Shit that annoys you

[stfu&gbtw]

That's pretty much right up my ally... I may like you, yet. Was at a party last night and introduced myself as Bernie Madoff, Jr. to a couple of Boston gentry, etc. Great conversation starter and made it a lot more fun.

That's awesome. But I still don't like you. :-P Fuck the red sox.

People who write poorly researched sensationalist books accusing entire industries of fraud.

[spook]

People who are super serious about their social causes. I'm currently stuck at a pot luck dinner for a local community garden... A friend of mine is here too - our wives are members. Everyone is complaining about some Monsanto billboard out on I70... So when we filled out our name tags, I wrote Monsanto Corp under my name, and my friend wrote Yum Brands. We wrote it kind of small and people are consistently leaning in to read what it says. The reactions are simply precious. Hippies and social activists annoy me, but this is totally making up for it.

i did something similar to that on halloween years ago and dressed up as a bible-thumping bush supporter after bush v. gore. all my wife's friends' husbands are super conservative so it was pretty funny. all i had to do was talk to everybody once.

Maybe you should try Kimono brand, they're sized for asians.

People that take credit for other peoples creative work. Little did he know, I got ears on that call. Lighting the match on that bridge.

Came to my favorite cheeseburg spot after the gym and so far it's been fun. 2 old broads that sound like they smoke at least 1000 heaters a day between them are right next to me complaining about everything under the sun. That and I think the Frozen soundtrack is playing... LOUD.

Good news is the bartender is a total douche

Artisanal toast. Fucking toast!

Of course it may just be annoying because I only now heard about artisanal toast. TGR's hipsters like Hugh Conway and YetiMan have probably been on top of this for months.

Love the "post-mortem" conference call that thanks everyone BUT the people that actually shot and edited the thing you're all blowing yourselves over. Last one I participated in I simply mentioned that the shooter and editor didn't take the day off, and that maybe... just maybe the creatives in the chain deserved at least a mention other than the "P.S.: kudos to the team" that they got.

After the 5th time this happened in the last 4 months I took a brain-nap and only shot what I was told rather than offering up shots/angles/locations like I normally do. Next conference call was all about what went wrong.

All Management types are prone to take credit for the people that actually produce the product, but Editorial types take the cake.

Yup, been there. The pat on the back in passing doesn't really help when everyone is bloviating about how awesome it is all the while no one knowing who actually did anything on it.

The infuriating thing of this instance, this cat is not even involved with my group. He is from a company we bought in London. He was part of the original email chain brainstorming if video was even the right deliverable for the client. He gave some good ideas that we fed off of, but he was not involved in anything other than an email two months ago. He wasn't involved in the script writing, the interviewing, storyboarding, editing process, nothing. He asked for the final version a couple days before the call and made it out like his crew in London did the work in the phone call. He had exactly fuckall to do with the final deliverable. If it was my boss saying these things I would understand, but him, nope. Not on my watch.

The funny thing was our VP of client services was on that call and I was working for her on this project. She heard what he said on the call and shame emailed him to everyone on the call later via email praising me and the other influential person that helped get the job done and CC'd us. He hasn't responded to that email yet.

And on to my complaint of the day. The fact our company uses a certain font and not every fucking person has the same version of the font. When I open up a PPT or video project and I have to change the font of everything because the person doesn't have the correct version it pisses me off. It's our corporate font, get the correct version. And yes, our version is correct, we did the re-branding and are corporate design. It is everyone else that sucks.

People who nod incessantly as you're expressing an opinion or telling a story. Even worse are people who say 'correct' as they nod in agreement. It really should be legal to hit these folks.

[spook]

maybe you are boring as fuck

[jma233]

It's certainly possible that I'm boring......your wife sure doesn't want to talk when we get together

At airports, people that stand right up against the baggage carousel blocking it while waiting for their shit instead of standing back so that everyone can all watch and step up to get luggage when it comes by before theirs.

Did someone already say that?

Grinding on a long climb, thinking there is more teeth to spit out. Go to shift, nothin' left.
