YKWRGMFG...

I spend $70, per ticket (2 tickets purchased) to go see a disappointing 'Michael Jackson Experience' at Stage West. 'King of Pop' was the show.

Highlights include:
- great band
- great backup dancers
- could hit pretty much all the notes

Here's the disappointing part:
This perform (impressionist), Bishop Soul, had all the moves. He did! Except one!

The Moonwalk.

How in the hell do you perform an exact copy of the famous Motown performance, and not Moonwalk?!? Serious! We were all waiting for it. WTF man! The performance finishes, and everyone is saying "why didn't he Moonwalk?" And don't give me some excuse like "people can't see because of the stage." We can see just fine. We saw all the other moves with your feet.

Truly disappointing. Is it petty? Sure....probably. But dude...you had one job...Moonwalk!

Oh no! Clearly that is much more tragic than:

Neighbour with the bug zapper near my bedroom window, and the near constant supply of stupid bugs. Arghhh!!!

Also the sweaty guy at the fitness centre that doesn't wipe down the equipment after. What's the protocol for dealing with this? Talk to him or talk to staff?

You 'borrow' the neighbor's bug zapper, and throw it at sweaty fitness guy as he retreats from the equipment, leaving it sopping with sweat. Just make sure you have a long extension cord. You've solved the noisy bug zapper outside your bedroom window, and rid yourself of sweaty fitness all in two moves. Win win.

best way to get back at the neighbor for the bug zapper it to install a big set of wind chimes.

When you say, "Dat ass" or "Dat money tho", you sound stupid. You may as well just end it with amirite.

Seeing people use this font REALLY gmg.
I've probably used it before at some point, and am not sure why, but I really despise it right now.

It's actually bugging the crap of me the last few months as well, seems to be popping up everywhere and just screams "trashy soccer mom with an edge" at this point. It's the typographic equivalent of a tramp stamp tribal tattoo.

Papyrus is my font peeve. A terrible font to begin with, made worse by vast overuse.

All week I haven't been able to sleep until 2 in the morning, but of course knowing I have a day off tomorrow I can't even keep my eyes open right now.

When a chain of emails comes through and someone says that I'll have to redo something and the person asking responds back asking if I'll do it... I can read. I see that I need to redo it. Not an idiot. (It was done incorrectly by someone else in the first place).

The ice bucket challenge. Yes I know what it's for and yes I know it's been very successful in raising money. My gear grinder isn't really in the challenge itself, it's just the sheer amount of celebrities/not really celebrities inundating all forms of media with their attempts at. Social media, online media, News channels, sports highlight shows.

It's everywhere and outside of maybe PK Subban and Paul Bissonette they're just so boring to watch/listen to. Oh yay, another person dumped water on their head, how exciting.

Agreed, and that whole "Lets all do laps around our school track because some guy did something similar 40 years ago" GMG. I mean, why does everyone have to try and be cool by doing the latest fundraiser for horrible diseases. Terry Fox, cancer, and ALS GMG. Its like, you have this disease, get over it already, amirite?

To be fair though, the person asking isn't a mind reader. Sometimes people "conveniently" forget to see an email, and stuff gets left undone. It's better to get a confirmation email if you're unsure. Really, how hard is it to hit reply and say yes, you're doing it? Takes like 2 seconds.
