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.

Latte. It's milk. If you mean cafe latte, say so.
Moist.
Tasty.
Belly.
Unique, unless it is.
Iconic.
The Man from Majorca (when talking about Nadal), the x-times winning German champion (when talking about Schumacher), any similar shit. THEY HAVE NAMES. USE THEM.

Myself, unless it's correctly used.
Monies, when you mean money.
It should be noted that. Almost always five words that could be cut without leaving any hole whatsoever.

Can I point out that the OP said "phrases which cause irrational rage".

*Caffe latte. Sorry.

shoom

I don't know why but I hate it when people say 'trying for a baby' and I hate being called 'Hun'

I've got to say it, I was trying to keep quiet but I hate the word serviette when used instead of napkin (unless you're speaking French and talking about a towel). If you mean paper napkin then say it.

'Can I get' instead of please may I have. Aarggh!!

"colourway" to mean colour. I bought a coffee machine yesterday which came in a range of colourways, apparently.

And, increasingly, the word "light-hearted". There has to be an algorithm somewhere which can ban it.

'Gin o'clock' or anything similar really winds me up.

Also my sister thinks you say 'high rate' rather than 'irate'

With you on "Can I get", but I've started to hate "may I have" instead of "can I have" (and I do know the former is more polite). It's something to do with the way DH says it. He really makes a big deal of saying MAY I have, like he's trying to emphasise how correct or fucking polite he is or something. I'm going with can I have out of pure irritation.

In a restaurant or cafe, being asked what you would, you say 'i would like' not 'can I get'. Some of my favourite people do this. They really should stop...

Could of, should of, would of... Argh!!!!! NO!!!

It's could have, should have, would have ( abbreviated to 've is fine).

Just drives me insane with irrational rage!

Cross posted with kindred spirits! We should go to a cafe together and order properly!

I'm going to Tescos urgh no you're going to Tesco. Asdas is another.

'i am so wary of this' instead of weary.

It probably says a lot about me that my immediate reaction was "what's wrong with specifying it's horse riding? They could be riding an ostrich"

or a bike. whatever. [skulks off to go live with the ostriches]

Fuck. Sorry.

A friend sells some diet product and regularly advertises it on Facebook as a great way to loose weight.

Someone in a shop hands you your change and says 'thanking you'.

No, it's thank you. Saying thanking you is simply narrating your own life in the third person, and the fact that you haven't actually said thank you means you're narrating it inaccurately

Threads that begin with "Has anyone ever".
Yes! Probably many thousands of people have changed to that career / been to that holiday resort / eaten in that restaurant.
