    "Do you have a sec?"

    I'm guessing even if I say "no", you're still not going to go away.

    "Please stop punching me!" really makes me angry.
    Also, I have anger management issues.

    For real, though. When people use "literally", when it's clearly not literal.
    And when people screw up existing words, like "supposubly" instead of "supposedly".
    That grinds my gears.

    Oh - you got a haircut. Then crickets.
    Gee - you look tired. If I am tired, then this comment doesn't help me. If I'm not tired, then I just feel bad.

    "would you _____ with/to the person above you!!!!??!!"

    I think you can imagine why, threads like them are everywhere. Like the damn plague.

    “So I did a thing..” (Big eye roll) 🙄

    “Sorry not sorry”... 🤨

    Ugh. "Sorry not sorry kills me", too.

    Same with finishing a thought with "I'm just saying".
    Or when somebody uses the word "like", 7 or 8 times in every sentence.

    On a related note, when people start their sentence with "Listen,".
    It can be ok if it's used sparingly, and only occasionally.
    But most of the time, it sounds super condescending to me.

    If you’re getting a lot of that maybe it’s because you give the impression of not listening

    LOL! No. It's not related to me. It's people I see in the media.

    If anybody says that to me irl, I start wandering off in the middle of their sentence. Then stop them and say "What was that? I'm sorry, I wasn't listening". :D

    Listen, like actually I literally did a thing and sorry not sorry because life is too short.

    I MUST PRESS ALL THE BUTTONS!

    If you had managed to fit a "supposubly" in there, I would have passed out.

    OK, I had nothing to do with it, but Matt LeBlanc may be dead by pen stabbing. I felt like I was outside myself, but dreamt that it happened. No, I've never been to Manchuria? Why do you ask?

    I didn't used to mind "So I did a thing..." but it's become SO overused and obnoxious. People using it for stuff like voting, a grocery run, or highlights in their hair.

    A few years ago when I first heard it, I didn't mind because it was stuff like a total career change or buying a house.

    “We’re pregnant!”
    - No, one of you is pregnant and the other is simply expecting a baby soon.

    Lol! have heard this a few times.
