people who T Y P E R E A L L Y H E A V Y as if there fingers are made of steel!
This drives me insane!! Almost where I want to scream or hit the person over the head with the keyboard!! Plus all the grammar issues, it's really not that difficult to know the difference between to and too!!???!!
All the posts are so funny and so true!0 -
People that say:
arksed instead of asked,
nucular instead of nuclear,
again lookie how they are spelled 0 -
Most of mine are grammar related, so I'll try to make it quick.
1. Apostrophe abuse. Just because a word is plural doesn't mean you need to put an apostrophe in it. In fact, I can't think of a single instance, unless you're replacing a letter.
2. Whose and who's. Even proofreaders seem to have issues with these two.
Before I do this and deal with the backlash, let me just say that I love the English. They have been more welcoming to me than I deserve and I'm grateful for that. That being said, 3. Use of I in the objective. Look it up. I get so much crap for the fact that I supposedly don't speak proper English because I'm American, but most English people I know do this! It drives me nuts. These are the same people who say "Like, innit bruv?" Am I still the one who doesn't speak English? At least I know the difference between accept and except, you're and your, there, their, and they're, etc..
4. Sodium being measured in grams in the UK, or in milligrams elsewhere. I wish we could get that together because I am constantly having to correct foods in the database. I'm sure my sodium is still off.
5. People who tell me all I need to do is stop eating bread and potatoes and I'll lose weight. My mother-in-law really thinks I can eat ice cream every day and lose as long as I don't eat bread.
6. People who think I'm rude for turning down that fifth piece of cake just because they made it. Sorry, but I've seen how many calories and grams of fat that piece of delicious naughtiness contains. I am finally starting to feel hip bones and your dessert isn't coming anywhere near them.
P.S. If I have any typos or grammatical errors in here, well, that's just karma, innit bruv?

LOL! It's funny because it is true
I've been told the same thing 0 -
. . . people who "crack" their gum.
. . . men who don't remove their hats during the playing of the national anthem.
. . . people who must think nobody can see them as they pick their nose while driving -- YUCK!0 -
...people who type in all caps. QUIT YELLING AT ME!!!
...my friend who thinks she knows everything especially about being a mom, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr0 -
I've gotta say... one of my biggest pet peeves is when you're on a lunch date with a friend and they spend practically the entire time on their cell phone either texting or talking to someone else. Come on, really?0

My friend does that with her husband, this is also the same friend that thinks she knows everything (see above). They literally text each other 24/7; but when I call her and need something, she never answers! She also did it the whole time at my shower when I was opening gifts!0 -

people who say "irregardless" that's NOT a word people!!!! It's just "regardless"
people who say "supposably" um what?? the word is supposed, there for I think you mean Supposedly???
( I realize that this is possibly an allowed word in the US??? not sure... but in proper English - British, and therefore here in Canada, there is no such thing lol)
GRRRRRRRRRR
LOL i am such a word freak but these two just grate my *kitten*!
oh and people who drive slow in the fast lane...
Lordy I could go on and on..
oh one more... people who feel the need to shove by you at the (bar, grocerystore, etc)... umm simply saying excuse me usually works you don't have to elbow me.... and on the flip side... people who don't move when you say excuse me... umm Excuse me... um EXCUSE ME!!!
oh I feel a bit better now lol
No, 'supposably' is definitly not an allowed word in the US. I am from the US and it bothers me just as much.
Things that annoy me:
1. My boyfriend's mother says she is going to the "VietMANese" store. Really? I am pretty sure the country is Vietnam = Vietnamese. It drives me more insane then it probably should. I try to correct her by saying things like "What are you going to buy at the VietNAMese store?" However, she still says it wrong. :ohwell:
2. People that spell my name "July"... my name is "Julie"... July is a month, thank you. :devil:0 -

I'm sure that ^ is a gross exaggeration. However, you just aren't that important. The person on the other end held more value thus your time was disregarded.
If you are in the middle of an important conversation are you going to drop your call while at a cash register? Or are you going to multi-task and take care of both at the same time? Lot's of people would drop the call, yes. Other's are going to continue that call because the cash register clerk is there to take my money and not carry on a conversation with me. Point being: if you are on a call while at a cash register; the persons time is more valuable to you than socializing with the clerk.
Is it rude that I didn't end my call so you could look at me and say $52.98 please? Hell no. It's rude to expect someone must drop everything to hear "cash or credit"?
It's a fast world and people live fast lives. There is not enough time in the day to accomplish everything so we are forced into multi-tasking while being anti-social in the real world so we can be social on the internet where it is convenient.0 -

Maybe if I knew her personally it would be harsh but I don't. I only speak logic and truth with some assumptions I between. No I'll will intended.0 -

I have actually really enjoyed many of your posts so I don't intend to push your buttons. With that said, do you have to personally know somebody in order to be harsh? Specifically the statement "you just aren't that important", do you truly think that may not come across as harsh?
Now this is extreme of course compared to this situation, however, recently people urged somebody to comit suicide on the internet and he actually did it, do you think their statements were not harsh, just because they did not personally know the person? Truly I am asking with respect, just wanting clarification, I'm not trying to "pick a fight with you" or anything of that nature. Just wondering. 0 -

In the context of my post, absolutely, you do need to truly know someone for my reply to be harsh. It was a logical assumption based on the facts available. "I" am not telling her she is not important because I have nothing to gauge her value to me. Logically, to me, if someone is going to disregard your limited lunch time by talking on the phone; the person on the other end held more value. Thus, she just isn't that important to the person she was having lunch with.
Hopefully it is an eye opener rather than taken as my disrespect.
I am always open to constructive conversation:) and I respect that you were able to keep your reply constructive

when people talk as loud as they can on a cell phone, then look at you as if you are listening in on their conversation,:noway:0

I am sorry, but i have to interject, not to pick a fight either, but some people really have no couth. It probably has nothing to do with her value of that person, just her Mama didn't raise her right which seems to be the reason we are on here complaining about irritating people in the first place. That being said, it is very rude. There are days when i feel like people just merely go through life on their cell phones without any interaction at all with the outside world like cellular zombies or something close to a seed pod people takeover. Whatever happened to people that used to speak to one another or show a kindness to a stranger or even give a kind word? People have become so wrapped up in themselves and technology, they wouldn't know what to do without it. We used to navigate by the stars, have meaningful conversations, cordial invites and romantic letters via well written note, sweet gestures and respect to the passerby, regardless whether you knew them or not. There is a serious feeling of disconnect today with people in general. I agree life is busy, but look around you people. There is a great big beautiful world full of diverse and interesting people that you miss as you are chatting on your bluetooth about nothing important such as what color underwear to purchase. It's a cryin' shame that so many are so self absorbed to enjoy it and perhaps enhance their lives or the lives of other as God intended. God forbid we ever lose that technology due to some disaster or people will be talking to themselves just to stave off the withdrawal symptoms. That is my pet peeve, i suppose. I am not anti technology either but Geez!!!!!0 -

The world continues to change with every generation. What you so deeply hate is the future and this is just merely a minute sample of what is to come. Get with the times brah. Or be that old man telling the little whipper snappers to get off his lawn.
"Back in my day..." You hear that a lot from the old timers lost in the new world. Your day was fine but today is now. Live with it or get trampled by it. I for one will never be "that guy". I will continue to evolve with the times; until I am forced out of this world.0 -

I don't hate the future and i am only 34 and female. I hate the present situation of how people are so self absorbed and only seem to care for themselves. People don't talk anymore. Do you not see it? I think it is sad. Can I not, have an opinion and share my pet peeve? The whole post was not to you personally, only the part about the girl on the phone. As i said also, I am not anti technology, I am just anti rudeness. I suppose if everyone starts farting in restraunts to pass the time I should fart right along, to move with the times, bowels in unison? There are times when people are rude about cell phone use, such as not turning it off during church or for a public speaker and you ruin everyone else's chances of hearing what is being said. I am not saying people shouldn't talk on cell phones but that there is a time and place. I am not ignorant and do realize their value and that many people use them for other things other than meaningless chit chat 24-7 but when you have two people at a dinner party texting side by side to each other , I find that rude or when you have to ask the guy on the phone for something 5 times like a preschooler, I find that rude. Or you have to wait at the store because the guy in front of you has to be asked 5 times debit or credit, I find that rude. I have moved with the times, but do hold onto my values of treating people as i would like to be treated. And if that's the future should i just crap all over everyone else just because there are more jerks in this day and age than not? Boy, we may as well throw in the towel right now. Not trying to argue but to clarify. I am not attacking you by any means, just saying what gets under my skin.0 -
People who chew with their mouth open haha people who drive suppppppperrrr slow 0

People don't talk anymore. Do you not see it?
Nope, don't see it. I have more communication with current/past friends, random people, and family than I ever have because of technology.0 -
It's an ego thing.
People who have sad little lives and can't see the real picture need these mobile phones surgically implanted to their earholes to say to the world "look at me, I must be very important because someone wants to speak to me on the phone and I can't possibly converse with you in the real world because of my social inadequecies."
This particularly applies to men with TINY reproductive organs . . .0 -
