    when my alleged biological father uses the phrase "irregardless" shouldnt it just be regardless? Its a double negative right? or when he says " i need to get a holt of your grandmother i need to talk to her". "get a holt"? really? how about get a hold or get in touch with her.

    OMG im sounding like a nut job right now but I cant take it anymore. STOP SAYING IRREGARDLESS! Ive even said something to him. But apparently its in the dictionary! So Im wrong but I still cant stand it. Its dumb! THere!


    LOL. I can relate. My co-workers fav word is "evidently". I don't know if it his own personal challenge to fit it into as many conversations where it is clearly not required or not but it certainly seems that way :laugh:

    As far as the diet soda, some of you may want to read this:

    My biggest pet peeve: People who are voluntarily uneducated. I don't mean that as a slam to any of you who haven't read the above article, I just mean general education. We live in the age of technology (I searched once and proved that you could learn about Thermo-nuclear physics on YouTube) where you can learn anything on the internet, and during my short stint working at Taco Bell to make a little extra cash for the winter holidays, I worked with a high school kid who thought the Nazis were made up by the company who makes Medal of Honor. /shakes head/

    Foogling.

    Facebook googling.

    Case in point: When Randy Savage passed, my brother in law made a post about him. Someone commented "Ohhh yeeeah!" referencing the Slim Jim commercials, as we all grew up with our parents watching wrestling and such. Some girl said "YES!!!" to which my husband replied "Way to go, happy about someone's death." and she wants to get snotty and say she didn't know who he was until her friend told her. GOOGLE HIM GOOD LORD. YOU'RE ON THE INTERNET.

    I also dislike the "I hate water" posts. Really? You can't throw some crystal light in there? Some Mio? Fresh lemon? Something? That's just more of a slight irritation. I don't get angry over it or anything, I just kind of go "Really?"

    No. No, I have a bigger pet peeve.

    My husband filed for bankruptcy 3 years ago. Before he filed, he and his ex had a Circuit City card, on which she was the primary, he the secondary because they wouldn't accept him on his own. As part of his bankruptcy, he filed her and Circuit City as a debtor (I just found the paperwork a week ago). But he STILL pays monthly payments towards the card because he told her he would. Now, I'm all for making good on an agreement, as it was all his stuff. But here's the thing, they broke up because she beat him. Are you kidding me? She's lucky I don't hunt her down and shove her bills down her throat. I can't even have it automatically come out, because she still has access to the account so she could theoretically pay the full balance. Obviously that would be some kind of theft or fraud, but until everything would get resolved we would be SOL.

    I don't hate much, but I hate that situation and I certainly hate her.

    i also have a co-worker (bless his heart) but he says kids have to suffer "circumstances" when they make bad decisions. It took me FOREVER to figure out what he meant! CONSEQUENCES! Gotcha! Should I correct him? Nope! You are a 50 year old man. You should know the difference between consequences and circumstances. If you are dumb enough to use the wrong word over and over again then so be it! I get to make fun of you.
