certain phrases which give me the irrational rage. Anyone else?

[NolansEpicDressSense]

'is your husband babysitting?' actually that's not an irrational one. It annoys the fuck out of me.

'I am eating my meal'. No you're not, you're eating your breakfast/dinner/tea/lunch/supper/whatever you want to call it, not your meal.

[bridgetsmum]

Playdate. I really hate that word

And I have a friend who constantly used words in greeting cards and in Facebook that her kids use.
Like "happy burpday" and "falmetines day"
Plus she calls her kids the squiddiewinks or the chizlers!!!!

[HumphreyCobbler]

yy to invites. It is an INVITATION. Invite is a verb.

Prolly is awful too.

Don't see the issue with meal, it is a perfectly normal word.

[HomeIsWhereTheHeartIs]

I've inboxed you. [facebook]

No. You've messaged me. The message is in my inbox.

Perscription (I'm a pharmacist so I get this a lot!). It's a PREscription which was PREscribed.

yy to bought/brought! If you bring it you have brought it, if you buy it you have bought it.

I used to have a t-shirt that said "Never enter your PIN number into an ATM machine as you may contract the HIV virus". It's amazing how many people just could not understand it...

my husband says pacific!!!!!! but he is more like neil from the inbetweeners than neil from the inbetweeners is.

[SoBloodyFrustrated]

Finally others who share my dislike of the word meal! The way it sounds the fact that Facebook is rife with people posting 'lovely meal' fuck off it was dinner, you ate dinner!!!

Also the phrase 'can I get' when ordering something. No fuck off you can't get, you may have!

[bigbarns]

Sorry Hunfriend, I'm afraid it is true.

[scarffiend]

When people say 'obviously' about something you know nothing about. It's not bloody obvious to me! Particularly grating when complaining about a sub standard service which had been provided. 'Well obviously this is how it works and so it's not our fault. Obviously.' Shhhhhhhhhh!!!

[Hotmad]

It annoys me so much that people get the words tactical and tactile mixed up. Eg on big brother one of the girls complained that someone was tactile voting!

[lastonepicked]

'Well, the thing is, is...'

Is. Just is.

[OhGoveUckYourself]

'I'm sat here' - no you are sitting not sat. I sit, I sat, I was sitting. Basic stuff really.
'I'm bored of' - no, you are bored with not of something.
'I'm laying in bed' - are you a chicken? No, so you must be lying in bed not laying.
I think my head has just exploded....

[lifeinthefastlane1]

peoples absolute refusal to use or write the word me, ... and I, I and ... is not always correct and sounds really pretentious when its wrong, also over use of the !!!!!!

[bigbarns]

Another one which just came to me is when getting off a train why do they feel the need to tell you to take your personal belongings with you. What other sort of belongings are there?!

[Joysmum]

Sorry OP, I need to specify whether I'm riding my horse, my bike or my motorbike so I need to be pacific specific.


Ask, isn't pronounced arks
Words ending in 'ing' aren't pronounced 'ink'
'I don't mind', when somebody is arksed asked for a preference and then doesn't agree with the choice others have made

[bigbarns]

"Can I have this for free?" No you bloody can't, you can get it free or for nothing, but not for free.

[lifeinthefastlane1]

however ...and me , me and ... does not bother me at all!!!!!!

[weebarra]

"Going forward" - I once counted the number of times my boss said this in a half hour meeting. 15!!!
Nom/noms - you are 36 and have a degree in philosophy. Please don't.
Should of - just annoying
Quite specific to my part of the world, "yous" for plural "you".

[strongurgetofly]

I fucking hate when people say nom nom nom
Among other things.
I'll try and think of more.

[OhGoveUckYourself]

Oh and I forgot the irritating ' no problem'. You are in a restaurant and order dinner or a drink and the person taking your order replies 'no probblem'. Why, just why?

[SueDoku]

'Pacific'..... Aaargh..!!

'Nucular power' - I cannot tell you how relieved I was when George W gave way to Barack Obama - a man who can pronounce 'nuclear' as it is spelt....

'I goes/he goes' used instead of 'I said/he said' when reporting a conversation

'You're joking me?' -- used by my DC regularly if they think that I'm not being serious

[strongurgetofly]

The pacific thing pisses me off too. As does 'defiantly' instead of 'definitely'. I'm so intolerant of bad spelling. I know someone who posts on Facebook 'huges' when she actually means hugs. When I read that I want to hug her round the neck. With my hands. Really tight.
