When people say___________, it really pisses me off

[katsumoto03]

Literally! I literally lose respect for people who misuse that word. That's how it should be used. I figuratively die a little inside when people don't know how to use a dictionary to learn the definition of the words they use.

I'm sure if we work together we can find that respect in no time!

OT: I can't stand the word "******". I cringe when I hear it, if you say it near me I will call you the fuck out. If you say it to me I will spout off on various tangents and nobody wants that.

"If we were to make homosexuality legal, it would mean people would start campaigning to marry their pets, it would never stop!"

Because pets are totally people and consent to marriage.

ohhhh...I hate this one too

thats the problem, they see homosexuality on the same level as beasiality..when really its not too much of a strech from the "norm"

The pedophilia one is worse. I generally just respond with something along the lines of, "Well we let idiots like you breed, so it's obviously something that's never been strictly enforced." or whatever.

Ubuntu is only for people who don't know how to use Linux

A vocal minority in the Linux community seem to believe this, probably because the OS does attract a lot of newbie users. That doesn't mean that programmers/tinkerers don't use it though.

Who cares what a linux user thinks about you? -_-

"Rediculous" "should of/could of"

Although strangely not "literally".

 

[Wharrgarble]

"Just kidding!/JK" in any internet conversation.

Either stand by what you said, or don't say it at all.

 

[ResonanceSD]

Eye-talian instead of Italian, it hits a very pissed off nerve, not sure why, but I want to smack anyone who says it that way

On that note "Eye-rak" "Packistan" "eye-ran"

Listen to your president, people, he can say all of those without screwing up.

 

[Hamburger_Time]

The phrase "hate on". I'm not "hating on" you, I hate you. You wouldn't say "I'm loving on you" would you? No, you'd say "I love you". Also, "The proof is in the pudding" really pisses me off.

 

[The Mighty Stove]

The word "Meh"... STOP IT, PLEASE. D:

Where the hell did it even come from?

 

[Chunga the Great]

People who use gay as an insult.

So....fucking....immature

Same thing with ******.

EDIT: Oh and strawman. I swear to god it's like all the holier-than-thou assholes on the internet watched that Extra Credits episode and said "What a great way to sound intelligent! I can't wait to feel unique with this word, the definition of which I don't even understand!"

 

[ultrachicken]

Whenever people say "I'm not racist, but..."

Because whatever follows is most certainly going to be racist.

 

[lacktheknack]

That, and when people say "I could care less."

It's couldn't, dammit! Couldn't!

No, I could. I care even less about your pedantic insistence.

OT: Every single damn time someone uses "floccinaucinihilipilifiaction" in the wrong context... or spells it wrong. Seriously, how have people not committed this to memory?!

On a more serious note, pretty much any sentence involving the word "abortion" will leave me foaming.

 

[Racecarlock]

"X is destroying the games industry". Mostly because it's used as yet another pointless jab at the first person shooter genre. Look, hardcore RPG players, I'm sorry you're not being catered to at the moment. But seriously, get the fuck over it. There are many old hardcore RPGS out there, there are many other creative games that you should give a try, you could go outside, play basketball, visit an amusement park, watch some movies. But seriously, this bullshit industry doom talk is just getting grating and annoying. I'm not getting as many sandbox games as I'd like to have, but I don't go around internet forums proclaiming that the whole video gaming industry (which contains at least 3 billion dollar companies) is going to implode because of it.

 

[Pink Gregory]

People apparently get too het up about casual speech for the actual inconvenience it causes.

OT: I can't stand the word "******". I cringe when I hear it, if you say it near me I will call you the fuck out. If you say it to me I will spout off on various tangents and nobody wants that.

I'll not be the first to bring up tasty English meatballs.

(tasty is a misnomer, have never eaten faggots, so don't know)

 

[DkLnBr]

when people use 'literally' wrong. "Awww those puppies are so cute my heart literally melted" If it literally did, then go to the hospital (or more likely, a morgue). But If i hear you use it improperly again then I will LITERALLY strangle you

I prefer "When we gave women the vote we didn't have to give ti to dogs. It doesn't work like that."

 

[Flames66]

One thing that really annoys me it being referred to as a consumer. I am nothing of the sort. I am a person who has hopes, ambitions, plans, loved ones and beliefs, I am not a walking wallet to be persuaded to buy this or that product.

Some other minor grammatical things that get on my tripe are:

@ Putting "of a" in sentences so it sounds clumsy.
--@ "How shitty of a food they are"
@ Then instead of Than

I get really irritated when people state their opinions as fact. For instance, if I'mdiscussing a movie with someone, and they say "That movie was shit." It's something just about everyone does, but it just gets to me. I do my best to say "I think that movie was shit" or "That movie was shit, in my opinion." It's a small thing, but it really bugs me.

This touches on a pet peeve of mine: People saying "that's just your opinion." In 99% of situations, this is a given and need not be said. Same with "this movie is shit." Of course it's their opinion, not stating that it's "IMO" does not make it fact. Or mean people think it's fact, for that matter.

"I personally think atheists are just as annoying as fundamental christians"

It just... keeps coming up...
And it's so retarded.

The false equivalence fallacy. I hate it in all its forms.

"Vote with your wallet"

That phrase annoys me to no end. Mainly because people seem to think that it only goes one way. "Vote with your wallet, don't buy EA games", or any company the person puts in. Sorry it goes both ways. I'm 'voting with my wallet' when I buy that game. Oh, what was that? They are nickle and dimming you, well I'm 'voting with my wallet' and getting those things. You can not tell me that isn't an example of voting with your wallet. After all, by deciding that it is worth it and buying it, isn't that the basic premise of "Vote with your wallet"? If so then it is flawed to the point of not having any meaning.

What annoys me about this is that there's really no way to count a negative vote when "voting with your wallet." Therefore, simply not buying a game does practically nothing.

 

[AnarchistFish]

"I don't want to live on this planet anymore"
"Lost my faith in humanity"
"I hate humanity"

And the many variations of that

 

[FamoFunk]

"I don't want to live on this planet any more"

Then jump of a cliff or something
