people proselytizing on street corners/public places make me irrationally embarrassed — not for myself but for them — in some a sympathetic "stop drawing so much attention to yourself!" kind of way. i'm not sure if it's totally innocuous.

just purchased passion-fruit chobani at the grocery store, but i don't think i'm ready to eat it yet
― mookieproof, Wednesday, 5 February 2014 00:42 (ten years ago) link
haaaaaaaa
it is so delicious, that's the worst partlately i have been buying the big containers of plain yog and adding my own flavors and it's turning out pretty well. rose petal jam + lemon curd was way better than any commercially purchased yogurt INCLUDING passion fruit chobani

Schumer is calling on the diplomat, along with the head of the International Olympic Committee, to permit a delivery of Chobani Greek Yogurt to get into Sochi so the U.S. athletes can enjoy it.

It's their secret weapon, they grease their skis with Chobani to help them go faster.

soon chobani will just be the official sponsor of the olympics and we've to start calling them the chobani bowl and that's when we'll be certain that the end is nigh

When a fictional character is shown to be a tech expert or nerd by spouting a bunch of jargon.
Especially when the "jargon" is pretty commonplace, like "ethernet" or "20 gigabyte solid state hard drive."
But what makes me cringe to death is when another character responds to the fairly accessible not-really-jargon with, "OK now in English, please?"

shopping for anything at petsmart, or any pet-focused retaileri just want to get my minimal stuff and leave in peace, i don't want to "spoil my pet/animal child" or have a pet stuff buying experience. i just want to get in and out and be completely invisible this should be easy but i can't escape without at least a moment of pure shame/embarrassment at myself as i browse or even lay eyes on a brett michaels dog gear standee

all the local ones have cats from local animal rescue places
the nice locally-owned pet store even has a giant cat environment as part of a branch of the Animal Rescue League they host. it's a good scam, you go in expecting to buy a little food and you leave with double the food and another cat.

A petstore in our old neighborhood had a store parrot that hung out by the register. It was actually kind of gross because the owner was halfassed about cleaning up after it.

Got into a brief discussion of DeBlasio/Charter Schools with a co-worker and then the boss walked in and I really, really wanted to stop talking about it, but the co-worker sort of obliviously kept going. Pretty soon the boss chimed in, and of course he's very pro-charter, which I am not. I HAAAATE talking politics with a boss.

Ugh, this. I always bring my dog, because he loves car rides, and loves sniffing around the store, but the counterperson always fusses over him and gives him a treat DON'T GIVE HIM A TREAT, HE HAS A SENSITIVE STOMACH, PLEASE DON'T yeah, thanks, now he'll be puking.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 7 March 2014 16:19 (ten years ago) link
that's a legit gripe! it does feel slightly better with the dog in tow but i wish people there were not trained/required to be so extremely helpful. it's embarrassing for everyone and paradoxically inhumane.

Yeah, sometimes I can catch it in time, and sometimes it's a counterperson who recognizes my dog and knows he can't have a treat, but too often they're waving something baconesque in his face before I can stop them.

i find it horrifying when ppl don't ask first before giving your dog food, ESPECIALLY a petstore employee who should def know better!!!! my boss' stupid husband did two stupid things at a staff lunch: a) gave food to my dog while we were sitting and eating our meals - a habit i REALLY don't want to encourage, bc we've trained her not to beg while we're eating b) gave her a goddamn grape without asking. grapes are toxic, you dick! which you'd know if you asked first, like a normal person!

My glasses keep sliding down my nose, but irrational embarrassment seized me in the opticians' and made me say "yes that's a lot better, thank you" once already and a combination of same + laziness is preventing me from going back
(perhaps this is one for an imaginary "minor but irrational bursts of social anxiety" thread. or perhaps I can work myself up to irrational anger that you spend £200 on much the same amount of material that my long-sighted mother can buy in the form of reading glasses for £2.99 from a corner shop but if you want the slightest adjustment the staff are all "WELLLLL" *inhales audibly*)

I get irrationally embarrassed if I make a mistake while ordering at a fast food place.
― Neanderthal, Saturday, 8 March 2014 16:55 (ten years ago) link
There are a couple places in the Loop in Chicago (Panda Express is one) where you have to be ON POINT when ordering otherwise it feels like you've triggered a chain reaction that will bring down Western society. The first couple times I went there (w/ the very helpful carl agatha) my heart rate went way up and I fucked up and felt like a pariah. Just thinking about ordering there makes me sit up straighter.
