mid- and post-credits scenes. Just cut away at the end of the movie and show what you want to show before the credits. So dumb. I don't care who the 3rd key grip was.

Sometimes when I come home I forget to take my ear buds out and put them in the case, so I take them out and leave them on my desk instead. Then when I leave I grab the case but forget that the ear buds aren't in them so I have to walk around without listening to my tunes like an asshole.

Hate when that happens.

wireless earphones are such an irritatingly impractical and pointless invention, a classic example of humanity moving backwards

I thought the same, but once you get a pair of wireless and you suddenly realize you’ve saved no less than 8700 hours of your life from not detangling earbud cord, you’ll change your tune

When you buy deli meat or cheese, and they fold the price sticker over the resealable part of the bag. At best, you get a clean rip but it hinders the sealing; at worst, you rip the bag and have to burn a ziplock.

you spend all those hours leaving the 'phones on charge, then the charger on charge, all for about one hour of music

I just hung two speakers from 2 drones and programmed them to follow me around wherever I go, on either side of my head, playing music. Completely headphone-less.
