the Yankees revealed to MLB investigators the details of the Yankees' scheme.

The letter's contents, above all, confirm the long-held suspicions of many players that cheating predated – and was far more prevalent than – the Astros' 2017 scheme. Since then, current and former Astros players have endured the brunt of fan and media criticism.

Red Sox starter Chris Sale was among a chorus of players who noted earlier this month that stripping the 2017 Astros of their title was folly, given the widespread use of electronics over the last decade.

.

Possible HOFer calling it folly, no big deal.

Those squirt hand soap dispensing bottles. I should just take ten seconds to learn how they work but instead I just pull and wiggle randomly and 75% of the time I just break it.

Nah, this is justified. We should be star trekkin right meow.


Baseball players that gets payed zillions of $$$, and then have an incentive clause bonus that pays them more $$$ if they makes the All-Star team.

"Hey mf, how about this, if you don't make the All Star team you owe the
stupid aholes (Yankees, Dodgers, Phillies, Mets) that signed you a partial rebate."

These two things are essentially the same.

So, good one for the thread!


"Add to cart to see the price" on Kohl's website.

I mean, it wouldn't be that hard for me to add the item, then delete it from cart if I don't like the price, but how about you show me what I'm going to pay before moving down the path toward buying it?

as someone who's designed checkout processes myself - that's a wild system

but i assure you, it's backed by data, something like 95% of items put into shopping carts are never purchased - perhaps they found making this weird funnel improves the conversion rate?

I think it is because of restrictions by the manuf. on the lowest advertised price. This is how they get around that.

good call, that's probably it

also perhaps as a scraping deterrent because perhaps their competitors were just seeing what they charged and reducing it by $1 whereas being required to put it in the cart first makes scraping the entire catalogue of prices very difficult

Complicated, convoluted handshakes

I've adopted the fist bump in non-formal settings because of this, and even then, it doesn't always go as planned.

wondering if there's a certain number of gestures you're comfortable with or more a degree of difficulty?

I am a grown man. There are 3 acceptable options.

- traditional
- fist bump
- upward facing clasp with a bro hug

anything else becomes something that you will be judged for
