You don't get your work emails on your phone? Lucky you.

I do , but I have a work phone separate from my day to day phone. My work phone gets turned on when I get to work, and turned off and put in the console of my car when I leave work. I'm not high enough up the pay scale to want to be connected 24/7 with my job haha. I actually use my work phone for pandora in my car most of the time, so it does get used haha.

Some people think the rules don't apply to them.

This dude left his bag at the the gate and walked 50 feet away and started talking on his cell phone. An announcement was made that if no one claimed the bag the police would be called. The guy on the cell phone got indignant and said that's my bag, then he walke even further away from the bag through the crowded terminal.

Dude. You need to take care of that bag. Those rules are meant for everyone's safety. You don't get an exception because you're wearing a Rolex, flying first class, or because you feel your background gives you the right to claim discrimination.

When the blinds/curtains are open at night. I can't see what's going on outside and I'm standing there with a spotlight on me and the whole neighborhood is sitting in lawn chairs watching my every move. It's like my windows become giant TV screens and I'm the star.

...what a boring show

I'm totally with you on that. I was walking by this house the other day and a guy was chasing (I guess) his wife up the stairs trying to grab her... urgh, bottom. Looked like they were playing a 'game'. I'm like, damn, cover your huge damn window.

You shoot like you drive, slow and sloppy.

If they were good looking then maybe I'd ring the bell and suggest they put in an even bigger window. Not the case.

Probably mentioned before, but people who answer their business phone with just "Hello?" Because it makes me think I have a wrong number. Then I have to ask, "Hello, is this Tom?"

Answering with just your name is sufficient.

Shoulder pads under the suit. Saw a lawyer that looked like he was wearing some football player's giant pads. So ridiculous. Looked so stiff like he was hanging on clothes hanger. Should have told him the 80's are over.

Maybe he put it on in the morning as was like, "Yep... I'm bringing this back!"

I might have mentioned this before with regards to crazy mocha not indicating that there were walnuts in the pumpkin biscotti. But when pastry products are not clearly identified. Thought i was getting a bran muffin from market district this morning...nope, turned out it was a choclate muffin.

Similarly, in Sci-Fi movies where action takes place on a planet with multiple moons, and they are shown all bunched up together. Duh, they would look all spread out.

When the cinnamon apple portion of my Lean Cuisine lunch bubbles over into the turkey section.

I like my turkey savory, not sweet.

if they orbit at different speeds (which they would, right?), then there could be an overlap period, no?

Elf on the Shelf and people who think they need to tell me about it every day.

Probably

Coincidentally every scifi movie is made in the overlap period

Just started seeing this on facebook... people post videos which start playing automatically when you scroll past them. the sound is muted by default thankfully, but it still annoys me.

Online product reviews that talk about delivery issues. I get that it's part of the overall experience you had with the merchant but what I'm really interested in is the actual product. If you gave it a 2 out if 5 because UPS left your Amazon box at the wrong address or BestBuy had the wrong item set aside when you went to pick it up at the store, that stinks but I am going into this knowing that happens sometimes. Did the thing work?????

Even in school settings this has become a joke. All three of my kids laugh about their teachers' love of using Comic Sans.
