Innocuous things that make you irrationally embarrassed

aww

I bought four or five when it was on sale. Is Chobani embarassing? :(

lips will always make me squirm and possibly forget to breathe

This is why I think lip-jobs are by far the grossest of cosmetic procedures..."quit trying to get me to look at those things!"

Chobani is the most humiliating of yogurts.

what about Fage?

that's ok

no shame for gogurt?

I have no desire whatsoever to eat gogurt. My chobani problem is only a problem because I can't stop eating it.

There are zillions of products I find repulsive and embarrassing -- I don't use or buy them. It's my cruel mistress Lady Chobani that I just can't give up.

have you tried making yogurt using a chobani starter culture?

Ha, I bought a bunch of $1 Chobanis too. This week, they were 4/$5.00 and I was all, you can't hook me in, Chobani.

did we discuss how 'chobani' is like 'choad' crossed with 'bonnie'

listen, once i get my housing situation stabilized (really soon!) i am going to look into making my own goddamned passion fruit flavor packets
it's the passion fruit pulp that i can't live without, not the yogurt itself!

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

I saw one called Yopa

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
