Friday OT #1 - Just STFU

I kind of hate it when people at work say things like “my time is too valuable,” or “my time is too important.”
 
Repeat-the-joke guy.

If nobody laughed the first time, it wasn't funny.
Saying it louder doesn't make it funnier.
Laughing at your own unfunny joke or comment doesn't make it funnier.

And saying "that's funny, I don't care who you are" makes me want to end you....slowly and painfully.
 
When someone IM's with "Hi" and expects a response, then says "how are you?" and expects a response. Just get to the point!

Another one common when IT sends an IM to resolve an issue, when they say "Hi" and I respond immediately and they go silent for 5+ minutes. You IMed me, be ready to reply!

That one is a huge pet peeve of mine.

I'll get a IM all the time from the same certain people at work and all it says is "Hi!". And they will not tell me what they need or want until I respond to them.

If any of you out there do this..... please stop! If anything just do it like this..... "Hi, can you forward me that email...... etc".
 
If everyone and everything is amazing!, no one and nothing is amazing.

I don't do FB but when I did I got to a place where if someone was constantly posting how great everything was in their life, it meant the opposite was true since hanging out with them in real life was typically very different than what was online.

I am married with kids. If I don't laugh at my jokes no one will.
 
There are certain individuals that say "have you got a minute" and I know that I'm about to lose significantly more time than that.
I tell my green horn estimators exactly how much time they'll get from me, when they say that.

I worked with someone in grad school who was easily one of the smartest people I've ever met. Bright person and a tremendous writer. However, whenever she would send me an e-mail she refused to use capitalization and it drove me absolutely crazy.
 
Yeah I hear you, it's just annoying to me. Cement is just one ingredient that makes concrete. I'm sure I make errors that are common knowledge to most!

We're definitely on the same page, and I used to correct people on it. I've just found that it is a futile battle to fight as the term cement has become one with concrete and probably even taken over as the common term.

All those fake facebook pages that people are constantly sharing that are claiming to be giving away an expensive car, truck, RV, etc. Then when they start sharing the same thing a week later because the original winner was too young to collect the prize.
 
2:46.



My father has some health stuff that could be helped with some lifestyle adjustments and uses 'it is what it is' and it drives me up the wall...it doesn't have to be that way.

That show I think I watched parts of 2 episodes. Must have been chasing the kids alot during that time.
