a2gerry saidIn a restaurant, the phrase "you still working on that" as asked by a server.

silverfox1 saidWhen you are talking on the phone with someone, and all of a sudden they say,

"I'm gonna let you go".

I want to say back "eat me".

double saidHey Erik, meet J-Roc

HRGUY saidYou go girl...

look_alive saidI hate when someone pronounces the word "pictures" as "pitchers". It makes me violent.

Also aggravating is "irregardless". That's not even a word. Just say "regardless".

Lastly, I have been accused of saying "might could have" and "might should have". Now, I try to catch it before I do. :-)

Ooh goody! Can I play?

"For all intensive purposes"
"A hard road to hoe"
The use of "whenever" when you mean to say "when"
The use of "I'm living" when you mean to say "I have been living" (watch Real Housewives of New York, you'll see what I mean)

Now the gay ones:

Ooh, snap!
Oh my stars!
Girlfriend!

Well, it really depends on the restaurant you choose, doesn't it? I agree, that shouldn't happen in a 5-star establishment. In a chain, well, what do you expect? Or in any inexpensive place, the staff isn't going to be that well-trained and refined. If you want impeccable service, be more selective.

At the restaurant I work at (I'd say it's probably an upper four star steakhouse...three weeks of "FML" training + tests until they finally let you have a go at the floor) we are trained to suggest "May I take anything out of your way?" without suggesting their plates.

Sometimes all they want you to get out of their way are the condensed beverage napkins at the base of their glass, which we MUST replace if they are moist... works for me...

^ ^ THIS! That annoys me to no end.

I hate when I'm in a store, and someone asks me, "Do you work here?"
I normally reply, "No...do YOU work here?"

I've always hated the phrase " Told You So."

It's so arrogant and silly.

Soulasphyxia said"Whatever" is probably the most annoying word you could say to me whenever I'm trying to explain something or just giving my opinion about something. I left a friend to catch his own ride home when I was explaining him what was going on and he said that to me. It's very irritating.

ThelStratFuck my life...

Bill202 said"it is what it is"

Wow, that's profound!

Sporty_g said" 'SUP?"...are you too lazy to speak in complete words and thoughts?
..."AXE" used in place of "ASK".... as in, "I want to ASK you a question." and the mis-use of "Their", "There" and "They're" or "hear" vs. "here", "hair" vs. "hare", "form" vs "forum" and other similar situations where (vs wear) different spellings of sound-alike words have big differences in meaning...."then" vs "than", etc....

dashdashdash said"chillax" Urrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggh

agri_sci saidG-d there are soo many...

"That's so fierce"

Any sentence with shortened words that shouldn't be like "Delish" (Delicious) or "Belige" (Belligerent).

Any sentence uttered by a gay man starting with "GUUURLLL..."

"That's Christian of you"

Any Obama Slogan....

whosyourpaddy said"hi how are you?"

OMG you are so stupid. Thats one of the best phrases out there. When u ask someone how they are and they reply they are blessed, that means they really are. Dont you feel blessed everyday? I know I do cause I can see another day or do things I normally do everyday. Dont knock someone cause they feel blessed and you dont.

"For all intensive purposes" is really "for all intents and purposes".

I thought so too.

I just don't like when Barista's at Starbucks repeat the entire order back after the Chick I gave my order too just yelled it.. and god help me if they didn't hear it because then the chick who took your order is going to say it again and then the person making your drink is going to say it again while marking it on your cup... and then say it again when they hand your drink to you..

mmmm coffee..

imperator saidTraditionally my pet peeves have been double negatives, Bushisms, and evasive politspeak (ie. Q: "So would you say the minister lied?" non-A: "I believe he was not perfectly honest on the issue." Q: "But as to the specific numbers that he knew, are you saying that he lied about them?" non-A: "Well that's for the committee to determine, but as I said I don't think he told the whole truth." .... so, in other words, YES! You fucking think he lied! Spit it out you dissembling chickenshit!).

jeffy87 saidI hate hate HATE the phrase "family values". I'm all for love, compassion, spending time together, eating dinner together, and all that jazz. But everytime I hear the phrase used, it's in the context of religious anti-gay propaganda. It got especially irritating in "Yes on prop 8" campaign.

manatee1986 saidUm, like, you know, I really hate it, um, like when people use, like, too many verbal fillers? Like, you know?

Or when people talk and sound like every sentence they say is a question??

dancerjack saidi have a general dislike for dude/bro-isms...

for example:

dude like wuzzup?
hey man that's kewl, bro.
nah buddy, i'm str8 acting.

AAAAAAAAARGH!

I think you're missing the point.
1) Of course no one wants to hear what's really going on---if they knew, they'd be depressed for days if it's bad, and if it's good they don't know you well enough to celebrate with you. Plus, the sharing of that kind of information with someone you barely know is uncomfortable.

2) This kind of talk comes under the classification of ice-breakers. It can lead nowhere, or it can lead to more stimulating stuff. But it's like the salutation "Dear Paddy:" at the top of a letter. It would be disconcerting to simply plunge into the text.

3) It's only a "waste of 20 seconds" if you view any further interaction with the person as a waste of time.

Daytona saidI hate "going forward" particularly when used by upper management. If they haven't discovered that time only run in one direction (short of worm holes) they should be booted to the curb without parting gifts.

allgoodinhwood saidThe other thing that drives me with crazy is with instant messages at work when someone's first IM to me is "Hi Brett" and then they wait for me to respond. I would rather that they just launch into what they want and skip the "hi" -- it wastes time when you get a bunch of those everyday. Just say what you want to say!

barriehomeboy saidThis dumb bitch in management goes around saying "FYI" then blathers on about things that don't interest anyone. I find solace in it also being an acronym for Fuck You Idiot!

Musclequest saidI just reported this arse to Realjock. Please let's have as many people report this baffoon as soon as possible!!!
