1. REALLY bad laugh tracks......sometimes I can't watch a TV show if it's poorly used.
The next few were realized while I attended a funeral this weekend:
2. I'll be the first to admit that I'm a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy, BUT I also realize the importance of dressing appropriately when called for....
If you are attending a function in which it's usually "correct" to dress up a little, DO IT, it's not that hard! My friend's grandmother passed away and at her funeral lets see....my friend's uncle was wearing sneakers, my friend's younger brother (Senior in college) was wearing VERY casual clothing, as if he's going to hang out at his friend's house rather than attend a funeral. COME ON....your grandmother passed away show some respect! And my friend's neighbor, where he grew up who was very close with the family, he's in college as well and came to the funeral looking all disheveled...jeans, sneakers, and a wrinkled button down shirt. $hit like that really gets me for some reason.
3. Inappropriate times to use a cell phone. This is probably common for many but nothing like sitting in the church, listening to the priest speak, and having the guy in the back actually have a conversation during the ceremony! It went something like this, "Hey what's up?" "I'm at a funeral you'll have to speak up!" he uttered a few more words before he looked up and saw the entire church starting at him to which he got up and walked out the back.
4. People using fake D-rings, climbing hooks, as key chains. The guy in front of me, he's all dressed up and what not (shirt, tie, dress pants) and hanging from his belt loop is his key chain. I just wanted to grab it and yank it off...
OK, I'm all done. Other than that I'm an easy going guy, I promise!
