Things People Say That Piss You Off

So there isn't a section of Ireland that exists further south from another section? That's like saying "I don't live in DFW?" when one lives in Arlington. (Find a globe. Put your fingernail in the spot between the two dots in Texas marked "Dallas" and "Fort Worth." You're touching Cowboys Stadium, Six Flags Over Texas, and your house/apartment in Arlington.No_Remainders said:
I will tell you about something that pisses me off. A new "Things People Say That Piss You Off" thread almost every day. Seriously, use the search bar, please.
Why is everyone so pissed? The Dark Knight Rises trailer is out!
If anybody else says "3D is actually really good. Stop complaining" one more time, I'm going to punch them so hard that both of their kidneys fly out of their anus!
Also, anybody who uses "loose" instead of "lose" in a sentence on the internet. As in "I'm going to loose the football match." This is the English language you are using! Use it properly!

That's beside the point. The fact of the matter is that no place exists with the name "Southern Ireland", unless of course you live in late 1921/early 1922.funguy2121 said:
The Republic of Ireland is not called Southern Ireland. The sooner people learn this, the sooner I will cease thinking they're idiots.
To be fair, if you're at the southern most pole of Ireland, you are in Southern Ireland.No_Remainders said:
That's because stupid people trying to use it in situations where they shouldn't. /thread is for when a simple question was asked, and answered.J-dog42 said:
People who say 'plox' instead of 'please' makes me want to go on a murderous rampage.
Oh and I also hate it when people say that Twilight Princess is better than Windwaker. 'Cause it's not. It sucks. Badly.

I hate it when I'm having an argument and the other person says: "You do realize..." It pisses me off because they are implying that I'm less intelligent than them, even though the situation is usually completely the opposite. It's especially annoying when I DID mention and/or counter whatever they are expecting me to realize.
I also hate "u mad?" It's a halfhearted attempt at making your ignorant argument seem like trolling and it brings the discussion to a screeching halt.

Is this a turn of phrase that people use that comes from them assuming it's the name since there officially is a Northern Ireland? Is that why it pisses you off?No_Remainders said:
I live in North Central Texas. The city's Arlington, the county is Tarrant, the metropolitan area is Dallas-Fort Worth. There is NO official designation of North Texas or Central Texas or North Central Texas. But this doesn't bother me at all.

You are in "The Republic of Ireland", or perhaps "The Southern part of Ireland", but not "Southern Ireland".
To be in "Southern Ireland", such a place would have to technically exist by that name.
As no such place exists, IT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO BE IN SOUTHERN IRELAND.

People who say "I'm offended" and act like they should have the right to their feelings being not affected by anyone. That simply is not the case. I will speak my mind however I damn well please. If that offends you, then please, go to hell. I'm not telling you that you cannot speak your mind, but I'm saying you cannot demand actions preserve how you feel. Sorry, that's just not how the world works. My right to swing my fist may end at your face, but my right to speak my mind does not end at your feelings. You can choose not to be offended. In short: get over yourself.
I'm not offended by what they say, as I think everyone should have the right to speak their mind. But it does annoy me what they try to do with this.

It pisses me off because it has implications that The Republic of Ireland is still part of the UK, as it hasn't been called Southern Ireland since 1922.funguy2121 said:
It's stupidity and ignorance and I dislike it.
He/She is just a kid he doesn't know better. I hate when people say this because children learn from example and from being told. Kids need to be raised and thought to know better, now i know that kids will do stupid things but it is up to parents to teach them that said stupid thing is stupid and they shouldn't do it again , or they will have to face serious consequences .
Don't you think that 'gay' has a whole other meaning when used in that context. I'm not saying it's right but when someone says 'that's gay' when they mean 'that's stupid' Then they aren't really refrencing homosexual people at all. Gay can also mean 'happy and delightful' also in no relation to homosexuals.(Well unless they are happy and delightful...) I don't see why it is a problem when you look at it that way.thewaever said:
OT: It may sound like nitpicking but what annoys me is when people type 'Heh' instead of hehe.
It just sounds trite and like you are boring them. I find it really rude. If they don't like my joke or whatever, why don't they just say 'I don't think that's funny'.
I've repeatedly had to explain why this one annoys me: "All X are not Y" when it should be "Not all X are Y"
Examples I've heard in mass media:
Some ad: "All diet foods are not created equal"
The Boondocks: "All women are not hos. We're talking twenty, twenty-five percent tops."
If the first example is taken literally, then no two diet foods are equal, and if the second one were true, then there would be no adult female prostitutes, which would deprive the rest of his line of context.
I hear this all the time from people who REALLY should know better (like English teachers) and who look at me blankly when I explain it to them.

Things that annoy:
The N word, C word, B word, L word, H word etc., etc.
Ok, which of the many words which begin with N,C,B,L do you mean?
There are only 26 letters in the English alphabet, so I am pretty sure soon all of them will have to be The word.
People who use asterisks instead of letters:e.g
c**t.
What's so bad about a clot?
This one I only notice with Americans:
Axe instead of ask!!
e.g. "So I wanted to axe him something", or "She axed me my name!
It's ASK, not fucking AXE you retard!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I don't know why, but that last one really annoys me.

Fair enough, It was more of a mistake because I was trying to draw attention to that syllable I wasn't thinking about emphasis. I say aj-ik-tiv as well, but lots of people (at least the people I know, I live in the south but I'm a Yankee) leave out the "ik" sound in exchange for uhMisterM2402 said:(Ah-JECK-tive)... that's quite an odd syllable stress, don't think I've heard anyone say it like that beforemadmsk said:I and everyone I know says [aj-ik-tiv], as shown here: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/adjective
