A manager who gives you a 2-day project on Wednesday and wants it done end of day Friday. Then on Thursday, says, "drop everything else and attend to this other matter pronto! It's urgent!" and then wonders why the Friday deadline hasn't been met.

They should make old people filters on social media. I don't want to see tweets, pins, instagram comments, etc. from anyone under the age of, say, 25 (you would be able to set your own age limit on the filter, for instance, if 14 year olds waxing poetic about their Starbucks coffee doesn't make you cringe).
samples:
ZOMG THIS HAPPENED TO MEEEEEEE IN STUDY HALLLLLLL *emojiemojiemojiemojiemojiemojiemojiemoji*

get off my lawn.
or! once I see a pin on pinterest, I can tag it with 'effing stupid' and then never have to see it again, repinned by 10,000 other people. that would be nice too.
related: overuse of the word 'amazing' grinds my gears as well. not everything can be amazing. your packaged oatmeal is probably not really that amazing.

You can't get attention in the Wide Wide World of Internet unless your experience is just the BEST EVER! or WORSTEST THING EVER (sad face) It's the way kids think, and now we've just given them a super-sized megaphone because we've foolishly let them out of their cages.

Or "unfriend" the annoying ones. That's what I do with people.

On things like instagram and pinterest, you do not only see things from your friends. there is not a way to filter, unless you choose not to use it.
my comment was slightly tongue in cheek, which I thought should go without saying........ but I guess not.
just goes to show that if you say something on the internet, someone somewhere will take it too seriously. myself included.

5 fewer exclamation points, and it would have looked seriously. Or was it that you had to entertwine some upper and lower case letters in the MeEeEeEEEee and HAllLlLLlLL- I get that distinction mess up sometimes.
(could have been that you need to post amazzzzzzziiiiiing instead of just amazing. But that's not amazing enough)

Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
I realized after, with regret, that my examples barely even used acronyms, and no numbers in place of letters AT ALL, which is completely unrealistic.

To the users of Twit, Pin, Face:
You aren't amazing because you awoke and consumed oxygen today. Get over yourselves. %socialmedia
And now ... get off my lawn.
To avoid this problem I avoid social media like "The Twit", Pimpterest*, Faceschmuck, and such.
*Seems all that's there is folks pimping their 'greatness'.

They had the same problem in 1922.
My Grandmother had a copy of this -- 78RPM large disc.

I use twitter but I only follow a select few, particularly some local sports writers so I can keep up with who the Wild have sent down, who's injured, who's playing, etc. Don't use the others.

Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
Phew, that felt good.
Where I am we do not have amazing. We have 'Absolutely'. The work absolutely is now absolutely in everything. Ab-sol-lutely everything. Many times accompanied by the word Definitely soon after to signal agreement to something. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh! Can someone remember to use the words yes, I agree, I know, yeah, or any other word that used to mean agreement to a statement or a sentiment?
Phew, that felt good.

Re: Gear Grinding Part 5: The Story of the Broken Tooth
My friends on Facebook aren't like that... instead, they have forgotten proper punctuation. These are people, presumably graduated from high school, and they pretend the comma key on their keyboard doesn't exist.
