I'm going to go ahead and say that this one picture sums up every little fad and misconception concerning the English language which irritate me.

It pisses me off when people say "no" to me, as in a refusal. I tend to turn quite livid when this occurs, and then blue, as I hold my breath and petulantly stamp my feet. When the person in question turns away in disgust, that's when I strike them behind the ear with my sap (or blackjack, if you prefer), before bundling them into my nondescript van (the one with fake number plates).
When, oh when will people ever learn that I am just not the person to whom you want to say "no"?

So much THIS!! I really don't understand why someone would say "Can't be asked" there is no reason for it! Also how do you mix up brought and bought? They mean completely different things =_= I also don't like how people over use strong words such as love and hate.JWRosser said:

Not literally, obvs, but still. That was fucking hilarious.
Sort of related to what you said, I hate when something is ironic, and someone says "no it isn't, it's [insert another form of irony here]." Futurama bugged me with this in my otherwise-favorite episode, The Devil's Hand's Are Idle Playthings. The running joke is someone saying "how ironic", and Bender responding "That's not ironic, it's [blank]", culminating in him eventually defining irony as "The use of words expressing meanings other than their literal intention." Yes, that is one kind of irony, but there are others. In fact, the very first thing he said wasn't ironic actually was situational irony (the other examples were not, though).J-dog42 said:
Not directing this at you, by the way, the examples you gave were not ironic.
People who don't understand that racism towards each human being in equivalent and that no one's history is technically filled with "more racism" than another's. It's a human flaw yes, but no one has the right to say "X Group has it harder than Y Group". Your saying people have had greater amounts of pain and therefore deserve more consideration of mercy for their actions if they reflect upon their own history in retrospect. Sorry, but racism towards your own group is not higher nor lower than anyone else's.
Likewise, people who don't view racism from a neutral/understanding/humane angle. Just bloody hell quit treatin the so called "racist" peson like the plague and they may form some understanding as to why you feel the way you do. Be open-minded to what effects others and why they think the way they do. Sometimes there are arguments which contain merit and actual logical, heartfelt understanding towards the topic at hand.

People from England are British, in the same way people from New York are American.CaptainTrilby said:When people call people from England British instead of English. I hate that.
People (often my friends) making statements about their relationships like "I'm stuck with him/her anyway now", "I can't live without him/her anyway, so I'll just have to deal with it." or "It's not ok, but it is as good as it gets."
This enrages me, because those people could be out there, having constructive relationships with nice people, or with themselves. I don't know why breaking up stopped being an option, but this is not sensible anymore.

Ignorant couples that say they "LOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" each other. Or "Together Forever". Then the couple breaks up and to be a dick I usually say, "Forever didn't last very long did it?" I think I have a right to say that because it's all about sex now. Or at least, at my age it is.
Good thing i'm smarter than your average teenager.

When people add lol to their comments, even when it's not a laughing matter. Same goes for 
at the end of their comments. I know it's the internet, but when I see this, it annoys the eff out of me. It makes me wonder are they really smiling behind their screens or are they doing that just to be as random as hell?
And in real life, I hate when people say the "N" word. As a black American myself, I use to say that word alot during my junior high year, and as I got older I said it less until I eventually stopped because it makes me feels distasteful whenever I say that word. It's even worse when you have to see it on the internet when something on the news that includes a black person doing something bad.

the "you mad bro?" comeback and people who just dont listen in an argument but dismiss your point with a very piss poor excuese. It happened to me today. I was on steam and I booted up Dungeons and Dragons Daggerdale, and a friend of mine said "NEEEERRRDD" and I replied "Why?" (this is a friend who spends an ungodly amount of his time on team fortress) and he said "You're playing that thing" and I said to him "It's like oblivion, its a fantasy game and you play oblivion," to which he replied "but D&D is gay" and then just kept going "herp derp" whenever I spoke but the moment I said TF2 is just as nerdy he ranted on like hell.
one thing that pisses me off is when people argue over consoles they havent played or games that arent even released
Thats what I was going to say, except that gay bothers me less then a certain word that rhymes with maggot, mainly because people use it with more malcontent and only direct it at people. I get really angry and lose a ton of respect for who ever uses it. I lose even more respect for them when they try to justify themselves by saying everyone else does it.thewaever said:
Whenever someone says that one group of people are better than others for some idiotic reason, I wanna punch them in the face.
And kind of variation on 'you have no life'.
Who gets to decide what counts as having a life, then? Did no one have a life in the Dark Ages, then, as clubbing didn't exist, or do the requirements for a life change over time?
Ultimately, I just see the whole concept as the standard 'think and do as we think and do or you're inferior' rubbish. The problem is that it's so widely supported.
Even here, where we rile against people who say 'gamers have no life', it's widespread. For a start, people reply to such accusations along the lines of 'no I do have a life because I also do x, y, z'. So they aren't refuting the set of arbitrary requirements to have a life, only insisting that they meet them. Look at any MMO thread, especially if it mentions WoW by name - there's always at least one who insists that the game is for 'no lifers'. Then, commenting on a story accusing games of being shut-ins, the same person will insist that the article is rubbish.
