those ugly ass lyft mustaches
the media whores who persist in the fiction that lyft isn't a cab service

Flavor of the week econo-speak buzzwords that every dope latches onto to sound smart and uses as much as possible in any conversation or debate. "Metrics" and "granular" are 2 that come to mind.

Hugh Conway · 09-20-2013, 12:26 PM

sweet "pivot"

**liv2ski** · 09-20-2013, 12:43 PM

That I always seem to be a day late and a dollar short. Fuck.

You wouldn't do well in the ad/marketing business that is for sure. My days are filled with gnashing of teeth at these types of buzzwords. If I hear "bring it to life" anymore I might go insane.

Websites that insist I use a pull-down when entering my state. Jesus, just use my Zip to figure it out.

I hear "cloud" occasionally. I had a consultant go on a rant about how we used to just store data on a remote server until some yuppie was allowed to bastardize the English language.

Well, to be fair "remote server" was usually in one location, where cloud servers just spread the info around.

Right? wtf is that? They KNOW the state from the zip, why do they make us do that? because they can?

Driving home from the field hockey/soccer field where you saw the whole town and realizing that every poppy sees from your bagel ended up in your teeth.

At least I don't reel like weed...

iPhones that auto correct reek to reel.

National Grid. That company annoys the shit out of me.
You supply my electricity and gas. But I have to go to different websites, have different accounts, etc to pay each bill. One lets me pay right from the website and the other sends a bill that I can't pay unless I mail it in. It's 2013, send me an email of my bill with a "pay" button. When I click it, the bill is paid by whatever source I have set up. Get with the times. I almost think they want people to get confused and fuck up paying them to incur fees.

Now that's quick, Joel.

Changing something for no reason. The command button has done a certain thing in After Effects forever when working with the pen tool. In Adobe CC it does the exact opposite as it has always done. Instead of single selecting a control point it just deletes it now when held down. This is so ingrained in my daily ritual that I don't even think of doing it, I just do it. This is going to fuck a lot of people over.

On a positive note, if a comp has audio it will actually render with audio by default now. No longer will I have to render twice because I forgot to check the audio box!

Moron product managers/ founders with no common sense at start up companies who question whether it is worth their time to meet with the heads of the biggest potential customers they could dream of so they can demo their product.

Oatmeal raisin cookies in poorly lit hipster coffee shops that look like chocolate chip cookies.

Fuckhead baristas who don't warn you about such things before you buy and open them. Do I really look like a consumer of oatmeal raisin cookies? Wtf? Did I ask for soy or something?

Early season snowstorms that turn to rotten base. And Kale.

I was thinking I was the only one that this annoyed.

When the gas prices drop right after I fill up.

Left turn signals in SLT on 50 and the tourists who stop in the straight lane trying to turn left when there is a dedicated left turn lane ten feet to their left

emails from people confirming that i have successfully unsubscribed from their SPAM emails. Because what I really wanted was just one more email from you.

I apologize for the inconvenience. I'll be sure not to send you any more emails.

If you know anyone who works in a data center or with IT equipment please pass on my contact details. I appreciate your time. J

Thank you,

People that start talking about something without referencing what they are talking about and expecting you to understand them. "So I was just looking at the thing with the lines, and I think if we made them lighter it would it would blend in better with the background?" Excuse me, what are you babbling about?
