People who mention that something is apparently like Marmite, but then can't resist going on to include the unnecessary "you either love it or you hate it". Grrrrr.

I don't mind a bit of marmite. But not too much.

as a lifelong wrestling fan: "you know it's fake, right?"

A week or so ago, I saw articles celebrating that the new wrestling champion was Scottish, and I have to admit I did have that thought. Clearly he's an amazing athlete, but is it right to imply he _won_ something that was scripted?

On here? Usually Inbetweeners or Peep Show lines that are now threadbare with overuse.

The big problemo with Peep Show quotes is that they always try to shoe horn them in.

Next Christmas anyone "fun" who tries to discuss whether Die Hard is or isn't a Christmas movie is getting murdered with a spade.

"Well actually x is subjective", coming from people who don't know the difference between taste and merit. "Modern art is actually le money laundering", they're never able to elaborate. Thing is there's tons of actual market manipulation and financial impropriety in the art world but dipshit Redditors are too lazy to read about that.

“HR are not your friend. They’re there to protect the company.” As if them being in a paid position wasn’t clue enough.

cgknight1@reddit

Also what people often don't understand is that often protecting the company means *following process* which often protects you. Over the years, I have seen many HR professional swerve a clueless manager away from a decision that would be a nightmare for both employee and employer.

This is a very good point, and often missed. Particularly in large companies managers mistreating their employees or getting things wrong, get put right to the benefit of those they're managing.

Redditors love that buying cheap boots quote and get a hard on when they get a chance to parrot it. Something about money laundering too.

Oh god - as a boot fan, I wish those people would read about Veblen goods - you can buy the most godawful tat at £1000 which will fall to pieces as soon as you look at them.
