Innocuous things that make you irrationally embarrassed

Don Rickles's face gives me that uneasy feeling.

i started thinking about them after whoever it was started posting about having to skip the pre-movie productions bits

What are pre-movie production bits?

Zach, w/r/t the dance thing, is it an uncanny valley thing?

er the pre-opening-credits studio logos, i never know what to call them

"uncanny valley" is actually a term that came to mind when i was writing that post, but i can't really explain why. at least with the pop-locking dishes lady there's no reason to think they're attempting to mimic anything in reality. with the vaseline commercial though, up until that point midway you're not totally sure if there's an element of choreography to it, and in that moment she suddenly looks like a murderous cyborg

Years from now, they'll be studying Blade Runner's effects on this generation.

Not to derail too much but...

I've tried to like the Chobani yogurt, but it hasn't worked, especially not the Passion Fruit because I can't stand the gross seeds in it. I'm a much bigger fan of the Yoplait Greek yogurt, especially the cherry-pomegranate and coconut flavors.

myself, whilst drunk/drinking

That part of Price Is Right where the contestant stares wide-eyed into the audience as people shout out numbers to her. And then when Bob would say "Loretta, we need an answer...."

Fuck, I can't handle that kind of pressure. That 15 seconds is almost worse than 30 minutes of Frasier with two dinner dates.

2) yogurt is for woman

I didn't know this was a thing, but

People who comment on the food I am eating, or have just ordered.

Keeps happening to me (a man) when I bring yogurt into work with my lunch, and now I know it is a thing.

the yoplait greek yogurt has most favorable ratio of protein:sugars of commonly available supermarket single-serving greek yogurt cups fyi

People making references to sexual congress in mixed company = me being so embarrassed. Was at a party last week in which a woman asked the men, what do you call your dick? and the jokes and resulting answers were evidently enjoyed by all, with no apparent embarrassment on either side. My inner Puritan was mortified, I kind of had to pretend it wasn't happening.

i would mentally be digging a hole in the floor for me to sit in, that sounds mortifying

I get embarrassed by stuff like that too. And also I wouldn't have an answer.

So I was doin' my old lady when the doorbell rings...

I would assume they were performing their wacky impression of an old lady.

hahahaha

listen hun can you grab the oleo for me thanks dear uuuuuuuuggghhhh my sciatica

in other news, today a student (female) belched in class and wasn't embarrassed at all

she has my vote

eating ramen in public. there's this delicious ramen place that i would eat at every day if i could, but i cannot get it into my mouth in a dignified fashion. it's mortifying. i could get it to-go, but they charge a buck for the take-out container and it's just more plastic waste i'd end up throwing away.

listening to a phrasebook-style teach-yourself-German podcast, and even the English phrases are really enunciated with wild pitch swings and strange pauses, and it is agonising. it's like a very bad radio play, and I sometimes get this same feeling even from not-so-bad radio plays.

(I get that it's probably done to cater to EFL people who know more English than German and are using this in the absence of one in their own language. I wonder if the German sounds as horrible to a native speaker as the English does to me?)

In an Amazon review of a window fan, a reviewer wrote that the fan made a noise that bothered them like fingernails on a chalkboard...for us old folks who can remember chalk boards :)

UGH;a;sdlfkj

re: ramen, is it just ramen or any noodles?

right now i am sat in a restaurant eating nasi goreng, and every time i dig in with my chopsticks the plate spins. this will not do.

the weezer song "el scorcho." they have lots of embarrassing songs but most of them are also good and the embarrassing aspects come from awkward emotional places. but that one is musically embarrassing. the pseudo-rapping, the lite "funkiness" ugh

that kind of "funkiness" generally makes me irrationally embarrassed, yes

being up late on the US west coast and having the last answer on the top 6 or 7 ILE threads. And worrying that I posted this same one already

Any time I hear two people older than, say, 14, talking in any detail about a video game, like actually having a conversation about specific things one does or has done in a video game, or analyzing the finer points of a games strengths and weaknesses.

i am having #chobanitime RIGHT NOW
feeling no shame though, for some reason

lol @ #chobanitime

whenever i notice the chobani at the market it reminds me of you, ll, and then i have a little think about if it's embarrassing or not and I always conclude it's not in any way I can grasp and then sometimes I will go on to ponder my own deficiencies.

Costco has big variety packs of both Chobani and Fage :)
Both of them are the 0% fat kind :(

estela, have you ever tried to say it out loud? that might help you understand the shame.

"Funny" sexual innuendos that aren't funny. I used to see someone who did this all the time and when I didn't laugh or played along, she would always complain about me "not getting it" ...then I pretended to agree, of course, cause the alternative would be tell her it was neither sexy not funny :/

xp i have ll, and i can never be sure if it starts with a ch or a sh sound (i've never heard it being advertised) so yes, that is slightly embarrassing.

i had thought it was the product itself that was the source of your mortification.
