User Stories? Thanks but No

I hate them just because they put the most useless information at the front and they just sound so damn whiney. Have you ever seen a list of user storeys? You have to wade your way through "as a user I want to" again and again. And it's in the wrong tense too. Why not just have a "target user" column and a "feature/task" column? Way less obnoxious.

Always reminds me of Bill Bailey's speaking as a mother skit.

LOL, just name your stories accordingly and move "as a user I want to" part to description. Haven't you raised that easy-to-fix issue with your team members?

Thankfully I've only had to use them once in the past and that was very brief because everyone kind of tacitly agreed to give up on them very quickly.

I see you haven't worked with people! :D

All we talk about here is how to work with people. I'm sorry, but you strike me as more of a talker than a doer, I hope I'm wrong.

You strike me as extremely rude. I hope I'm wrong too.

Yeah, maybe, but I'm not the one who said "I hate them" or "they just sound so damn whiney" and did nothing to change it.
