Door accessories that go at the top of the door

I understand there aren’t many better options, but whether it’s a hanger hook or basketball hoop, these things make doors fail at being doors.

The “nudge” feature of social games

Yeah, I know it’s my turn. I got the first notification. It’s sitting there in my Notification Center for the time when I’m actually bored enough to care.

Doing the Cha Cha slide at every gathering centered on dancing

Not only do you have to deal with the annoyance of a call dance, but it’s boring, repetitive, and never seems to die. It was made in the year 2000, and you still can’t go to any dancing event without being dragged onto the floor for this one. In 2005, it was certified Gold. In 2009, Crazy Frog released it on his album Everybody Dance Now. On July 1st, 2011, the Cha Cha Slide launched a new website, the official Cha Cha Slide Facebook Fan Page was launched, and a Twitter account was started.

The “Cha Cha Slide” is a song often played at dance clubs, school dances/proms, parties, ice and roller skating rinks, bar mitzvahs and weddings in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland and the United Kingdom (the song reached number one in the latter country in 2004), created by Chicago’s DJ Casper (Willie Perry aka Mr. C the Slide Man).

That’s the first paragraph from its Wikipedia entry. Notice how many events it lists it being commonly played at. I bet no other article on Wikipedia has anything like that. The one-hit wonder that made this creation has even taken it upon himself to be known as “Mr. C the Slide Man.” Also, wtf is that “part 2” crap at the end of the song?

EDIT: It seems Cracked wrote about this in 2008. In the article “7 Music Trends Whose Return Must Be Stopped,” “Song-Specific Dances” ranks at number one.

When the cover photo of a magazine covers the title and you don’t know what the title is

Okay, so we all know what magazine this is. But what I’m talking about looks something like this.

Hotels that don’t have free Wi-Fi

Come on, Marriott, I just went to one of your hotels with free Internet! Don’t make me use the terrible connection in the lobby.

Getting a teacher with a lisp

Autocorrect always changing “I’m so…” to “I’m do…”

That doesn’t even make any sense!

People who say “Watch out” instead of “Excuse me”

Switching sides in basketball

Is this supposed to equalize it in case one side is better than the other?

When TV shows have feathers fly everywhere to symbolize dead birds

Unrealistic.
