Pickguards. They look as crappy as those plastic wind deflectors that people put on the front of their trucks.....or the clear plastic seat covers that people put on their furniture.
Or that vinyl thing they stick in their shirt pockets to hold a pen.
Pickguards look like something a noob would stick on a bass because they're so inept
they can't pick without gouging the body.

I love my pickguard, but I'm worried about scratching it, so I've got a pickguard guard, it's printed with a photo of what's under the pickguard.


I deliberately keep my voicemail full. I figure that if you listen to my whole voicemail greeting saying specifically not to leave a message, but instead to email me, text me, or call at another time, and still think it's a good idea to leave a message for me, then sometimes the point has to be forced.Relatives with cell phones, that although they have the phone on and glued to their hands 24/7, their voicemail box is always full and is never emptied.
Then, when they say they will call you back about something important, they never do. Even though the phone is on and glued to their hands 24/7.

How about "You know?" "You know what I am saying?"People who answer "[something] much?," as in:
"Angry much?"
"Troll much?"
"Hate much?"
It simply makes for angry, trolling haters.
How about "You know?" "You know what I am saying?"
A guy that I work with does it ALL THE TIME to the point I start saying NO right after he says it each and every single time.
Oh I hate the like thing and I caught myself doing it and made myself stop. I also told my daughter if she ever talks "like" she is from the valley, I would go nuts!I have stopped people who say "You know" during conversations and said, "No, I don't know."
I hear that on speeches and interviews often where the person says, "You know" after every few sentences.
Another one is when people keep saying, "Like" when they are talking to you. I will ask, "Like what?"
