"I Die" I just can't stand when people say that. I makes absolutely no sense logically or grammatically and makes me think the person saying it is trying to be cool/pretentious.
Are there phrases that people say that are like nails on a chalk board to you?
"Shut Up!" as a surprised response, or in disbelief of something. I think it's rude and I've never heard anyone successfully pull it off.
One of my co-workers does this:
Me: Ug. So tired today
Her: I am BEYOND tired.
It can be about anything. I'm BEYOND annoyed, I'm BEYOND blah blah.
Really? How do you get beyond tired/annoyed/upset/etc.? I guess most of my annoyance is that she says it to show that I have no idea how much MORE of an emotion or whatever she's feeling. Like my being tired is invalid because she's so much more tired than me. Who does that? Who tries to one-up your tiredness?
The overuse of "like". Can grown adults, like, just spit like their sentences like out without using like filler words? Gahhhh!
ETA: Also when things are "sick" ex. "that's a sick bike you got there bro." It makes me mentally picture objects as about ready to puke instead of being really nice.
@BayStateBride: I'm guilty of that one 
It just comes out!
I'm not a fan of when someone say someone or something is a "hot mess". What exactly IS a hot mess?
I'd say exhausted is beyond tired and furious is beyond annoyed. But yeah, the intent behind it is pretty obnoxious.
Agreed. I sometimes enjoy watching Rachel Zoe, but I don't like the phrase either. She also says "shut the front door" a bit too much.
"No offense but"... I hate that because you know it is offensive!
@2PeasinaPod: Google Images has some startling results if you're really curious. ;-)
@Lemma: I agree, so then why not just use those words? It makes me crazy. haha.
"Irregardless," "reiterate," "beg the question." The first is always incorrect, and the second and third are seldom used correctly.
@piglet_625: I'm in college right now as a senior, about to go to grad school, and it's repulsive and astonishing how many girls in my senior classes still cannot get a sentence out without saying "like" practically every other word. I'm not perfect and I say it too, but I am making a conscious effort to eradicate it from my vocabulary (except for correct usage
).
@.twist.: I use that wording a fair bit, but it's always as an isolated remark, never to one-up somebody. It's more a kind of thing where I'll get home after a long day, flop down on the couch, and say, "I am beyond tired." But if DH and I got home at 3am from a party, and he said, "I'm tired," I would never say, "I'm beyond tired," I'd just say, "Me too."
@piglet_625: LOL...yikes! I knew I shouldn't have done it, but you just made it so tempting!
@Beluga: My boss says irregardless ALL. THE. TIME. Especially when he's animated about something. Drives me crazy!
@Meowkers: I hate "I DIE!" as well. So very much.
@.twist.: I had a former roommate like that - EVERYTHING was a competition to her, good or bad. Once I was lying on the couch very sick, and I groaned and said "My stomach!" quietly. She walked in from the kitchen, said "Your stomach hurts too? Mine is REALLY bad today, AND I have a headache!" She is lucky I was too sick to roll over, because the dagger flying from my eyes might have actually been fatal lol.
@linguo42: I feel like your use of it is totally appropriate. I wouldn't even think twice if you said that to me. But yea, she just doesn't get that. I have often wondered why she feels the need to say it like that rather than just say "me too". Which seems so much more appropriate? LOL. I just have to ignore it or I could go on forever! LOL.
sarahbabs hahaha! It's so frustrating. A simple conversation turns into a competition!
I also use "beyond" sometimes but never to try to one-up anyone. The most common way I use it are to say I am "beyond pissed". It doesn't always make sense to me but it slips out.
I am guilty of calling someone or something a hot mess. I used to watch 'Chelsea Lately' alllll the time before I started going to bed early. I got so used to her using that phrase that I found myself using it. I'm not really a fan though.
To me one of the worst is when people use "mad" to express how great something is. Ex: That movie was mad good. It drives me insane.
@BayStateBride: Ugh, I hate that. I'm always taken aback when someone says "Shut up!" It is really rude.
I sometimes say beyond but 99% of the time it is when someone asks me if I am tired and I will sometimes say "I am beyond tired".
I really hate when people call things (especially food) dank.... Why on earth do people say that? If my burger was unpleasantly moist or wet I would not eat it. And I also hate it when people say things are sick as in awesome or whatever.
@Andrea_917:"Where are you at" drives me crazy!! Do not end a sentence with a preposition!!!
It drives me crazy when people pronounce words incorrectly in general. For example, "ex-specially" and "ex-scaped" really grate on my nerves. Whenever I hear that, I want to tell the speaker ,"There is not an x in that word!"
I think I found my calling as an English teacher.
I find it amusing when people say, "I could care less about..." rather than "I couldn't". If you could care less, it means you DO care about it!
My pet hates are the use of the word 'gay' as in 'I hate action films, they're so gay' and 'facebook rape'. How can someone posting something stupid about you on your facebook page possibly compare in its trauma to actual rape?
I hate it when people say "Really" or "Seriously" after you say something. I always want to say "No I was just saying that to hear myself talk..."
I hate when people use the word "ain't", double negatives...no specific examples are coming to mind right now, but I know there are certain things my FI says that irritate me.
Oh, I have a friend, who, instead of saying "Lo and behold", says "long behold." And she says it A LOT.
I LOVE describing things as hot messes -haha! I just think it's such a funny phrase.
I hate when people drag in a "by the way" after they way something though. Like "I told you not to do that, by the way". Just say what you want to say, don't add that condescending phrase after it!
@Miss Olive: ME. TOO.
@Meowkers: I hate "I die" too. I've never understood it. I really don't use any of these phrases.
I hate the phrase "shoot me now" or "I could kill myself"
@Meowkers: LMAO! I HATE when people say, "I die!" I thought I was the only one, though.
@MrsWilson2012: I couldn't agree more. An acquaintance of mine recently started a conversation with me by saying, "Not to be completely rude but ..."
I guess she thinks prefacing the conversation with that phrase makes it OK to be a snarky jerk. The nerve of some people!
"Yet" ugh... My DH drives me nuts he says Yet after EVERYTHING! Like "we gotta go there yet" Just quit saying Yet!
And his Mom uses "its like" before everything she says.... she will tell a story and say what someone says and then say "its like....." and "its like...." QUIT! LoL
"I could care less."
umm...that means that you COULD care less, so you really do care to some degree!
ETA: (oops, someone got to it before me...)
I hate the phrase "What's Up?"
Especially when someone calls me and that's the first thing they say. I'm always like "You called me - what's up with you??"
@moderndaisy: Haha, I hate when people say that too!
I hate when people don't spell things correctly more than sayings.
@cyndistar3: Oh. My. Goodness. You just pointed out one of the most obnoxious, annoying new things that I HATE. Dank. "That food was dank." Umm, SHUT THE F*CK UP! Lol, it gets under my skin soo bad.
Another thing that drives me crazy is my FSIL always says, "Riiight?" After someone says something she agrees with. She says it probably 20 times in five minutes when she's talking to someone. Example:
FMIL: It is so cold outside today!
FSIL: Riiiiight?
FMIL: This food is so delicious.
FSIL: Riiiiiight?
She says it like some stoner kid. It's really annoying.
I'm really annoyed with "amazeballs" right now. It seems like smart people I actually like are even saying it and it's so stupid.
This is new, but since I teach high school I hear it. "You jelly?" jelly=jealous. Ugh.
I'm also starting to hate, "Not to be rude but..." or "No disrespect meant..." I'm anticipitation that what follows will be rude and disrespectful. LOL
