Things people say in conversation that annoy the hell out of you.

[Scrythe]

People who upon seeing a word they cannot pronounce, they just wing it and pretend that it is the correct way to say it. Then they turn around and say "fuck you" when you correct them, and sometimes continue using the word incorrectly.

Also, people who abuse the words "like", "ironic", "pseudo" and "former/latter".

 

[metacree]

The #1 thing that annoys me is small talk. When bored at work, I have a fantastic world in my head that I can visit. People always interrupt this when they ask how my day is going or my opinion on the weather.

 

[Zaksav91]

When every other word a person says is "LIKE"

 

[Spiner909]

Y'know?
Like, um...like..and she was like omg SOOOO like, um what?

 

[AWAR]

Raping poor grammar is something i cant handle .

People that say "rape" to mean "something bad that happened to them".

Hey, you know what rape is? It's rape. It's not you doing badly on an exam or getting owned in a game.

GJ trolling escapist,I have bad news for you though

Rape
(...)
4)an act of plunder, violent seizure, or abuse; despoliation; violation: the rape of the countryside.

 

[PixieFox]

I have a problem with that, as well, though I cannot say that I never use "OMG" or "LOL," not very often though. In addition to my previous post, people who actually say "XD!" when something is funny is reallyfuckinggay

Ugh.

Wait, you're telling me people actually say emoticons now?! When did this start?

 

[CK76]

Every third word my sister says is "like"

It makes me die inside (though it can be pretty fun to count it behind her back when she's talking - I think the highest I got to was 33 during a rather short conversation, before she noticed I was counting and she stopped talking)

Hey, that was our favorite game in school during speeches. No one could beat this one girl, in a three minute speech she said "like" 45 times. Her speech was on the value of education, it was classic.

Other one that bugs me is using words such as "irregardless" that are not part of the language and do not make sense to me in any context.

 

[omega 616]

I have no idea why but I loathe "at the end of the day", it's one of those stupid sayings like "it's always in the last place you look".

"Lad" and "innit" on the end on every sentence annoys me aswell.

Or the way English people have the way of insulting you then asking if you agree with them, "your a dick, aren't ya?", has anybody answered yes to a question like that?

 

[Latinidiot]

the simple statement: 'I know, right?'
I lose consciousness upon hearing and wake up in a pool of blood that isn't my own

 

[SCAFC Chimp]

in english, people ending every single sentence with the words "you know?"
in spanish, there is a redundant way of speaking that annoys me beyond any measure, a translated example would be:
"I was going to the school, I was"
"You cannot go there, you cannot"
I mean, wtf.

oh and people speaking of things they don't know as if they were experts

My friend does the spanish thing, but in english. I never got it.
EDIT: When girls I know say "dude". We live in rural-ish britain, why do you need to talk like that?

 

[MetalDooley]

People who say "learned" when they mean "taught"..."he learned me how to drive"..no he didn't
People who say "teached" instead of taught.."he teached me english"..obviously not very well by the sounds of it
People who add an unnecessary s to the end of words .. for example the supermarket chain "Lidl".I have heard tons of people calling it "Lidls"

 

[BubbaJeff]

I don't know why, but when people say something is 'really addicting' it annoys me more than it realistically should. I mean, its in the dictionary, its a real word and everything. To me, it just sounds wrong, whereas 'addictive' sounds right. Maybe i'm just a weirdo...

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

"At the end of the day..." probably the most overused phrase in the English language.

 

[Batfred]

I really hate "you know", you know?

I also get annoyed at English people saying sKedule instead of schedule. We know that the Americans have caned our fine language, but that is not an excuse for copying them. Add 'erb and aluminum to that list too.

so you don't pronounce it sKool, you pronounce it school?

Hey, it's an old language with irregular words and crazy rules. Why do you say 'erb instead of herb and not 'istory instead of history?

 

[TriggerHappyAngel]

people who keep using the same quotes from a video or game over and over again -__-

 

[Always_Remain]

This is an gaming forum and no one has said this yet . . . Guess I have to . . . DON'T CHA KNOW!?

I hate that so much. Especially from people with Canadian accents. (sorry Canadians)

Also when people over exaggerate. "Oh no! I lost my favorite shirt! I will DIE!" Just go buy the same shirt or pick a new favorite shirt. It's for your health apparently.

 

[Gincairn]

When people say "literally" but don't use it properly.

"I'm literally going to explode because I've eaten so much"

No you aren't. You're just an idiot.

Pretty much this.

And "ain't" gets used very badly. Usually ending in a double negative - " I ain't never jumping off a cliff".
Excellent - get on with it then.

Oooh wait, this one too.

Ah yes, anyone who disagrees with you on the internet is a troll. It may not count for the thread, but "poster is just trolling" is up there on my e-annoyances of internet conversation.

I love how you list only one definition given by the dictionary.com too. How about you go back and look at the first three really closely before going on the defensive?

There is no point, the definitions are clear.Besides I have identified you as a smartass-troll trying to dispute everything making his e-penis larger.
Have fun on the escapist.
