Pet peeves that others may find odd.

[ThishittyLimeCat]

I have so many that I think I should be on an island on my own.

1. People on Tipping Point who don't say please.
2. Describing someone eating as she polished off/ he demolished/devoured...
3. Hun overload, you ok Hun, thanks Hun...
4. Ordering food and drink. Can I get? Probably not from there 😫.
5. People who have to compete with your illness. I had glandular fever I was so ill. Well I had glandular fever twice and I nearly died.
6. Two words I want to kill people when I hear them, one starts with t and means dehydration. But they don't just say it once, they keep saying it without getting a drink.

The second means dinner but used by posh people and elderly, starts with a s.

Ooh I think this might a regional thing, I'm in the South West and everybody says it pretty much all the time!

My pet peeve is people who use the word 'literally' when they don't mean 'literally' at all, they mean 'figuratively'

I actually had a conversation where the insurance broker said
Could yourself check the email and send it to back to myself
I think he thought it sounded clever

Yes to "grab" - makes me think of "smash and grab robberies"

It wasn't mean; I haven't made any negative remarks about you or your child's disability. You replied to a poster about your own situation, when their comment clearly didn't include people with disabilities.
If you want to say ODFOD then go for it, you've said it anyway!

Dear God! It's akin to nails on a blackboard!

I wouldn't lower myself.

The previous comment didn't make it clear at all that it didn't include people with disabilities, and my point was that there are other explanations for annoying behaviour, i.e. ASN that are not obvious; so to others my DS may just look like his behaviour is irritating as he appears like a neurotypical teen, but he's not.

Can we all just let people be? I hope your catty comments have made you feel superior.

I became quite guilty of this to the point that I actually started annoying myself and had to train myself out of it 😂.

OP, I agree with most of these - especially “can I get” and people just not saying please and thank you. Manners cost nothing and I feel like they’re truly dying out.

I do quite like the S word and find it quaint. I don’t ever use it, though.

Since when did a waiting list and waiting staff become a wait list and wait staff?

I agree that people who use yourself and myself are doing it to sound intelligent but it has the opposite effect.

‘Mac and cheese’.

No, it’s ’macaroni cheese!’

’Mac and cheese’ could be pasta with cheese melted on it, in theory, instead of a nice creamy, cheesy sauce.

"Weight loss journey". It's a fucking diet, Barbara.

Everything's a journey nowadays and everybody has to have a story.

How did I reach mg 60s successfully with neither? 🙄

Yep. I couldn't give a tiny shit about your 'journey'. Or your 'truth'. Or your fucking 'lived experience.' Trust me, you're not nearly as interesting as you think.

Perhaps a meander through the decades rather than a journey.
TV talent shows ..it's my journey and doing it for my dead (insert relative)
No you're doing it for yourselves.

I can’t stand the word ‘Pudding’, it makes me cringe! It started when I was little and would be invited to a friends house for dinner. The whole family were really overweight and after every evening meal the mum would appear with a huge homemade cake or dessert of some kind and say “time for pudding”. The whole family would make their “ooh” and “ahh” noises when really they should have all been in a diet. The father died of a heart attack as he was morbidity obese and at the funeral there were piles and piles of fatty ‘puddings’.

Vinted sellers who put "selling due to weight loss" 🙄I'm now too thin for these jeans (thanks to my weight loss journey 😉) but you're not!
