Sayings and Phrases that annoy you

[Josh64]

Are there any particular sayings and phrases that annoy you?

Personally, I hate the saying ''If it aint broke, don't fix it''. I think it's one of the worst, I totally disagree with it. If we all thought like that then nothing would progress. For example, if Nokia followed this saying, in the late 90's they could have been like, ''This 3310 works well as a phone, it has the ability to send texts and has decent sound quality for calls so we may aswell not bother making any new versions'' and no one would have the pleasure of taking pictures and surfing the internet on their phones. Everything can be improved, it's how we progress!

So, what about you guys? Any phrases or sayings you've heard lately that have annoyed you for some reason?

"Stunning".

The totally nonsensical twisting of "Couldn't care less" into "Could care less", without the meaning changing with it.

It's unacceptable.

[Cube]

"Could of" and "Would of". Even more so when people actually say it like that.

[Daft]

"JOKES!"

As in, "We had so much fun. It was jokes!"
I'll fucking kill you!! I'll tear off your head and shit down your fucking throat!! *calm*

[Debug Mode]

When my mother used to say to me as a kid when I was genuinely full from dinner "Don't waste you're food, there's people in the world that are starving right now".

Cant believe I wasn't smart enough to respond I'd feel too guilty to eat the rest and wish to donate it. Biggest guilt inducing saying ever, like you could do fuck all about it. Don't eat it = Wasteful, inconsiderate. Eat it = Inconsiderate.

[Paj!]

I remember ReZ raging about this one time. I'm yet to encounter it in person.

It's a mainly american thing as far as I know. You hear it all the time on Tv shows and films from there.

[dwarf gourami]

Good thread.

I hate the "I gave it 110 per cent" phrase (or whatever number they tag on above 100). It's not possible. And their perception of the effort they put in is usually at an average level anyway.

If they said "I did 10 per cent more work than I usually manage" or "I increased my game by 110 per cent" i.e something that is possible or makes sense, then I wouldn't complain.

BASTARDS!

[Dazz]

Don't ask why but I hate it when someone says "Let's see the colour of your money", it irritates me.

I hate being called 'bruv' or 'cuz' (unless it's actually my cousin then I don't mind, lol) but I also hate chav talk (innit, blud, bare, yard, mans...). I actually heard a sentence with the mentioned in them and I just wanted to throw a dictionary at his head. It went something like "Yeye, de mans lits came down me yard ye and I sparked 'im out bruv. I was like "Naaaah nahhh, youse proper naughty innit coming down wid ya baaaaare mandem" and I called me Gs..."

...I'd rather hear nails down a chalkboard, it's just as annoying.

[MoogleViper]

It's a mainly american thing as far as I know. You hear it all the time on Tv shows and films from there.

Well most of the stuff that comes out of there is absolute tripe. I hate their inherent use of double negatives.

[Daft]

Double negatives are amazing when used properly. So are tautologies.

When people unnecessarily use the word 'literally'.

[Nolan]

Shih-Tzu (http://www.greatdogsite.com/admin/uploaded_files/1191991031shih_tzu.jpg) is not fucking pronounced Shit-Tzu, yet people constantly say it like that! If there was really a breed of dog with Shit in its name WHY WOULD YOU BUY IT?!

Also there they're their your you're, although I suppose that isn't really part of a saying or phrase though since it's written rather than spoken.

[Goafer]

Personally, I hate the saying ''If it aint broke, don't fix it''.

If it ain't broke, fix it untill it is. Can't remember where I heard that.

The totally nonsensical twisting of "Couldn't care less" into "Could care less", without the meaning changing with it.

It's unacceptable.

That annoys me too. Makes no sense. I heard someone say "I could care less, but I'd have to be asleep" once.



Phrases that annoy me:

People telling me to "Smile" when I'm clearly miserable. Fuck me, why didn't I think of that? Plus people who smile for no reason are often mentals. Twatbags.
"Is it Friday today?" "Yup, all day" That annoys me.
"Luke, I am your father" 24 fucking years I've had to put up with that. One day I'm just going to snap and tell them my Dad killed himself yesterday or something.

[Nolan]

Plus people who smile for no reason are often mentals. Twatbags.

They could be stoned. Unstoppable smiling while happen then.

[dan-likes-trees]

Pretty much anything facbeook kids use to describe their night.

"Uh-oh, such a Messy night!! So much banter though! Woooooooooo!!! Love my giiirrrrllliess!!"

I generally dislike use of lengethened words online also.

Anyway, IRL my vocab is comprised of about 60% stupid sayings and crap catchphrases so I can't really complain. Natch.

[Fresh]

"Bruv", Urgh. Usually muttered by retards who call everyone they meet this. "Yeah Bruv"

"Bear" (or is it "bare"?) in replace of very. Example. "Yeah Bruv, it was bear good."

"Sick", again, Urgh. "Yeah Bruv, it was bear good." "Sick".

"Blood", usually used by those even too cool to use Bruv. Just replace Bruz with Blood.

"Yeah Bruv, it was bear good." "Sick Blood"

[or else you will DIE]

"good times", "bad times", etc

whenever i hear that i just want to slit some fuckin throats

Messy

^^^ this shit too

"JOKES!"


and this

put em all together and what do you get

"AAAH JOKES NITE!!! GOT PROPER MESSY LOL GOOD TIMES!"


goodbye facebook account!

[Coolness Bears]

Deffo.

Just sounds like someone is making fun of the deaf in a really obvious way. :)

[Cube]

The use of negative words to describe something positive: "That was sick" and "The shit" spring to mind.

[ReZourceman]

"Bear" (or is it "bare"?) in replace of very. Example. "Yeah Bruv, it was bear good."

This one, when DNA digivolved with Dafts complaint "JOKES!" is the WORST thing ever. Almost as bad as;

The totally nonsensical twisting of "Couldn't care less" into "Could care less", without the meaning changing with it.

It's unacceptable.

The use of "banter" as a adjective, as in "it was banter". :nono:

[EEVILMURRAY]

"Stunning".

Don't forget Essential.


"Bruv"
"Bare"
"Sick"
"Blood"


"Yeah Bruv, it was bear good." "Sick Blood"
All of these, it doesn't help with my brother and all of his makes using them. Although I think they've stop using "blud"

"Brraaap!" is one of my hates, especially when it's accompanied by the Ali G wrist flick. No meaning whatsoever, plus it also reminds me of my inability to roll my R's.

[Dan Dare]

When my mother used to say to me as a kid when I was genuinely full from dinner "Don't waste you're food, there's people in the world that are starving right now".

I shit you not my mum used to tell us this and threaten to have us pipe fed in the hospital if we didn't finish our dinner.

In fairness, it worked. I'll eat anything.

[Coolness Bears]

This a conversation I had the other day at dinner:

Mum: When I was growing up we were made to eat everything on the plate. When have you ever caught me leaving anything?

Me: You left me alone for 3 hours on my last day of primary school...

YOU GOT TAKEN DOWN!

Dad: At least she didn't leave you on a plate.

His comment made me laugh. :grin:

[Daft]

The use of "banter" as a adjective, as in "it was banter". :nono:

I use 'banter'. Something I picked up in boarding school. I think it's a great word.

Then again, we had this thing where mispronounced words meant the opposite so with 'banter' you also got 'bunter', which meant shit banter. Then my own little addition, 'crunter' - chronic banter.

[chairdriver]

The use of "banter" as a adjective, as in "it was banter". :nono:

Isn't that a noun in that case...?

[MoogleViper]

Isn't that a noun in that case...?

No as it's describing something. e.g. yesterday was banter. Although fish you didn't use a great example.

[chairdriver]

No as it's describing something. e.g. yesterday was banter. Although fish you didn't use a great example.

Oh, I see.

If only English were an inflected language, we wouldn't have these problems!

[Raining_again]

And that is a very big reason why there are so many obese children, in this and the rest of all the "richer" countries (america, aussie, uk etc)

[Supergrunch]

The totally nonsensical twisting of "Couldn't care less" into "Could care less", without the meaning changing with it.

It's unacceptable.
How do you know "could care less" isn't sarcastic? It's probably used that way in some cases, and Goafers example definitely shows evidence of an understanding of the composite meaning of the phrase - how can it have a surface meaning anything other than "I care very little"?:
That annoys me too. Makes no sense. I heard someone say "I could care less, but I'd have to be asleep" once.
However, it's probably also the case that people have started to use this new form as an unanalysed whole, without thinking about the composite meaning, and I guess it's up to you whether or not to find that annoying. Similar things happen with lots of idioms - look at how " he kicked the bucket" is interpreted as "he died", and not broken down any further, as (partly) evidenced by the fact that you can't passivise it - "the bucket was kicked by him" only makes sense non-idiomatically.
"Could of" and "Would of". Even more so when people actually say it like that.
As you've alluded to, this started out as something written, rather than spoken at all, and so it was more a case of bad spelling than anything else. I suppose it's a bit up for debate as to whether this has ended up actually influencing pronunciation, as it might be that the "of" pronunciation is just a dialectal form of the "'ve" clitic. Either way, I'm pretty sure it remains the same syntactically, with the auxiliary verb having a pronunciation that happens to be the same as a preposition.
the word "random".
In popular usage? This is just weird, as it's really hard to define exactly what it means. It's definitely related to but very much distinct from the mathematical sense of the word.
Well most of the stuff that comes out of there is absolute tripe. I hate their inherent use of double negatives.
That's by no means specific to American dialects, or even the English language in general. Some languages, such as French, exhibit what's called "negative concord" - in "Je ne suis pas" ("I am not") both "ne" and "pas" are negative, and (in formal speech), obligatory, yet nobody complains there. English, by contrast, is what's called "semi-negative concord", in that negative concord is possible to an extent in some dialects. English and French are considered to be like this because they're both at different stages in a general process of language change called Jespersen's cycle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jespersen%27s_Cycle), and French is further on, so like it or not, English is probably going to become fully negative concord in the future.
Double negatives are amazing when used properly. So are tautologies.

When people unnecessarily use the word 'literally'.
Loads of common sayings are tautologies, like "boys will be boys", with information being added pragmatically. A great example of this is "people who like this sort of thing will find this is the sort of thing they like".

And in the case of "literally", I guess it's becoming semantically bleached and turning into a more functionalish intensifier.
The use of "banter" as a adjective, as in "it was banter". :nono:
Isn't that a noun in that case...?
Like Chair says, with the sentence you give, you can't rule out "banter" being treated as a determiner-less noun, c.f. with "It was London."
No as it's describing something. e.g. yesterday was banter. Although fish you didn't use a great example.
Even in this case it could still arguably be a noun - c.f. with "Are we going to London today?" "No, yesterday was London." Admittedly, however, it seems much more likely that it's just a straightforward adjective. But then people verb nouns all the time, so why shouldn't they make them adjective? (this of course works better when there isn't a convenient standard adjectival form, such as... "adjectival" in this case :heh:)
If only English were an inflected language, we wouldn't have these problems!
Well, it might make things clearer in some cases, but English does have a little bit of inflection. Furthermore, it overtly exhibits derivation (e.g. the conversion of a word into a different grammatical class, such as from noun to verb) a lot more often, as in the case of "adjectival" above. My intuitions suggest that to adjectivise (the -ise suffix indicating verbing (here a null derivaiton affix, but the -ing inflection demonstrating the new class)) "banter" I'd use the suffix "-ous" (banterous), but it seems that people are happy to use a null suffix to indicate the derivation too. As in the case of verbing!

[Dan Dare]

the problem with 'random' nowadays grunch is that it's...wildly misused. It's used like 'odd' should be, to describe events that are clearly not 'random' in any sense of the word.

I'm with J-Dizzle. It's goddamn infuriating.

[Charlie]

The classic footballer lines...
"At the end of the day"
"like the gaffer says"
"110%"

And The Apprentice one
"I'll put my hands up"

[Aimless]

"Brraaap!" is one of my hates, especially when it's accompanied by the Ali G wrist flick. No meaning whatsoever, plus it also reminds me of my inability to roll my R's.
I believe the sound, and accompanying gesture, is meant to signify the use of a firearm in a limp-wristed, gangster style.

Gun crime. It's great.

Anyway, I've always resented, "Don't be cheeky!" It essentially translates to, "I'm older than you, you should show me respect at all times even though I show you none." It can also stand in for, "I don't understand what you just said, so I'm going to go ahead and get annoyed about it."

[Nolan]

Leave it to supergrunch to come in here and rationalize our annoyances.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I fucking hate the word "banter." I used to work with a guy who would describe every night out as "epic banter!" Pissed me right off.

Charlie, those footballer lines you mentioned also grate my cheese, too. I loathe the phrase "six of one, half a dozen of the other." Or, "swings and roundabouts." Grrr.

Another personal hate is how everything suddenly becomes "epic." No. Certain things are epic. That brilliant Tennis match between Nadal and Federer at Wimbledon 2008 was epic. The Lord of the Rings films are deserving of that word. But, I hate how the term is overused.

Finally, I get annoyed when celebrities (or anyone for that matter) overuse the words "obviously" and "like" or "totally" during interviews. Mark "Obviously" Hughes, I'm looking at you.

[Dyson]

"Half-chance". SERIOUSLY THIS ISN'T EVEN POSSIBLE YOU EITHER HAVE A CHANCE OR DON'T SO STOP FUCKING SAYING IT RAAARRGGHH

(am I right mr grunch?)

[Dan Dare]

on football clichés:

I kind of enjoy them. They're so completely over baked at this point that the only possible use for them is in self parody and satire- which I indulge in when people who actually follow football start talking in tongues around me. I just whip out a few oldies and pepper the conversation untill they catch on.

[dwarf gourami]

"Epic" & "Fail" are almost always used in a non-deserving situation, due to their spammable nature.

The examples below can be extremely annoying sometimes:
"I'm not gonna lie"
"Fair play" or "Fair enough"
"To be honest"

And the worst thing is that I use them myself.

There are so many shit phrases around these days, I should probably write them down whenever I encounter one. The newest one being the aforementioned 'banter', or 'bants/bantz' or whatever idiots call it. The word used to be good, it's probably Dave's fault, seeing as he's the home of the witty version of it (supposedly).

Edit: I agree with those football sayings. What gets me is this kind of situation though:
Interviewer: Well done Wayne, great game out there today, grabbing all 14 of those stunning goals, you must feel extremely pleased with your performance
Rooney: Erm yeah, erm. What I think is most important is that we got the 3 points

Bullshit. You scored 14 goals, only people that really want to come off as modest bellends would say that. I knew If I'd have scored 14 goals I would have just said that I was awesome and that the reason behind the victory wasn't because of the team performance, but in fact it was just me.

[Dan Dare]

'to be fair' makes me want to stab a bitch.

When used in parody or satire, I can deal with them. But, watching a game and hearing these phrases often does kill my erection. Taking the piss with them is fine, though. :heh:

[Cube]

'to be fair' makes me want to stab a bitch.

Erm....never speak to me as it will annoy you. Although, to be fair, I don't really know why I say it as every sentence I use it in would have exactly the same meaning without it.

"In my opinion" is another one. Even worse is when people complain that others don't say it.

[dwarf gourami]

'to be fair' makes me want to stab a bitch.

Damn that was the one I was thinking of. I almost typed it to be fair.

And true Cube. IMO is one of the crappest things to grace this earth.

'To be fair' is much worse though because people usually use it at the start of the sentence before they think about what they're saying.

[Dan Dare]

It's when they're used as justification for a statement, like some kind of apology.

textbook example is 'that's pretty good to be fair'

Don't apologies for an opinion. State what you feel to be true and the very fact that you said it denotes opinion.

[dwarf gourami]

Yeah there's that, and it is in a way like they are conceding defeat in saying something else is good.

'To be fair that was awesome'. No.

[Fierce_LiNk]

To be fair is ok, if it's used about once a month or something. But, when it's used every ten minutes, then the stabbing is justified.

OH! I've got another one, but it's different. When people give kisses in text messages or facebook messages by the hundreds. "I LUV U BABY! xxxx xxx xx x x x x xxx xxx xxx xx x x x x x x x xxxxxxxxxx x x xx xxxxx"

Stick to the fucking code

The Code:

One Kiss for a male friend or a female who you are not entirely friends with. Somebody you walk past and say hi, for example, but never properly speak to them or know much about them.

Two Kisses for good friends. People you trust, are close to, etc. Two kisses can only be used with a guy friend if there is a man crush involved.

Three Kisses for the person that you love. At a push, this can be used for your best friend. Use sparingly if that is the case.

NO MORE. There is none of this 4 or 5 or five hundred kisses bullshit.

[dwarf gourami]

On Facebook I'm not a great lover of the :L or (Y) being used when they don't even work as emoticons.

What is detestable is the 'ahahahaaahahahaaaahahahaha' thing people do. When did it start with an 'a' anyway?

[Dan Dare]

Personally, the actual sound of my laugh starts on the exhale- so starting 'high' on the a makes phonetic sense for me ;)

[Fierce_LiNk]

What is detestable is the 'ahahahaaahahahaaaahahahaha' thing people do. When did it start with an 'a' anyway?

In real life, I think I laugh something like "aaaaaaahahahahahahahahha." Or at least, when I'm mocking somebody, or something. That makes more sense to me than "haha."

I'm with Dan on this one.

[dwarf gourami]

As I wrote that I was thinking that it might make more sense, but I checked my own laughter and it doesn't really start with any combination of letters. The 'ahahahahaha' thing is annoying because it is always dragged on for half an aeon, when the traditional 'haha' or 'lol' would suffice.

[Dan Dare]

I want to salt the earth under lol. It's spread like a virus and there's no escape.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I'm probably guilty of that, so I apologise to you now.
I think by saying it and dragging it, you are showing the appreciation for something that is funny. "Haha" would be the one that gets mostly used, as I save the "aaaaahahahahaha" one for something that tickles me. I mean, it would have to be something very amusing to get that one. It depends how easily amused that person is, I believe.

[Dan Dare]

also: I reserve 'Ha!' for sarcasm.

[Nolan]

I'll use to be fair to state a fact after usually suing hyperbole to take the piss out off something.

Band 'X' is overrated trash, although to be fair their songs are catchy.

I thought of something else though, people who use air quotes while talking.

[Dyson]

That reminds me when people write likeeeee thisssssss.

"Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh gonna get trashedddd toniteeeeeeee :)"

"miss you babyyyyyyyyyyy"

"facebook is boringggggg...someone chatttt!"

[ReZourceman]

"Half-chance". SERIOUSLY THIS ISN'T EVEN POSSIBLE YOU EITHER HAVE A CHANCE OR DON'T SO STOP FUCKING SAYING IT RAAARRGGHH

"It's not you, it's me"

that just sounds so stupid to me. Like they got it off the back of some crappy romance novel. God help you if you say that to a woman in real life, total relationship ender right there!

[Eenuh]

"It's not you, it's me"

that just sounds so stupid to me. Like they got it off the back of some crappy romance novel. God help you if you say that to a woman in real life, total relationship ender right there!

Isn't that usually the point of that sentence being used though? To break off a relationship?

[Daft]

One that's recently driven me postal is, "Am I the only one that thinks...[BLAH BLAH!!]?"

The answer is always an emphatic NO!. If these people had an original thought their heads would explode.

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

I'm guilty of using many of the mentioned phrases. I absorb pop culture way too much.

THIS, however ...

That reminds me when people write likeeeee thisssssss.

"Yeaaaaaaahhhhhh gonna get trashedddd toniteeeeeeee :)"

"miss you babyyyyyyyyyyy"

"facebook is boringggggg...someone chatttt!"
... REALLY gets on my nerves! If you absolutely HAVE to express the dragging out of words in your text, at LEAST drag out the proper part of the word!

When you drag out the word "boring", it is not the 'ng' part you drag out, it's the VOWELS! Also, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRAG OUT A 'T' SOUND!

Surely it depends on how many retard friends you have though?

[Kirkatronics]

One thing which really grinds my gears is when you hear people talking to their other halfs in baby voices and calling each other things like baby girl, and one which my friend says "My panda bear".
It doesn't bother me that they can actually do that to each other, but that they do it in public..

[The Lillster]

Every saying from the Blackcountry dialect.

Stuff like, "How am ya!", Aright shag!" and when they acknowledge you with "Oh R!".

Also "Fink", instead of "Think" and "Feo", instead of "Theo", etc...

Disgusting. :nono:

[Paj!]

"It's not you, it's me"

I understand it being used every now and again, like in birthday cards and such, but it's just been completely devalued as a gesture by a whole plethora of morons who use it all the time whether it's one, two or a millions "x"s.

I am guilty of typing words like thisssssss (so is Jim). But that's 'cause we often talk like that in real life I think. >.>;

Also the kisses, I never use kisses, except for Jim. And that's only because he expects them to be there. If I don't put kisses he immediately thinks I'm upset or something. :rolleyes:

Isn't that behaviour reserved for oversensitive women? ;)

[Eenuh]

Oversensitive women and Jim. There's a subcategory just for him.

oooo burn!

I do remember the epic post he made where he went into detail about what each and every x meant on the end of every text.

[nightwolf]

FUCK YES!!

I understand it being used every now and again, like in birthday cards and such, but it's just been completely devalued as a gesture by a whole plethora of morons who use it all the time whether it's one, two or a millions "x"s.

My other half is awesome because he doesn't use x's ever, ah the bliss. No 'where's my x?' or 'why only 3 x's?'

I do admit I have from time to time used x in conversations from force of habit, but it annoys me for too long afterwards!

Haha poor Jim!

[D_prOdigy]

I'm not racist, but

[nightwolf]

I'm not racist, but

''I'm not homophobic, my friend is gay''
''I'm not racist, I have lots of black friends''

Just argh! :laughing:

[Kirkatronics]

Every saying from the Blackcountry dialect.

Stuff like, "How am ya!", Aright shag!" and when they acknowledge you with "Oh R!".

Also "Fink", instead of "Think" and "Feo", instead of "Theo", etc...

Disgusting. :nono:
Where i live, everyone speaks like that.
Never heard anyone say Theo, so i can't back you up on that one.
It does annoy me when people call my girlfriend Eva though.
Its Heather.

[EEVILMURRAY]

One thing which really grinds my gears is when you hear people talking to their other halfs in baby voices and calling each other things like baby girl, and one which my friend says "My panda bear".
It doesn't bother me that they can actually do that to each other, but that they do it in public..
Even worse... "Boo", not sure whether the Nelly song came before or after it was used, it certainly didn't help matters.

Unless they were singing about this, that would be acceptable:

I love Boo. Hence why I used to be King Boo/Boo da Ghost on RE and CE respectively.

Yes Eevil.

[EEVILMURRAY]

Are you saying you dis/agree with me?

[dwarf gourami]

I just appreciated your stance towards the character Boo. I.e acknowledging it.

[nightwolf]

''My bird'' When referring to their girlfriends.

I am now going to start ripping out people's testicles when I hear it.

[Happenstance]

I hate hearing guys call their girlfriends "babe"

[D_prOdigy]

"Get out of my garden or I'll call the police"

Just grinds my gears.

[Happenstance]

"Get out of my garden or I'll call the police"

Just grinds my gears.

Stop going in peoples gardens then!

[Dan Dare]

Surely it depends on how many retard friends you have though?

It's not facebook- it's a totally different site.

[mcj metroid]

GAYYY!

being used to describe something shit

[Fierce_LiNk]

Haha poor Jim!

If anybody wants me, I'll be in the corner. :laughing:

The code works, people. Embrace eet. One day, you will learn.

I just thought of another one: When people say "Oh My Days/Daze/Dayz." Hate it.

[Fused King]

The word 'like' seems to pop up more and more in English conversations.

"I turned around to him and said...then he turned to me and said...so I just like turned round and said....then she turned to me....and I turned and was just like....etc etc"

Really, really bad, although it conjures up the amusing image of people slowly revolving during an argument.

[Ellmeister]

I hate hearing guys call their girlfriends "babe"

I find it easier than her full name. Its just ease, and she quite likes it as well. I don't say it when out in public though, but to her I do.

As for the x's thing, its an x for a girl sometimes, just randomly. As for my girlfriend, she gets an "Xx". Thats it. Nothing more, nothing less, which can get me in trouble if I accidentally forget :p

[Ashley]

I just put one at the end of all messages (completely voiding its intended meaning but hey ho) except to straight males and students (most of the time...)

Anything Ellmeister says annoy me. Particularly "no, you can't impregnate my sister."

Hey, its your funeral!

Be my guest, someone has to at some point, I just thought it would be mid-sixties :p

[Paj!]

Not a "saying", but I hate when people say "Why are you in a bad mood?", and you say that just cause you aren't saying anything doesn't mean you're in a bad mood. Then they keep insisting, until you are in a bad mood. With them.

This x 1 million.

I don't smile giddily like everyone else and so its assumed I'm miserable.

Yet you always become miserable when they say you are.

[Frank]

Although it is sometimes funny I usually find it aggravating when people love to quote common as muck sayings from T.V. shows such as Family Guy...Ugh!

I also 100% agree with the comments about "could care less" and "are you in a bad mood?" They push all the wrong buttons for me!

[Iun]

"oooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh...... somebody's ti-red!"

FUCK YOU!

[Cube]

People who ask "Is it nice?" when you're eating something.

Be quiet! I'm trying to enjoy my food. I'll tell you if it's nice after (if it wasn't already obvious by the fact that I'm eating it and not complaining).

If someone asked me if my food was nice I'd have to say something like "Oh yes, it complimented me on my shoes." or "No, this little bastard kicked me in the shin so I'm eating it for revenge."
