- referring to one's friends as their "squad".
- "blank"-shaming

My boss called me "awesome sauce" last week. or called something I did "awesome sauce". I don't really understand the context. Am I the awesome sauce? Am I covered in it? :p

Perfect timing of that, what with Twitch only a few posts away.

While I was out running this afternoon, I saw a car with foot long eyelashes attached to the headlights. Why?

Twitch is going to get rekt.

Although, personally, I think everyone is just jelly.

What version of IE? There was an incredibly large design difference that happened between IE 8 and IE 10. IE 9 has some of both, but it's much closer to 8 than 10.

A Surface will have either IE10 or 11. If the user upgrades the device to Windows 10, it'll have Edge.

Anything that's gone "viral", people who do stupid stuff in hopes it will go "viral" as well as the term "viral", when used in that context.

What annoys me more than Christmas encroaching on every holiday: the War on Christmas folks. The ones who pop up every year, as if on cue, to scream that their right to say Merry Christmas has been taken away and they're being forced to say Happy Holidays instead, that they're so persecuted.

To those people, I just ask to be wished a Happy December 25th and for them to move along.

:D

But seriously, if a business puts out those signs, "It's OK to say 'Merry Christmas!'", "Jesus is the Reason for the Season!", or however they use campaign slogans to convey their silliness, you know what? I welcome them saying the big, scary "MC" phrase. Sometimes those businesses are quite welcoming and/or really do live up to Christian ideals with charity work. And FFS, I'm a pantheist at most!

Emails from coworkers that simply state, "I'd like to meet with you about XXX subject at some point." Like most offices, we use Outlook. We all have public Outlook calendars. You can see my schedule. If you want to meet with me about something, here's a novel concept: SCHEDULE THE FARKING MEETING YOURSELF! Emails like this basically tell me that you think your time is so valuable you can't be bothered to take the initiative to spend 30 seconds of your day scheduling a meeting that you're requesting. **** off.

Grocery store shelf price tag sign says "Sale on Item x" and there is nothing on the shelf behind it that is actually called "Item x."

There are way too many people at my work that don't keep their outlook calendars up to date. So if I were to just schedule a meeting in what looks like an open time, without asking when it would be convenient to meet, I would very often get a decline, or a no response and a no-show.

Which is a gear grinder in itself, I guess.

Start changing the culture. Go ahead and schedule the meeting, then when someone responds that they are busy at that time, ask why it didn't show on Outlook. Keep at it, someone needs to start the change. If you can get any management support, get them to keep on the yahoos who don't keep the schedule up to date. It's a tool and it needs to be used to be useful.
