Pet Peeves

[beefytee]

I'd never heard it either. Seems like it would mean some superficial agreement, or rah! rah! moment that people don't really buy into, is being pushed top down, and where the energy doesn't last. I wouldn't be surprised if it starts being used with negative connotation in the near future.

“Stack hands”

I hear this a dozen times a day and it’s a lame phrase and overused in corporate life.

i would make fun of anybody who said that. doesnt matter who it is, they should be shamed.

I really hate when someone asks me to book a meeting time on calendly. I'm not sure why, but it really annoys me.

You’d spend your entire day making fun of people in our finance organization. I’m in a leadership call and it’s already been used twice and we are ten minutes in. And smr correctly defined it.

I'm going to start using it - wearing Duke athletic warm ups - a gold medallion necklace - with a headband. My baldness will be the cherry on top.

i thought corporate speak didn't get worse than from the lawyers, so i guess this is a pleasant surprise

when i tell you, you will be even more annoyed. it means to agree or be on the same page. let's all agree on this. let's stack hands.

people are dumb.

You're right, I am annoyed, and I hate it.

I also hate "lean in". Especially when people try to use it as a cudgel against me when I tell them their idea is stupid.

Stupid millenial: "We should make our product do this silly thing that no customers are asking for because I think it's neato and cool and I want to change the world because I'm a wanna-be Steve Jobs!"
Me: "That will kill our performance, make our COGS increase, and lose money in the long run"
Stupid person: "Why don't you 'lean in' and work with me on this? I feel like you need to validate others' ideas more. <something about feelings, blah blah blah, more feelings, blah blah blah>"
Me: <thinking to myself> "If I'm less conservative in my retirement planning how far can I bump my target date forward?"

When someone calls while they're getting into a car and there is an inevitable bluetooth issue.

Realizing while I'm standing for #1 that #2 will also be necessary.

my dog does this all the time. He pees and then uses the same stance to poo, which is so weird.

come to think of it, this is also one of my pet peeves.

And you gotta finish #1 before switching over, because as Lloyd Christmas so eloquently put it, “I can’t cut it off mid-stream, it stings!”

Damn straight.

Somewhere I heard that men can't do both at the same time - while women can.

your welcome.

Doing #1 and #2 concurrently? Should we call that #3?

I know of at least one guy who can do both concurrently.

I remember a comedian bit about how he could go #1 without going #2, but couldn't go #2 without also going #1.

Perhaps this has already been mentioned here, but driving through Utah last weekend during that Friday night rain storm got me peeved about the invisible lane lines on the highways. And lack of reflectors. Couldn't see a darn thing.
