Phrases & Terms that bug me

I'm sure you all care oh so much, but I'm bored so....

- referring to regular mail as "snail mail" - not cute... annoying

- "you didn't gain it all at once, don't expect to lose it all at once"
   a) how do you know I didn't gain it all at once?
   b) not really all that helpful

- anything having to do with Twitter or tweeting

- when people say "I could care less" - If you say that it means that you care, because you could care less than you currently do.  The phrase is " I couldn't care less" implying that you care so little you possibly couldn't care any less than you do already.

- starting a sentence with "not to be rude, but..." OK if you start a sentence like that then you definitely are going to be rude so either embrace it and just be rude or don't say it.

Other annoying things:  Posts like this one.  But hey, I'm bored so if you are too share the sayings that bug you.  Its great for stress relief.

I don't like that one "I could care less"  I always correct people.  It doesn't make sense to say you could care less.  Exactly how you said. :)

YES!! And people starting a sentence with "don't get me wrong, I'm not racist or anything..." who then go on to say something incredibly racist. GRRRRR!

Also, people who say something really insulting and then say "no offence" afterwards like that makes it ok!

When someone says "I'm sorry, but..." My mother does this to my kids all the time and it drives me crazy! She'll snap at them and when they look hurt she'll say something like "I'm sorry honey, but you were getting on my nerves..." Can't you just say I'm sorry, and leave it at that?

When people say " I axed him if he wanted to come with us, but he said no" Well maybe next time you should ASK him, I wouldn't want to go with you either if you axed me. :oP

My husbands favorite saying is "It doesn't matter, I don't care" That is so untrue because if he didn't care why does he have to say anything.  If you don't care then shut up about it.

Another is 'peace out', what the heck is that anyways.  My 2 year old grandson says it because he hears his dad and that is so wrong.  "Lates" is another, how hard is it to put a sentence together.

"irregardless." not a word.

Sometimes when my boyfriend is being a big baby, and he doesn't want to give me any input on what we should have for dinner, but he doesn't want what I suggest he'll say "Whatever, I just won't eat anything tonight"

oooooh it just makes me sooo mad...

I hate it when people start a sentence with "Correct me if I'm wrong, but...".

No.  It's not my job to fact check for you.  Why don't you do a little research, Sherlock, and get back to me when you know what the heck you're talking about!

I am also highly annoyed by listers.  My Mom, God lover her, is a perfect example.  We'll be talking on the phone arranging a time for me to come over and do some yardwork for her or work on her computer.  She'll ask me if I want to stay for supper and I'll say OK.

Then she goes on about how she'll have to clear off the table because it's covered with mail and paperwork and a book of stamps, some pencils, some envelopes, some books she borrowed from my aunt, her laptop, a skein of yarn she pulled out to do some knitting, etc.

You get the idea.  All I need to hear is that the table is cluttered up.  I could care less what it's cluttered with!

similar to major payne..."don't get me wrong...."

"not trying to be mean or anything..."

the term "reverse discrimination"..how is it "reversed" discrimination IS discrimination, regardless of who is the target

"whatever", it just makes me so pissed because you know it's not "whatever" and it really has a negative underpinning

"whatever you want" because you know there's a better and worse choice and the person does care, but they just won't speak their mind

"i'm not mad" "nothing is wrong" or "it doesn't bother me" when clearly something is wrong

hmm...can't really think of any others. 

Not that I'm perfect or anything cause I make these mistakes too BUT... I'm a total grammar nazi. It drives me BONKERS when stuff is just written poorly. I can understand small errors, hey it happens, but when people talk in text speak or never use a coma... I just... kinda wanna go POP!

I really hate it when people type "tht" instead of "that"... is it really that hard? Grrr!

I also hate the use of the word "clowning". As in "I'm just clowning around!" it really bugs me and I don't know why! "I'm just clownin' on ya."

Alot of slang bugs me, I don't get like, super annoyed by them, but they make me wanna do this: when I hear them. :P

fixin' to...

some of my best friends are...

whatever...*rolls eyes*

in my day...

I really don't care...

Yeah, I can fall into a coma when people don't use a comma. :)

I just want to tone, not bulk...

OH MY GOD I ATE A COOKIE!

ROTFLOL, you guys are so funny, LOL.  I really mean that, LOL.

Yeah, I can see you rolling on the floor laughing as you type this message.  Do you even really know what it means??  If you laugh out loud this often, you must be insane!

And yes, amethystgirl - I am so sick of that one, too, along with, What exercises should I do?  What diet should I follow?  Honestly - ever hear of performing a search?

Ah jeez! I just knew I'd make a boo boo complaining about something like that, haha.

Damn it! *shakes fist at herself*

I have a few things that I absolutely cannot stand...

- When people my age call me "honey" or "sweetheart" or any other name like that. It makes me want to punch them in the face.

- When people are trying to make a point and they ask/answer their own questions (Did I want to go to the party? No. But did I have a good time? Absolutely.)

- When anyone goes on and on about their weight or personal body issues. It gets uncomfortable real quick. Especially if it is a thin person just fishing for complements. I can only tolerate giving out meaningless complements (or lies haha) for so long...

- When you are trying to vent or share a story and the person you are talking to completely misses the goal of listening and they just start talking about a story that "tops" yours. Just freaking shut up and let me talk!

:) That felt good.

When people  say

I didnt do nothing!!!

And  

I seen it!!

When people say "conversate."  The word is converse.

"At this juncture..."

When people use too many interrupters

You wrote "I could care less" to be funny...right?

Irregardless (heh heh), my mom is a "lister" too. She'll tell me she drove my brother to his destination...then add a list of things they bought at the store on the way. Really? I need to know you bought my brother a pop and "oh, what are those chip things? You know, they come in a bag?". Yeah, not only will she list, but she will get stuck on a list item because she can't remember what it's called and will try to give me clues so I can help her remember.

"Mom, I get the idea. You bought him pop and chips. Just get on with the story. Please."

So now that I've called her on it numerous times; after listing and forgetting information that means nothing, she'll throw in the'ole, "oh well, it doesn't matter", and chatter on.

Also "long story short". Everytime I hear that, it's twisted in with a time consuming story. I always marvel to myself, "this is the short version?"

When people say 'you get me?' or 'yeah?' at the end of every sentence.

@ mla931 - when people use honey or sweetheart etc..  I can always tell when my boss is speaking to a woman on the phone because he uses 'sweetheart' or 'darling'.  It's so patronising.
