When people say___________, it really pisses me off

[The Funslinger]

Lots of things, but nothing more than...

"I should of done that"

Really? Should "of"? That's just... It doesn't even... Ugh.

I thought your avatar was a mustache. Which would go with your username.

I'm now sad.

OT: When someone intrudes on your conversation when you're half way through an anecdote (and usually just about to reach the point. The good part) and start talking over you. You try to stop them and they just keep going "let me finish". Normally after a couple of attempts, I let this slide and wait, but I've started a heated argument on this a couple of times.

The most irritating part is no matter how it's resolved, what you were saying loses its timing and impact completely.

 

[Mikeyfell]

Lots of things annoy me.
Like when the first post in one of these threads is about rape so that everything posted after that seems petty by comparison.

I was going to mention people that don't know the distinction between "favorite" and "best"
or people who use the word "funner"
Or people who leave the door to your Minecraft house open so Creepers get in

But now everything I type will be compared to rape victims and I'll come off as a shallow douchebag.

 

[Texas Joker 52]

Just one word really does it to me. "Irregardless..." THAT IS NOT A WORD. Or, it shouldn't be, if it is.

It's the same for me, but with a different word: Loverly. THAT IS NOT A PROPER WORD, AND EVEN IF MIRIAM-WEBSTER RECOGNIZES IT AS SUCH, I REFUSE TO.

I can't stand that 'word'. And if I manage to hear it, I physically cringe and want to break something. The proper word is lovely.

 

[MyNameIsNowNotMyName]

Back in my day, people didn't call things they liked shit. Today the youth screams "that was the shit!" and it sounds stupid every time.

Back when I was a kid, the things we liked were all 'bad' as in "I love The Power Glove, it's so bad." Alright, admittedly I may have been at the tail end of that one.

Same Difference when referring to two similar things.

"Is that an apple?"
"It's a pare."
"Same difference..."

NO! The same difference is that neither apples nor pares are cinder blocks you pricks! Another one that annoys me is when people say they could care less about things they don't care for.

"Hey Tom, you excited for The Expendables 2?!"
"Nah, I could care less."

I take that to mean you care for it. If you couldn't care less than I would know you don't have a single fuck to give about the given subject.

That's how you spell pear? I thought it was pear!
On-Topic Probably the words "Why should I care?" If you don't want to care, then stop talking about it!

 

[MetalDooley]

When people can't distinguish between "your" and "you're".
English is not my primary language, yet we learned that shit in 3rd grade.
Why are there so many native speakers who can't even grasp the most basic shit of their own language?

Probably to do with the fact that English lessons(at least here in Ireland)tend not to focus on grammar since it's pretty much assumed that we know how to speak the language to begin with.That and the fact that people are stupid

OT: "X is the "WORST THING EVER MADE"

This annoys me because it seems that a lot of people these days cannot simply express dislike for something without resorting to hyperbole.Something isn't simply bad it's "horrendous,an abomination,responsible for all the evil in the world"etc.

"I haven't seen/read/played x but here's my opinion anyway"

Two words for you - FUCK OFF

 

[MetalGenocide]

"Don't fix what isn't broken."
All of my hate.
It's called maintenance, for fucks sake.

 

[nuba km]

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.

I hate when people can't tell their opinion of a movie and the quality of a movie apart, I mean my favourite game of all time is borderlands but I can tell that it has so many flaws and is far from every bodies cup of tea, so why can't you tell that the movie you watched not being what you expected doesn't make it shit it just means you don't like it.

as for mine it is when people tell me that their dog wouldn't harm anybody after I tell them I have a phobia of dogs
1. its a phobia it is a IRRATIONAL FEAR.
2. any animal could hurt someone.
3. say that next time you run away from that spider in the kitchen.

 

[SaetonChapelle]

I work in a deli. When people say "I need...". No, you dont NEED anything. You are 300lbs of lard. You need lypo, not ham~

 

[MissGinaKid]

"Fast food isn't REAL food." Or "Dubstep/rap/pop music isn't REAL music."

 

[repeating integers]

"Today's music is all shit."

 

[Broady Brio]

"But Broady, she really likes you."
No she doesn't. You're just taking the piss out of me, you think I'm going to fall for it again?! You've repeated this at least twice and you know what? I actually asked her. She said no. Prove her wrong. Fucking assholes.

Also anything my mum says. She tends to say the obvious. E.g.
"It's raining, you're gonna get wet."

Spoiler: ORLY?!

Well, when I hear arguments like "That movie was shit because I didn't like it", or "Drive was a shit movie because he doesn't drive for part of the movie" (I shit you not, heard that from my friend), my patience for that kind of argument wears thin rather quickly. I can admit when a movie I like isn't all that great. Hell, I'm a fan of the Blade movies, but I'm aware that they are cheesy and not very well done. When people present ridiculous opinions as if they are fact with no evidence (or often with evidence to the contrary), that's when I start to lose my cool about it.

Anyone can present an argument as to why a movie is shit as a fact, as long as they back it up with some support. Claiming "That was awful because I didn't like it" is something else. No, it may not have been awful, you just didn't like it. Now, saying "Deadfall was awful because Nick Cage clearly overacts to the point of absurdity with shoddy directing and a weak script", that is an argument for quality that can be made. If someone doesn't like GoodFellas or the Godfather, if they're going to say "That movie is terrible", they better have an argument backing up a statement like that, or state it as their opinion instead, seeing as there is a lot of evidence to the contrary.

 

[Mister Shield]

"Hey, at least you have a job." Let me tell you something... Lots of people are willingly to do work. Not many are willingly to get the real jobs offered, like picking up the shit of a dog for dog walking.

Also, working as a "public servant" means you deal with shit of all kinds.

 

[DANEgerous]

The older generation people who can't use the internet or other gadgets say "but I think they are moving the technologies too fast".
No you're either slow to learn or can't be bother to learn it. Yes ok I understand that your life is too busy to get a chance to learn about it but people always find a way to learn it despite how fratic their lives can get and being old isn't an excuse.

On this note i will post may father's rage on the issue as it is hilarious, my words are in bold

MOZ-EYE-LA FIREFOX! THAT IS NOT THE INTERNET! THAT IS A VIDEO GAME STOP SLACKING!

But I saved it on MY internet that is what you do not UNDERSTAND! MY INTERNET MINE THE ONE I OWN. what you do not understand is that on one owns an internet... there is only one of them. See here is the file

What do you mean you will print from here? We are in a RESTAURANT!
We have mobile printing dad.
Uh huh BULLSHIT, ima gonna kick your ass when it aint printed out! (
(we go to sleep till he wakes me at 6 A.M.) DANE! DANE! I need that document PRINTED NOW!
did you even look on the printer?
Oh here it is! Never mind thank you!
FUCK! NO I AM SORRY FUCK!
Where are you going?
Back to my apartment so i do not have to deal with this shit. Holiday over

 

[Heronblade]

Anyone suggesting that something is good by default because its made from natural ingredients, or done in nature, or otherwise resembling natural qualities.

The older generation people who can't use the internet or other gadgets say "but I think they are moving the technologies too fast".

Heh, never head that around my household.

Let me put it this way, my father's college thesis was done exclusively in computer code on several thousand of those old paper punch cards they used to feed into the system by stacks. Some kind of program predicting how fire will spread in a room with given material properties if I remember right. His work has required staying up to date on cutting edge business related tech ever since.

 

[Don Savik]

People that tell me to get a life.

Yes, I'm not very social, but at least I have quite a few constructive hobbies, a sense of humor, and am quite intelligent. How is drinking and partying every night a life? How is working my ass off at a shitty retail job and going home to smoke weed a life? How is going to college for a degree in bullshit a life? How is any of it a life?

"life" is a matter of perspective. I may not have much of a social life, but aside from that, mine is probably more meaningful than whatever the fuck you do (directed at the people who say this). Oh you're a doctor of such and such with a wife and family? SPOILER ALERT. You die just like I do, alone and afraid.

"Hey, there are kids starving in Ethiopia, so cheer up!"

This makes me fume. Yes, there are people worse off than me, but how does that make my problems alright? That doesn't solve anything. I'm never going to meet these people (unless I devote my life to charity, which I'm never going to do, and even then it wont solve my problems). Sometimes life sucks, but you're a terrible person if you think that not fixing problems because others have problems is beneficial to the human species. Frankly, these people don't give a shit about your problems whether good or bad, they just don't like to hear you complain because they either A. Find you annoying or B. Don't want to do any work. I got a better phrase. It goes like this.

"There are starving kids in Ethiopia, so lets help you with your problems so we can work together to solve their problems, that way, we're all a little bit happier"

And from someone as cynical as me, a sappy motivational phrase like that from me is rare.

 

[tseroff]

"Atheism is a religion"

Yes, just like how not smoking is an addiction.

In this metaphor, agnosticism would be the equivalent of not smoking. Atheism would be... smoking something else? Vehemently anti-smoking? Oh well. I didn't come up with it.

OT: When people interchange metaphor and analogy when it's not appropriate. (It sometimes is.)

 

[Cyberjester]

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

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

Don't think of it in terms of "relgion" vs "no religion", think of it in their actions. So ram-my-opinion-down-your-throat-you-heathen fundamentalist as opposed to ram-my-opinion-down-your-throat-you-stupid-and-ignorant-person. There was an atheist convention/meeting/thing a while ago, and over half the speakers were comedians who spent the entire time blasting religion. You don't win converts by slagging people off by insulting their intelligence. A modicum of sensitivity noting that a persons entire foundational structure may be based around religion and easing off on the insults would convert the entire world overnight.

So when people say that, they're not saying "atheists are fundamental Christians", it's "The next person to tell me how to think is going to get a half brick to the temple". Not having a go at your example, just noting how it's used. At least that's how I've heard it anyway. YMMV, IANAL, seek legal advice, don't feed before midnight.

Hi welcome to the internet, you must be new here

Translation, yeah you're right about that criticism you just made but I'll just act like a jackass to brush it off.

Translation, yeah you're right about the criticism you just made but people are stupid and cruel and the internet reflects that. You'll soon become very thick skinned, grow a terrible sense of humour, or leave the internet forever to sip chai lattes, watch foreign movies and generally just be happy.

Playing Dota/LoL/Hon and you get that guy who is 0/20/0 who is there just for fun. Who really has fun being a loser... I've never in my life aspired to be a loser at something as much as 50% of the player base of those games. I can just imagine their approach to all things in life.

I've gone badly in some games, but I'm not happy to be losing. I'm just happy I'm still stuck in mid with no help and I'm not 0/10/0. Think of it as the best possible outcome barring quitting. Being there for fun also might mean their skill level is a lot lower then the rest of that particular game and they're not too fussed about dying every now and again. Unless they're in ranked, just let them play. Assuming they're trailer trash idiots is a bit much though :S
