    Here's one I absolutely don't get: Ear Buds or huge ass headphones.

    My parent's HiFi had big ass headphones in the 70's, and we had earphones in the 80's that could be loud as **** and cost about $10.

    Just saw that new apple or bose ones are going for $3-500?!?

    Even my ex was jogging Memorial 10 years ago with the wired $15 ones.

    Are wireless ones worth paying 10 times the cost? Because I guarantee the sound quality ain't 10 times better.

    Or is it a status thing? If so, stop it...

    When you go to dictionary.com to double check the definition for 'bimonthly' (link)

    adjective
    occurring every two months.
    occurring twice a month​

    o_O These mean two very different things.

    Boss: "I will pay you bi-monthly"
    Employee: :confused:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Hearing more basketball analysts and coaches using the word 'downhill' to describe a player going really fast. Like running downhill.

    Me: "But the court is flat."

    In Abe Simpson voice,
    'Back in my day, going downhill means something is turning into a worse condition'.

    Let me see if I can use it in a sentence.
    1. 'The game is going downhill for the Rockets'
    2. Over the years, the liberty in which people take to use basketball terms is going downhill.

    Do people really enjoy sea salt in sweet things like mocha or chocolate?

    It makes an already sweet item salty, so they even put in more sugar to adjust?!?

    People who put on their blinker for a lane change before even taking a quick glance to confirm there is an opening.

    It causes confusion since people in the other lane are like, "dude, does this guy actually want me to brake and risk getting rear-ended so he can come over?" Then there's the nice overly cautious people who actually do brake, which messes up the entire flow of traffic for something that was COMPLTELY UNECCESSARY. The only exception to his if you are in stop and go traffic and NEED some help to quickly get over to enter/exit the freeway.

    1.) Take a quick glance in side mirror to see if there is an opening. If yes, then move on to step 2. If no, then wait a moment and repeat step 1.
    2.) Put on signal and move ever.

    How hard is that, *******? Stop expecting the world to stop for you.

    Every cake you eat has salt in it, along with most desserts. Its the contrast of the salt that makes the sweet 'pop'. Have you never put salt on fruit?

    Yeah, but lets say that if there's already a pound of sugar in the dessert then there's already a pound of "hidden salt" for the 'pop'.

    Adding that gimmicky sea salt for an extra pop is redundant and imo, a salty mess.

    Anybody who makes a person, group, tv show, or game their whole identity. Holy crap are they boring. Why make it your entire life? Are you that boring that you think it makes you interesting?
    This includes sports teams, political groups, bands, singers, actors, and whatever else...
    Diversify your life...
    I've seen people go ape **** over someone bad-mouthing Beyonce, or driving around with all these political flags/stickers, or waiting in line for hours just to see someone walk out of restaurants. God damn boring losers.

    P.S. I know I am saying this on a Rockets forum :)

    I do the quick blinker a lot in LA.

    A normal blinker gets you no respect and some turds even wedge your blind spot if they don't want you in front of them.

    OTOH, i dont like cutters who think your 3 second buffer is just the right size to get into at 70 mph+ speeds.

    I can see how its situational

    Dangerous drivers who make their decision before even looking at the flow of traffic. They are unable to think in high pressure situations and are the 'good luck everybody else!' drivers. Apply horn liberally.

    Always phone callers.

    If you are giving me a small piece of info, just text it to me.

    If there is an information thread that needs to be tracked, send an email.

    If you want to say hi, you can call me.

    Stop calling me for every last thing. It’s the 2000s.

    Texting and emailing have been a thing since the early 2000s. Baby steps for these luddites.
