Pop Culture Minutiae (that aggravate the hell out of you)

What are some of the things that pop up occasionally over the course of your day, be they witnessed on TV, read on the internet, or, god forbid, actually confronted in public, that drive you up a fuckin' wall? The two most recent episodes of Curb Your Enthusiasm inspired me to create this thread -- Larry tackled people who verbalize "LOL" and then the smiley face, something that "idiots typically insert at the end of text messages or emails".

The first thing that comes to my mind is the use of a hashtag (#) outside of twitter. I'm sick and tired of seeing #whitepeopleproblems or #sportsteam posted at the end of facebook comments or statuses. As far as I'm concerned, they might as well read #iamstupid.

I say "LOL" out loud all the time, but mostly when i cum.

This.

Last month I saw two 12-year-old girls talking about real life trolling. It was so beautiful because they had come up with more neologisms in 5 minutes than I could possibly think of, and I was able to understand completely what they meant.

So... beautiful!

The fact that the "Pound" symbol is now called "Hashtag". so what, when you call a 1800 number and they say, "press pound for more options" do these new tweeny fucktards say, "wtf is a pound sign?" ffs

Actually it's only called the Pound symbol in the U.S.

It's mostly called the hash-key in other English-speaking countries, though I've heard number-key a lot as well.

This is pound: �

AH WELL WHAT EVER! it's the damn number sign

If someone is having a hard time hearing me on the phone I do everything I possibly can to avoid saying "Can you hear me now?".

The word "epic" no longer has the same meaning anymore.

I unashamedly verbalise LOL. It started as irony but has since gone beyond that. Oops.

The one that annoys me is people saying "she doesn't even go here".

i also say wtf loud, but only when i'm being choked from behind.

Their Tiwtter page could be updating their Facebook page

From Mean Girls? People do that? Weird.

I say "lulz" instead of "lol" only out of politeness. Like someone tells you a joke but you don't really find it funny, but you still acknowledge it.

i'm not as stupid as you think i am, dick.

I say "lawl" sometimes out loud, but not in place of a laugh.

I also use smileys a lot in texts, but not in professional type situations. Apparently people are starting to do it in work e-mails, which is odd.

I also verbalize "What the EFF" a lot because of those David Blaine spoof videos.

The hashtags on everything annoy me, too, but that's because I don't use twitter.

I love how Bas has memorized the script for Mean Girls.

It's a great movie.

Only people that would jerk off to frenchie would say that.
