Things People Say That Piss You Off

[djs.specs]

"Legalising gay marriage will lead to the legalisation of polygamy, incest, paedophilia and bestiality."

I desperately loathe 'slippery slope' arguments in general, but this one has a special place in my blackened heart. While no-one's dared say it to my face yet, my slapping hand is primed for when someone is stupid enough to do so.

When people forgets something they have said, and then repeats it. Sometimes its months in between, but when it no more than a week since they told me the funny story about the dog and the boat, my eye starts to twitch.

EDIT: People who think "Alot" is an English word. It isn't

Spoiler: Alot

Spoiler: used like this

OT: "Could care less", "could of" etc. It's the small things that annoy me the most.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

When people say "I could care less" despite the most basic of logic dictating it should be "couldn't" I feel very inclined to smack them.

What's worse is when you correct them on it and they state "I could care less".

OT: People who say "Don't like it, don't watch it" as a resposne to any critique or criticism made against them or their new internet idol. If you don't like my critique, then don't read it.

GNU's Not Unix. Goddamn recursive acronyms...

I think its annoying when people try to use other languages for one word in the middle of a sentince. Choose one language and stick too it. It's even worse when they do it and proceed to translate right after, why did you bother if your just going to translate directly after it makes no sence eugggg. Lastly I hate when they do that and if you don't know the word they act like your a idiot for not knowing.

 

[CaptainTrilby]

When people call people from England British instead of English. I hate that.

Spoiler: Also, when people use this flag to represent England

Spoiler: When they really mean this

 

[KiruTheMant]

When people you are typing back and forth to respond with ... for no reason,then stop responding. I AM NOT RESPONDING TO THREE DOTS, I HAVE NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THREE DOTS.

 

[Jamboxdotcom]

When people use a noun in place of an already accepted verb form of the same word. Example: "pleasure me" when they could say "please me" instead; fackin' stupid.

And somewhat related to this, if people are going to use a foreign word or expression, learn to pronounce it correctly! I.e. "en route": it's pronounced ON ROOT, not En Rowt or In Rootie. Granted, when i get upset about that stuff, i have to be sure never to attend any Catholic service, because Church Latin would probably set me on a killing spree.

A number of people on here have used it before. "Consenting adults" should be enough of a response for them, but a lot just don't want to get it in their heads.

OT: "Until science can explain everything, I will remain religious."

You know what? Fine. That's your choice, but please be aware how fucking retarded a decision that is, and please don't think it puts you on higher ground. Its not about who answers everything first, its about who answers everything correctly.

And then there's when you say something, and some arse hole (and there's plenty on here who to do it) who feel the need to add "In your opinion", to what I've said.

OF COURSE ITS MY OPINION. I JUST SAID IT IN RELATION TO SOMETHING COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE YOU STUPID FUCK.

There aren't that many times when a distinction would need to be made.

Possibly straying into a sensitive topic...

Spoiler

I know this doesn't really fit in with the tone of the thread, but it's on topic: I find it really, really annoying, frustrating, & even sad when people misuse the word "gay" to mean "stupid," "annoying," or as a just plain bad word.

Nowadays, people use "gay" in the EXACT same ways that the racist bigots used to use the N word. There's nothing you can really do about it, either. If you call them out for it, they just get all defensive, "I would NEVER use the N word! But, I'll say things are gay all I want! I'm not a bigot. That's gay! Stop being a pussy."

"It's all good."

.......................................

Have you looked at the recent state of the human fucking species? No, it is not all good. It's mostly shit.

You know what I say to people who say that? Go eat a blue waffle and then tell me "It's all good".

 

[Thespian]

Could of.
Aaaaaaaaaarrrrgh!! Raaaaaaaaaage!!
This pisses me off more than the existence of chavs! How in hell do people think that 'could of' is correct grammar?! It's 'could have' or 'could've'. 'Could of'?! Seriously?!

...Christ, I have some stupid friends

Oh. Good. God.

That annoys the hell out of me. Ugh.

 

[Mandalore_15]

When people say "I could care less". So pretty much just Americans. But seriously, come on!

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Whenever someone has declared they've lost faith in humanity, I want to track down the person who said them, pick them up, have them look themselves in the mirror, then slap them across the face.

 

[teh lurker]

I hate it when people leave words out of sentences. For example, when someone says "all the sudden" instead of "all of the sudden". Granted, I think using suddenly is more efficient in that case, but no matter.

I also hate it when people leave "to be" out of their usual speech. For example, I had to talk to a customer at my shop about his Dodge Caravan. It's making a clunking sound in the front end when going over bumps, which I diagnosed as being bad strut mounts. The conversation went like this:

Me: The clunking noise in the front end of your van is the strut mounts making noise. It's a common fail point on these vans. I also recommend that you replace the struts at the same time, since I have to take them off of the van and disassemble them anyway. (calm voice)

Him: How do you know that the strut mount need replaced? (calm voice)

Me: The mounts are making noise. I've seen it a million times in the 10 years I've been repairing cars. (calm voice)

Him: I don't think that they need replaced. I think you're just trying to take my money. (yelling at the top of his lungs)

Me: Well, if that's the way you feel I'll be more than happy to put the wheels back on your van and put it back outside and you can live with the noise. Makes no difference to me. My car's not going to make clunking noises on the way home. (calm voice, scowl)

Him: You're very rude. You shouldn't treat customers like that. (yelling)

Me: I'm not paid to talk to customers at all. I'm paid to turn a wrench. You asked me what was wrong with your van, I told you and you didn't like my answer. Now, I'm going to go back into the shop and get back to work. (low, angry voice)

 

[Alleged_Alec]

"You have to teach the controversy" and any other statement which tries to either discredit science (evolutionary biology in specific) or attempts to make creationism look like it has some scientific basis.

One of the worst examples of this: the word 'evolutionist'. It's not a position of faith, jackass. Now go back to school and learn something about the theory of evolution before making invalid arguments about it, you bloody dickwad.

 

[scorptatious]

When someone says that a certain game, movie, or show appeals to the "lowest common denominator". This really bugs me, as it's pretty much saying that you're stupid if you enjoy this kind of thing.

 

[Scarim Coral]

The "Have you got a job yet?" or "Have you try this to get a job?"

I know they mean well but I don't want to be constanstly reminded that I'm unemployed.
