    Phrase I'm super tired of hearing: "At the end of the day...."
    Weird food combo I tried and liked: Monterey jack cheese with strawberry jam on toast

    a phrase that always pisses me off is when people ask, "And you are...?" instead of introducing themselves or gving me a chance to introduce myself. I don't see that as a polite way to meet people. (GRRRR!)
    Weird food combo - haven't had this one in years, but - peanut butter and mayonnaise sandwich.
    My mom used to make them when I was a kid. It does sound yucky now.
    UGH! My mother used to make those too, and I hated them. Of course it probably had to do with the fact that what she called mayonnaise was actually Miracle Whip!

    The words "you don't understand" annoy the pants off me.

    Cinnamon Sugar Spam. :laugh:

    I hate "roll with the punches",
    It really just means it's okay for others to mistreat you and that you're not worth the effort it takes to stand up for yourself. That the inconvenience it you cause some else by speaking up for yourself out ranks your own injury.

    "pick your battles"
    is okay, that implies using strategy to reach your own ends.

    "don't rock the boat"
    implies your actions affect others and that the safety of the group is interdependent with your own.

    French Toast with Cream Cheese.
    Once at a business meeting I was on the tail end of the breakfast line... Eggs were gone... There was french toast & syrup, cream cheese but no bagels, there were muffins, and scones and danishes. I knew my brain would be completely useless if I ate too much sugar. So I went for an odd combo of protein and was made fun of, but I held my own in the meeting.

    Guess for me its when I talk to some one and after every sentence they have to say "right". They dont have to comment after every sentence......."right". Makes it seem as if they are mentally challenged or some thing.


    Weird but tasty food combo: Dorritos and Summer sausage.

    That bugs me too. As for Doritos, they go with everything! :happy:

    I hate when people say "i'm in shape....round is a shape." because it is minimizing their true feelings about themselves and their bodies.

    weird food - ummmmm scrambled eggs with cream cheese

    Ridonkulous. I hate that word and automatically hate anyone I hear using it.

    Where did that STUPID word come from anyway? My friend uses it all the time and I want to slap her! That and "Fo' shizzle" and "what's up home skillet?"... It makes me worry for her because she is quite intelligent when she wants to be.

    Weird food combo: I LOVE pickles and cool whip. I tried it as a joke because it was something my foster mom craved when she was pregnant.
  • I hate when people respond with "its ok muscle weighs more than fat"


    yep so agree with you there, that is my biggest peeve, helloooo a pound is always a pound doesn't matter if your weighing bricks or feathers get your equations right people :grumble:

    Raw Mushrooms and SPicey Brown Mustard
    French Fries and Wendy's Frosty
    A teaspoon of cream cheese over a pickle coin with a strip of ham around it - sooo good. i used to eat that before i was vegetarian
    Mozarella Sticks and NOT Red Sauce but Shrimp Sauce
    Pizza and Ranch Dressing
    Frosting on Graham Crackers
    Nutella on Popcorn (my cousin from L.A and I used to stay up all night watching Princess Diaries ((we were like 11 shut up!!)) and we'd have a jar of nutella and a bag of twizzlers and we'd dip the twizzlers in Nutella and eat them. MMMmmmm.. no wonder i was so fat!!) ha ha

    I hate being calleD ma'am. Ugh. It's so condescending. "clearly, I'm younger than you Ma'am."

    My favorite pregnancy craving: potato bread, nutella on one slice, peanut butter on the other, bananas and marshmallows in the middle, grilled in the George Foreman.

    Most annoying phrase is when you apologize to somebody and they look away with raised eyebrows and say "Ya, it's whatever".
    No. It is NOT 'Whatever". -_-

    I don't really have a specific phrase, but anything said with a condescending tone is a NO.

    Weird food combo all day long:
    Curly fries with ketchup, mayo and nacho cheese sauce
    Dill pickles dipped in ranch (fried or not....)
    Hot Dog with dill relish, pickles, mild peppers, nacho cheese sauce and chili

    Of course, I can no longer eat these things ^

    I hate the 'i'm not racist but...' '... grrrrrrrrr!!

    I have heard the most racist things come out of folks mouths right after they said "I'm not racist, but..."
    I can remember when I recognize this and I wondered how many times I said this.

    It really made me reexamine my own thoughts, and beliefs and actions.
    Blatant racism you can combat, but subtle racism is far more dangerous.
    I'm not perfect and we ALL pre-judge on some level (if not race, then socio-economic, or political or age or style of dress & grooming or, ummm, weight or a combination), but I TRY remember to re-access and adjust my perceptions frequently.
    & to recognize the difference between reality and social construct.

    Likewise I have heard the most offensive things after "No Offense..."

    When we were looking at ads for homes, we would invariably see some real estate agent had written "eating kitchen" or "walking closet" rather than "eat-in kitchen" or "walk-in closet"... along the same lines, I get a kick out of people trying to sell their "rod iron" (wrought iron) fireplace set.

    Using "then" interchangeably with "than" is another big pet peeve, and seeing professionals not know when to use an apostrophe (its/it's) or how to avoid mixing tenses - especially if they are teachers.

    Best weird food combo: wrap a hot dog in a slice of mostly-cooked bacon. Wrap a slice of cheese around that. Wrap a crescent roll around that. Bake in a toaster oven. Dip in BBQ sauce and chow down. OR Wrap a piece of fake crab with mostly-cooked bacon and bake in a toaster oven. Dip in honey-mustard sauce. Consume.

    You're welcome.

    I don't like text speak abbreviations like "LOL", or "LMAO", or "LMFAO". I understand when actually texting, but I don't think it is appropriate otherwise. That is probably because I often end up having to look them up. (No, not the forementioned ones.)


    A ham sandwich made with cinnamon raisin toast, spicy brown mustard smeared on one slice, apricot preserves smeared on the other.
    Potato chips dipped in ketchup.

    "But you have such a pretty face."
    Thanks for that. I'm glad the rest of me is redeemed by my face.

    And I really, really love pickled beets.

    Another of my favorites "don't take this the wrong way, but..."
    If you know ahead of time that there's a possibility I'm going to be offended by what you say, then maybe you should just consider not saying it! DUH...

    Phrase: "It is what it is" irks me.

    Weird & Tasty: Jello then add some milk.

    I was going to type more but realized I type using some suspect sayings myself and I don't want to push anyone over the edge here.
  • "Does that make sense?" Duh...I do have some sort of intelligence. This phrase annoys me.

    Food: Jalapenos and popcorn.

    I issue permits for a living, and some of them are shoreline protection permits. You'd be amazed how many people can't get "Riprap" right. It's inevitably "rick rack" (which in my dictionary is that wierd squiggly fabric you sew on the edge of something). Or, my favorite "Riff Raff". The application will literally say "Installation of 50 linear feet of riff raff"
    What's that, about 9 and a half undesireable people?

    "Booya" - This could make someone get punched in the face.

    "whatever" - They bug me equally!

    Scrambled eggs with cocktail sauce. I think it's yummy.

    I hate it when people say "NO offense, but . . . ". Seriously? Yea, you do mean to offend me or you would keep your mouth shut or say something nice.

    Food: Triscuits with goat cheese and tuna fish. I thought it would be nasty but it's yummy! Also, Doritos and Bean Dip.

    Annoying phrase, "I'm not racist, but...[racist thing here]" or any variation of that.

    Or when people say "no homo".

    Best food: Cheddar dipped in maple syrup.

    I hate being calleD ma'am. Ugh. It's so condescending. "clearly, I'm younger than you Ma'am."

    I am so opposite
    I AM A MA'AM!

    I HATE being called MISS. Miss always makes me feel like I'm 7 years old and someone is humoring me.
    I've worked hard. I've been on my own since I was 17 and I deserve respect.

    I came up in Catholic School and boys were called "Master" until they were 13 and then they were "Mister"
    I felt the same should apply for girls "Miss" until they are 13 and then "Ma'am" or "Ms."or something after that.
    I feel like your martial status should have no correlations to your "grown-up-ness"

    (When I was little I remembered knowing that "Mr." was an abbreviation for "Mister". And I asked my Mom what "Mrs." How do you spell out "Mrs."? What was that short for? and she said you don't, it just is. So it took me a while, but I looked at it the other day and lightbulb went off in my head. "Mrs." is the POSSESIVE of "Mr." Belonging to Mr. ... oy!)

    When I get called Ma'am, I want to go die in a hole somewhere. Especially when the person using the phrase appears older than I am. (It's a touchy subject for me...)

    When you explain a dilemma to someone hoping for their advice and empathy and they respond with:
    "That sounds like a personal problem"
    Well DUH it's a personal problem. Thanks for completely dismissing me when I've confided in you about my life!

    My sister dips churros in hot sauce.
    I've tried it and it's not so bad.
