Waiters and waitresses who interrupt both meal and conversation three or four times to see, 'Is everything all right, guys?'
1) It's rude to interrupt people like this;
2) We're paying 50/plate for this meal and have taken the time to actually dress up for the occasion, so sir and ma'am are the right thing to call us;
3) My 63-year-old mother is _not_ a 'guy'.Serve us our meal and make yourself scarce until we're done. THEN you can ask us if everything was good when you clear our plate, you fucking inbred, knuckle-dragging peasant.
- whoah whoah, there is a fine balance and being ignored when you want them is even worsemonospaced
- And Walter, I believe the preferred nomenclature is "server."monospaced
- they should be watching from afar for your signal then approach the tableali
- I call waiters waiters. That's what they do. They wait on tables.Continuity
- And +1 @AliContinuity
- They should approach every time they see a glass empty, or a plate cleaned, and suchmonospaced
- Don't fuck with the wait staff.stoplying
- yeah i really fucking hate the smarmy casual way they say "guys". We've never met you, you're not our friend so take a large frying pan to the face every time you say guys to me and my party...hans_glib

1. People that say 'Really?' after recounting a story about someone.
Fuck that is annoys me. Probably because I know someone who does it that is annoying anyway...2. When sweaty guys in the gym are concentrating and straining and staring you directly in the face at the same time.

clients who explain their movie to me as "deep, meaningful, with a message", then compare it to both lord of the rings and call the protagonist "a luke skywalker character" when it's really just an asinine flick about a guy trying to get laid

Oh man, this one...
People on Facebook who are related to each other and post messages to each other on their walls for things that could all be handled via text message, or through a phone call. Or, I don't know, IN A PERSONAL, PHYSICAL CONVERSATION MAYBE???. I fucking hate it so much when people do this.
Stuff like "why aren't you answering your phone?" or simple personal conversations. That is so self-centered and vapid.
Or, thanking someone for doing something on their wall. No doubt you thanked them in person for whatever, but you're just posting on there to get attention, and to give them the opportunity to get attention.

The forthcoming Hipstamatic D-Series app works just like the regular Hipstamatic camera app—but it won't let you view any of the pics you've snapped on your phone until you've filled an entire 24 shot "roll."

Another one:
Nosy people who, without fail, insert themselves into other conversations that don't involve them. The coworker that sits next to me does this all the time. I could be talking about a tech issue with an architect, and she will spring up if she hears the client name mentioned and it's a client she maybe barely worked with.
Or, maybe I'm having a conversation with a male coworker about clothes or shoes or something. She'll spring right up and join in and totally take over the conversation. You could be talking about the iPhone, and she doesn't even have one and never has, but she'll join in with some factoid she read on a blog.
She finds a way into any conversation possibly and takes over, but...
when it doesn't interest her, she gets all huffy and makes a big production out of how much she needs to concentrate on something, or puts her headphones on and makes sure you can tell she shouldn't be bothered. This happens all the time because a friend works across my cubicle wall diagonally, and next to her, so we're always interrupting her or something.

- Call centre operators who automatically start addressing me by my first name, without even asking if I would mind if they do (which I do);
- Shop clerks who get all surprised, then snarky and insistent when I firmly decline giving my personal details when I buy something ('We need it for ... uh ... warranty purposes.' 'No, you don't.')

People using finger quotes, but making a face as if they're thinking: Finger quotes are gay, I'm making this face to criticize them as gay even though I'm using them.
No, take your punches.

people asking me for "outside of the box" ideas. like i'm gonna fucking come back with boring, stupid ideas.
so goddamned insulting.
- all it translates to is "i'm not intelligent enough to know or express any actual direction, but win me a key art award, slave"scarabin
- but what they really want is the same movie poster style from "the Firm"spendogg
- haha. yesscarabin
- So I have this romcom coming up. I'd like you to produce an 'out-of-the-box' idea...********
- Possibly involving a white background with black and red text, possibly Gotham, with the male character looking longingly at the female, and the female looking out of the poster in humorous disgust.********
- at the female, and the female looking out of the poster in humorous disgust.********
- Maybe do something wild like have one word bold and the other not, or one in small caps?********
- ..It's really your concept, just go crazy with it.********
