Someone notices I am losing weight and decide that, even though I am having success with how I am doing it, they have a better way (usually involving some fad or extreme diet that they are not having much success with themselves). I mean seriously? I have lost over 59 pounds in a little over six months and you have a better way for me to lose weight? I usually just smile politely and thank them for their advise
YES! Especially when they are not making any progress to lose weight themselves!0 -
And spelling errors in novels. I sent a letter to an editor once because of the novel I was reading, I included a copy with every spelling error and incorrect punctuation in the novel.
Typos here and there don't bother me (as an editor, I know you can't catch everything) but when a small press publishes a book, they really don't edit at all and it can be AWFUL. Really, really, really awful.
Even worse is that all seven Harry Potter books are FULL of grammatical errors. Full of them.0 -
People that use the QUOTE feature in forums!
I use that all the time! Especially to quote people who sayPeople that use the QUOTE feature in forums!

My inner spelling Nazi is going nuts over this whole post.
"irks."
"nerve wracking"
And so on and so forth. Wait, that sentence alone makes no sense.0 -
When people say "the point is mute". Do you have a silencer or remote control handy? It is MOOT not MUTE.0

People who spit in public.
People who make that weird teeth-sucking sound to show disapproval.
People who walk zombie-like down the sidewalk while staring at their mobile phone--usually while typing on it.0 -

Nope, i call it Tomato sauce.0 -
I love this thread.0

Isn't red sauce a tomato based fish or pasta sauce - possibly Italian by extraction if not origin?
We do have brown sauce - often known as Daddy's. But I don't know any 'Brit' who would say red sauce and mean tomato ketchup.0 -
Someone is eating and they make the MOST NERVE WRECKING NOISES....humming, grunting, slurping, and SMACKING. I
JUST WANT TO HOLD THEIR MOUTH SHUT SO THEY CANT MOVE IT.
My best friend does that ALL the time, and it drives me nuts. I don't get it.... and it is really pronounced too, difficult to overlook. I can't even say anything without seeming like a total grump, so I just put up with it, cuz I love her.0 -

Most Brits call it ketchup. Some colloquially call it red sauce because the main other alternative here is brown sauce, which is actually just called brown sauce unless it has a specific brand name (HP is the main one), so some use red and brown. I've never seen brown sauce in the Americas so I'm guessing it's not a thing there.0 -
Oh! Forgot about HP.
Odd as we always say ketchup or brown sauce.... wonder if there is a North South divide?
Probably not :-D0 -

I hate the sound of nails being clipped (especially at work, at their desks - ugh! At least go in the bathroom!!) and when people scrape their teeth on a spoon or fork!!
Also when people brush their teeth at work and then leave all their spit in the sink without rinsing it down. Come on!!0 -

The sound of people filing their nails, especially if they go back and forth. It weakens your nails, they split, and you file again. UUUGHHH!
Also, people who misspell "definitely." It's not "defiantly", it's not "definatly," it is "DEFINITELY." AS IN, OF OR PERTAINING TO A DEFINITE. NOT A DEFIANCE OR WHATEVER THE HELL DEFINATLY COMES FROM. GOODNESS GRACIOUS, WHERE WERE YOU IN SECOND GRADE ENGLISH CLASS?!0 -

I picked up a couple of bad habits from Southern hubby - saying ketchup is probably one of them. But seriously, butter on bacon butties??
You need a good divorce lawyer!0
