Bonus points if my own is on there as well.
i used to get embarrassed when my dad would ramble on and never listen to the person trying to talk to him but now i don't care. i'm just glad he's still alive so i just watch him and smile. its like watching a big demented baby talk to people. who is hard of hearing. and who listens to jazz all day long and reads the wall street journal. okay, that's a really weird baby...― scott seward, Monday, 26 November 2012 16:59 (1 month ago) Permalink

Customer service talk on the HMV thread reminds me:
I went to my building society the other day and the cashier was super cheery and helpful and THEN he said "and there's a chance you may be phoned later on today by our customer service quality control reps, so if you feel you could vote ten out of ten for your service today..."
I felt so bad for that guy having to ask. Also cz I would've voted 10/10 without being asked but being asked to immediately made me think of reasons not to.
Nobody phoned anyway.

given this i probably should not have watched the movie 'pitch perfect' at all but there's a part in the movie where the acapella groups are having a "riff off" where one group starts a song and then another group interrupts with a different song and it's full of attitude and then anna kendrick runs in and starts doing the rap from "no diggity" (because she's an edgy dj) but she's doing it in her anna kendrick voice and i got so embarrassed that i literally had to hide under a blanket

You know, I have seen and LOVED every Step It Up movie where they do fucking ridiculous things like have dance offs in parking garages but for some reason, the same concept applied to a capella singing groups embarrasses me.

honestly after sitting through Pitch Perfect that was kind of the high point --- everytime they started singing I died of embarrassment tbh

the shame of chobani (brand) passion fruit (flavor) yogurt is doubled because i get one light wave of embarrassment when i buy it, and another bonus one when i eat it.
still, it's so tasty that i keep enduring this cycle of shame once every two weeks or so.

If there were another way to get passion fruit pulp into my yogurt, I would do it. But aside from making little squeeze tubes from frozen Goya pre-sweetened passion fruit pulp (maracuya) and plastic sandwich bags, I can't see that happening. I don't see fresh passion fruits being sold anywhere.
Also the frozen Goya stuff doesn't have the seeds, and I like the seeds.

Doomed to eating this yogurt and feeling ashamed about it ;_;
my parents used to grow them, ubiquitous in every austrlalian garden. I wonder if they grow here? They must, surely. I never see them grown though, or even really sold anywhere.

I only see pomegranates, no passion fruits. Maybe I should look around a little more! But therein lies the shame of Chobani -- why look around for anything when the chobani passion fruit is right in front of me.

I bet you could grow it indoors -- they don't mind the cold but I don't think they stand up to frosts/snow very well.

It's probably way too cold (or warm for too short a time) to grow passion fruit in Chicago. It's basically frost or snow between late November and, oh, April. (Which is why "localvore" never made any sense to me in Chicago, but that's for another thread.)

I got a couple of fresh passionfruit on my last trip to Atlanta -- the most amazing flavor ever. I need to find that yogurt or the frozen Goya pulp and get some of that embarrassment.

Chobani yogurt is an Anglicized spelling of the Persian chob-ban, meaning "shepherd" (literally he who carries a stick –-- something that shepherds traditionally do).

I could go on, but why. Clearly I have made my case. The fact that I have all of these feelings about yogurt yet continue to eat it is a sign of my willingness - even eagerness! - to humiliate myself.

I think yogurt has been cast as ladyfood or diet food or food for people with IBS, so there's definitely a gendered/medicalized/both aura about it, too. Also those horrendous commercials with bridesmaids eating yogurt and talking about how good it is compared to various tedious events in their lives.
