(FOUR) AFFLICTION SHIRTS
A fitted t-shirt with a feminine looking pattern is “bad ass” now? Yeah I know, it’s normally skulls, wings, and shit like that. That stuff isn’t your typical “feminine” looking pattern. It’s just the way it looks. It looks like a sponge pattern a middle age woman would use on a tote bag. It looks like something a soccer mom would wear to a Toby Keith concert.
(THREE) ONLINE GAMES
Farmville, Vampireville, Zombiefarm, Dinerville, Bingoville, and all these horrible facebook and myspace games are EVIL. I know it’s harmless entertainment and fun, but people take it too far. You can’t have a facebook or social networking page without everyone pushing their “awesome games” at you. I’m not innocent of my own mindless fun, but this just seems weird. Either play some real video games or send an email. This in between stuff isn’t going to cut it.
(TWO) THE HARRY POTTER ADULTS
I get it. It’s a kids book turned kids movie. Kids love it and have grown up with it. I’m sure it’s a fine franchise… for kids. If you’re not a kid, man up and watch something else. I can accept people under the legal age of drinking being excited and happy about these Harry Potter movies. Anyone older than 21 should be ashamed of themselves. Why are you reading a children’s book instead of a real piece of literature? I’m not saying fantasy isn’t real literature, but there has to be something out there more adult than this crap. The adults who wear the glasses, scarves, and have an obsession are just creepy people.
(ONE) “… OKAY.”
This is a pet peeve that’s me just being me. I’ve noticed that mostly douchey guys do it, but it’s pretty universal. People will go on with talking about something or telling about something and will end their sentence with “okay?”. They’ll then continue without even caring about a response. It’s a really dumb rhetorical question. It’ll be like “So yeah, I mean I don’t even like bananas, okay? And guess what they bring me next…” Was that “okay?” necessary? I noticed this specifically with middle age douchey guys, but I’ve heard it elsewhere too. It’s a psych out attempt to make the other person believe they’re part of the conversation.
