People who end their emails at work with inspirational quotes as part of their signatures. I could puke. This one guy always has a quote from a Buddhist monk who lived hundreds of years ago. I googled the name and saw some of the scariest looking status I've ever seen. I dream of relying to his emails with a huge picture of one of the scarier pictures with a caption bubble coming out of its mouth containing my reply. That would make me so happy

He was quite displeased, lol.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance LOL They actually told him the tape was some kind of magical force disabling agent that wouldn't allow him to use the force inside the park gates. He still looked at me like they were stealing his puppy away from him.

I guess there are a lot of tourists and young people in my area, but I see one at least once a week. My first ever sighting of one was during the Disneyland Half Marathon in 2011, and I actually thought it was pretty nifty at the time, considering how it was being used (runner documenting their race and getting photos with characters who would otherwise be too big to fit in a selfie). As they became more widespread and were used for increasingly mundane purposes, my opinion of them rapidly diminished
