    I HATE when people say "Honey" to EVERYONE. OR "sweetie" ESPECIALLY when they don't even know them! I only like to be called "honey" by a select few. My husband, people I REALLY know and like, and old women. :smile:

    My job requires me to speak to men at other companies. I hate when they say "sweetheart" in a business setting. Leave the terms of endearment out of the workplace.

    I really dislike it when a certain co-worker will bring fattening junk into work and ask me if I want any o fit. I turn her offer down with a "No thanks". then she pushes the issues. I again remind her that I am watching my weight. This is what annoys me. She then says "You dont need to, you are thinner than me", Um...... I will not type out my thoughts on that one.

    I, also, agree with the "honey" and sweety" or how about "My Dear" - I can't stand MY DEAR

    Drives me nuts when you have a negative with a positive....What the???? Try a little positive and see what you can spread. Here's mine (a little philosophy from Toni for thought) We all have enough negative in our life, other wise we would not be obsessive and compulsive about food. So, I love food....it comforts, but it does nothing to match the positive encouragement of friends and family. That Don, is my Ice Cream Sunday of life.

    I hate when people say "for all intensive purposes" its INTENTS AND PURPOSES. Dont say things if you dont fully understand the meaning. I have a friend that uses "and so forth" in every sentence as hes telling a story which really irritates me.

    "Muscle weighs more than fat" drives me nuts. It doesn't make sense. Feathers weigh more than bricks if you have enough of them! Muscles are more dense than fat, yes. 5 pounds of muscle is smaller than 5 pounds of fat, yes. Muscle weighs less than fat, well it depends on the quantity. *venting over*
    Quite honestly the one thing that people have said that I can recall being annoyed by and actually griping about to people I know in real life, in recent memory, is when people complain about the "muscle weighs more than fat" thing, haha.

    Because to me it makes total sense ... As no one means that if you have ten pounds of muscle and twenty pounds of fat that somehow the muscle is going to outweigh the fat. Yeah, if you have a thousand pounds of feathers and a hundred pounds of bricks then the feathers outweigh them, but the feathers would be more voluminous than the bricks if the weights were comparable.

    I don't know, I just don't get why it bothers people. "You could potentially weigh the same, but be thinner." That's all it means.

    "Are we having fun yet?"

    I was guilty of this when I was leading a crew framing homes and we had to bust our collective humps to move a steel i-beam by hand or lift a heavy wall, etc.... It's called sarcasm.:noway: :grumble: :laugh:

    Me too. About half of the waitresses at the truckstops I've been to say this stuff. Once I'm a regular and you KNOW me by my first name, that's different.

    Welcome to the south. This took me about a year to get the the point where I would not snap back at the person for calling Honey or Sweetie. I remember one time telling someone "Sweetie? Really I am a kinda a b.i.t.c.h but thanks for thinking otherwise."

    I don't think anyone has mentioned this one yet, but if so, sorry for the repeat.

    People who say, "Ya know" every 2 or 3 sentences OR EVEN EVERY 2-3 WORDS!

    You just told me sooooooo, YES, I KNOW!

    My kids are stuck on saying FAIL in every sentence these days.

    lol That one drives me crazy too and when it's really bad my step son says "epic fail" He also try to use his SAT words a lot nad just sounds silly. But I have to love him for trying.

    When it comes to the phrase "if I can do it you can" I think what they are trying to say is that they thought they couldnt do it either. Until they did it. They are saying its easier then you think (probably another one of the phrases people hate) LOL
