You ok hon?

Especially when it follows an attention seeking online post and is answered with ‘I’ll pm you hun xxxxxx’

I also hate it when people add kisses to online comments e.g. adding an opinion to a news article followed by xx. Why? Who do you love? Just say your opinion for goodness sake!

An ex of mine used to say "Wait rose". Used to make me rage!

Letting sentences tail off into nothing by tacking on a weak little "so..." and "or..." at the end. Have the conviction to finish your thought for christ's sake, you ineffectual irritant!

Lena Dunham's character in Girls was a serial offender.

Get a grip.
Get a life.
Grow up.

Especially when used towards people who disagree with your viewpoint.

@Marsis

Aloud when they mean allowed. ‘Thankyou’ so many people do this one even my phone knows it’s wrong so people must put concerted effort into it.
So pleased I am not alone here.. My old manager used this in a notice on the front door.. " No Visitors aloud" Angry

EXpresso instead of ESpresso

Too-na instead of Tuna (chu-na)

When people put that they can't 'breath' when it's fucking 'BREATHE'

Oh my days

I don't get where this came from?

HappyDays10101 · 25/12/2020 01:58

People who describes anyone as ‘scum’ always sound really thick to me. No matter what said scum person has actually done, it just sound so tabloidesque.

HappyDays10101 · 25/12/2020 01:59

People who pronounce the l in almond.

Anyone who refers to humans as breeding or breeders eg "don't breed them if you can't feed them!" I heavily judge

ilovetomatoes · 25/12/2020 03:05

Totally agree with “love you to the moon and back”. I know someone who posts pictures on Facebook of her husband and kids with the letters “LYTTMASAB”. Revolting!

AfterSchoolWorry · 25/12/2020 03:13

'touched my heart'

Makes me want to vomit.

I came on to post scumbag, I switch off as soon as anyone uses that.

I also hate got caught pregnant, or anything else stupid to do with getting pregnant.

LO, (little one), even more when people use it when their child is 15.

Ddog/Dcat, just no need.

Females (in place of ‘women’ usually by men) - can’t really explain why but I can feel my blood pressure rise when I see/ hear it!

I have recognised a couple of words/phrases in this thread that I use though, so probably shouldn’t shout too loudly! Blush

RelapsedChocoholic · 25/12/2020 09:55

Strike through fail! Confused

Skipsurvey · 25/12/2020 10:00

calling team members girls

I hate it too! Makes us sound like something from a David Attenborough documentary.
