Other things that deserve a slap:
- using story points to represent days (but still using fibonacci like a retard)
- nitpicking every story in sprint retro asking devs to explain why a ticket took 6 days instead of 5
- just generally using story points as any kind of performance indicator whatsoever
Things story points are great for:
- Helping the team estimate their workload for a sprint
- Discussing the relative complexity of a task / story
Things I will slap you for, hard:
- Arguing that all the easy stories you plan to pick are actually infinite story points to make you look better
- Going "yeahhhh look at me I did 5 more story points this sprint than Bob, I'm amazinggggg"
- Trying to subtly change the story point assignment after you pick a task so you can do the above while doing sod all work
- "Hmm your team only did x story points this sprint, but team poopoo over there did x+10, what's going on?!"
