Most annoying things people say

[Kilmoll the Sexy]

Sometimes I wonder if I am a gay man stuck in a woman's body

Well this certainly would explain a lot about why you are with Sylvos!

[Aslanna]

Irregardlesss of your opinion.. You're still wrong!

[Noysyrump]

oh oh oh and when people try to sound all educated and cultured by pronouncing foreign cities in the city's native tongue.

person a: "I spent the summer in Munchen"
me: "you mean Munich, douchebag?"

Sorry babe, I do that too.

[Wulfran]

However, while the preference is to use regardless, irregardless is a valid word so those people who get their undies in a bunch about people using it are a bit irrational.

Irregardless is only becoming valid because people are too stupid not to use it. When a word is wrong, and is used enough, it becomes right. The lexicon being a living thing and such.

It makes no sense as a word. The "Ir" prefix implies negation. Irrational means not rational. Irrespective means not respective. Irregardless should mean not regardless or regard...ful?

Stop using it!

EXACTLY!!! This is one of the most irritating things to me in modern language... right next to the fucking dinosaurs who say that texting/IMs/email is responsible for the death of the language because of the acronyms in use. Its like these people never read a news report dealing with anything to do with the gov't or military (and various corporate and technical publications).

And Cannolizzerd, the reason you don't like sports fans talking in the first person is because the teams you cheer for are all too weak to encourage fans to make an emotional investment!!!

the gloves are off now

[Cotto]

"Ten thousand people cant be wrong!"

Or any amount. No, fuck you, the world is round, we orbit the sun and we're pretty sure we arent the centre of the universe. Lots of people can be VERY fucking wrong!

or the ever present;

"Im not racist...but.."

No, shut your whore mouth, if youre not racist, dont fucking say it whatever the fuck it may be!

[Midnyte_Ragebringer]

When corporate douchebags say they want to "piggyback" off what the last person said.

[Drinsic Darkwood]

I want to hit people that substitute the word "mental" for crazy, stupid, retarded, etc.

"Are you mental?"
"Why, yes, I consider myself cerebral."

Evil naughty dirty Canadian! I will kill you dead sir!

[Sirensa]

"W T F"

Yes, people who actually say the letters rather than just the words. It makes me want to punch them with an English dictionary.

I have to add another one I heard this weekend..

Stooo Foooo

IE - STFU said as a word.

Sylvosism. I swear he does it to annoy me.

[lmnt9]

I believe someone already mentioned - "hella".

I hella hate that word.

And even worse... axe. As in, let me axe you something. For some reason, this really gets to me.

[Winnow]

I believe someone already mentioned - "hella".

I use that sometime in my posts! (but never IRL)

[Lalanae]

When people state the obvious.

I hate that shit too. I'll be sitting on the couch, knitting & watching a movie and Eric comes in and asks "What are you doing?" I hate being asked what I'm doing when it's pretty fucking obvious what I'm doing.

Another thing that annoys me is when people ask you what you are watching when you mention you are watching TV or a movie. Even worse is when someone asks Eric what I'm doing (online or phone) and when he says "watching TV or a movie" they ask him what I'm watching. Why do they need to know? Eric always asks me what I'm watching even though 99% of the time it's nothing he's ever heard of and its not like he's asking because he's interested in watching it. Don't waste my time asking me what I'm watching (or worse what's going on in a movie/show) when you really have no interest in that information.

So yeah, people who ask questions when (1) the answer is obvious (2) the answer means jack shit to them, piss me off. I think people like that talk just to talk.
