"I just lost my faith in humanity." or "What is the world coming to?"
Shit happens all the time, get over it. I don't need to hear about your lack of faith, especially if it didn't happen to you personally.
Also people saying "too" or "two" instead of "to". Their instead of they're etc. Learn english, its not hard!

It doesn't irritate me in the least, much like 'ma' is abbreviated for mama & 'pa' for papa (though there's a strong etymological argument that they are also abbreviated forms of mater & pater). 'Bro.' is also an accepted written abbreviation for some members of religious orders in the same way that 'Dr.' abbreviates doctor.Saltyk said:
I cringe every time someone says, "pet peeve."
I cringe how proper grammar says to put sentence punctuation inside of quotations.
I cringe whenever people improperly conjugate "to forget" in English

I have 2 that I don't like.

have faith/believe/trust your gut and all that jazz. No, think it through, take some insight into the situation, use your goddamned mind. I hate the idolisation of faith, I do not understand how faith by itself is somehow good. (Note I have no problem with the religious or anything, I just don't see why faith is good).
Could care less.
I mean, really? n't. That's all you need: n't.
It's just a theory.
'slap'
and of course: Because I said so.
Don't hear it too much anymore but if someone says that to me they can expect a laugh of derision and subsequently being ignored. No, justify yourself, unless we're in a situation where trust is important (eg little time) I will not trust you blindly and will fully expect you to explain why I should do something where there is little or no merit in me doing it.

Personally, I don't like the term "bro". I always think of drunk ignorant frat boys. Even when friends call me "bro", I always think of drunk ignorant frat boys. I could probably add it to my list of phrases that make me cringe.catalyst8 said:
"Its political correctness gone mad!"
Half the time its in response to not being able to call a black guy a n*gger, and the other of the time its because some school in a remote village on Mauritius has gotten a little over-zealous in what it thinks people might be offended by.
And the "could care less" thing, obviously.

ninja'd. Ninjas fucking suck they were not like the ninjas that everyone pictured. The used guerrilla warfare to fight against the Samaria class and were simple peasants.
How about "Brah"?Saltyk said:
EDIT: I should also point out that I only really use bro to piss people off as in "cool story, bro"
All of my three pet peeves have been ninja'd already, but here they are:
-"Because I said so" makes me rage so hard because a person who says that is usually saying that they don't have a good reason and are just being an ass.
-"could/would/should OF" It's HAVE you goddamn moron!
-"Could care less" Couldn't. It's COULDN'T care less. Saying that you could makes no sense because you'd be saying that you do care at least a little bit whereas what you're trying to say is that you don't care at all.

The one you just said, I know people who say crap like "It's cringey when people use my words like cringe they ruin it."
Bro, Cus, Sis.. basically, anything that indicates a familial relationship to someone I am in no, sensible, way related too.
It happens here a lot, normally as part of a request for me to give them something for nothing.
"ey bro, got a dolla for a smoke bro?"

Anything intentionally misspelled on the internet in order to assert that a person you disagree with is stupid. It's no more advanced than flinging your limp hand against your chest and shouting aloud "Imma wetard!" There was a Community (watch it!) episode about this sort of thing. I think it was called "The Shmitty!"
Anything that's already been referenced more than a dozen times on the internet in the past week just that I've observed, without seeming cognizance that others have figured it out. Like when someone thinks they're the first person to use the word "bacon" out of context online, and they don't even know who Kevin Bacon is. Clever that is not.
"I think everybody outside of my country/race/sex/demographic just bitches too much. We're the only ones who have it hard." Shut the fuck up. Maybe if your activities occasionally extended to the real world you'd be aware of the actual suffering out there and you wouldn't think that Little Big Planet having Move-exclusive content is worse than the plight of the people of Darfur. This extends most especially to white people living in the free world.
Oh, no-no juice! Um, that's good no-no juice.

"I'm deceptively innocent, teehee. "
Unless you mean that you're actually MORE innocent than you appear, you immature little twerp, then you're not using that correctly.
Grrr...
