Name a more annoying way to finish a sentence..... I'll wait.

Just when you think ending a statement or sentence with "discuss", along comes "I'll wait."

It's so fucking obnoxious.

I hate ..go!

As in ...

I'm looking for ideas for a dress to wear for a wedding .. go!

As if everyone is sat here waiting eagerly to go and gather ideas for goodness sake.

Yes I hear what your saying but what’s you’re opinion.....

"I'll just leave this here" or "presented without comment"

Or, "why would/wouldn't I?" When someone has just asked if they do something, and lots of people have given plausible reasons why someone might, or why they're worried about doing/not doing whatever it is. Someone simply responding 'why would I?' seems so dismissive of the rest of the thread.

Like.

LadyCatStark · 08/08/2021 20:31

Oh so many of these are annoying but I do think you win with, “I’ll wait”.

I saw a shared post the other day with the Facebook laughing background saying something like, “You think you’re good at English? Name a word that starts with T and ends with T. I’ll wait…”

Well you won’t be waiting very long will you?

@Tiredforfive45

Go!

Like the start of a shite race that nobody asked to participate in.

Best places to eat in Newcastle? Go!

Especially when it starts with 'Hive mind, best places...'

I want to shove them head first into a real hive in a cheap rate version of the shit remake of The Wicker Man until they promise to never mention hives ever, ever again.

SilverOtter · 08/08/2021 20:33

@sofiegiraffe

....no?

As in: "I am right and you are totally wrong, no?"

That's the most annoying one for me 😂

Absolutely gives me the rage does this one!
TheIncredibleBookEatingManchot · 08/08/2021 20:36

...but okay?

PetronellaOsgood · 08/08/2021 20:41

“….no?” Is bad enough but what I really hate is the pretentious “…. Non? You’re not frigging French!!! 😂

LimeSodaTwist · 08/08/2021 20:41

Oh, I’ve remembered another one!

You do you.

E.g. well of course most people like llama racing, but you do you

Justsaying22 · 08/08/2021 20:44

“…Is there a problem with that?” My mum uses this to end a sentence all the time. I have to breathe deeply sometimes, as I know it’s coming.

RevolutionRadio · 08/08/2021 20:48

There was a time every one online was 'just saying'. That annoyed me.

Flippyflops2021 · 08/08/2021 20:51

Sentences that start with “So”
For example:

So, we are now off on our holibobs! Yay

(Added holibobs and Yay in as bonus annoying words)

NameChangeHelpWithBullies · 08/08/2021 20:57

Another one who can't stand 'no...?' I honestly don't know how people can bring themselves to say it.

However, I enjoy and as they are obviously tongue in cheek, no?

NameChangeHelpWithBullies · 08/08/2021 20:58

Also... 'end of'.

NameChangeHelpWithBullies · 08/08/2021 21:00

And I know we are talking endings here, but I absolutely loathe it when people begin a sentence with, 'Look...' People at my work do it all the time and it's always an indication that they are about to say something definitive that shuts a discussion down but is almost certainly based on no knowledge whatsoever.

Agree 10000%
BelterDelta · 08/08/2021 21:34

“Right?”

As in….”That’s the way, right?” or “I believe so, right?” in the tone that says they think we agree with them but they’re wrong!

Confused Errr, no, you’re not right so STFU!

Pantsomime · 08/08/2021 21:37

“By the end of play”- hate that, it’s work not play.
“Does that make sense?” - err no if you think you are talking shite you should just go away thank you!!!

KarmaStar · 08/08/2021 21:47

No ? ...It's the most pretentious,irritating,self important end ever.

Vargas · 08/08/2021 21:49

Another vote for “you do know Blindingly Obvious Fact don’t you?”

Usually in response to a question about confusing Covid rules, where smartarse poster answers ‘you do know we’re in the midst of a global pandemic don’t you?’

Fuck off.

Flyinggeese1 · 08/08/2021 21:56

‘And breath’. Smile

MerylSqueak · 08/08/2021 21:59

For me, @fatJan has it.

ponyexpress22 · 08/08/2021 22:02

The "I'll wait" thing is massively annoying. I see stupid posts on Facebook like "who will go out without makeup.....I'll wait"

I'm tempted to add "what for Christmas".

Flyinggeese1 · 08/08/2021 22:03

Oh and ‘you’re welcome’.

After some inane suggestion usually. Try putting butter on your toast in the morning. You’re welcome!
