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

It's so fucking obnoxious.

@Flyinggeese1

Oh and ‘you’re welcome’.

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

Alongside Have a nice day.

@AngryWhompingWillow

OMG! 'No?' Fucks me right off!

'So this is what should happen, no? '

IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, 'are you thick?' 'Educate yourself.' 'You don't sound very bright.' They all annoy me.

AND

'Nobody is my social circle does that.' (When anyone says that, I know they've got no 'social circle.')

AND when someone says 'I went for a walk sans the children. We went to my in-laws sans the dog. Just say 'WITHOUT' you fucking arsehole. Stop trying to make out you're something special by sticking a random French word in where it's not needed!

And yeah 'GO!' is annoying! And 'I'll wait..........!'

Merde, how I hate random foreign words although I found Schleswig Holstein very useful when needing to yell at Spanish taxi-drivers when I lived in that part of the world!

@NoraLuka

Agree with «fixed that for you».

«Weetabix are nicest with cold milk and a bit of sugar.»

«Weetabix are nicest with beans. There, fixed that for you.»

Grr.

I don't think that counts, that one is meant to irritate the people you are replying to.

I cannot abide sorry-not-sorry (sometimes #sorrynotsorry). Totally obnoxious Angry

Sgtmajormummy · 11/08/2021 13:03

“… So shoot me.”

When they know they’re being objectionable.

BrozTito · 11/08/2021 13:06

Too many americanisms-fine when Americans use them, its their dialect but british people adopting them makes me imagine them as toddlers who only watch superhero wank.

AmIDoingThisRight · 11/08/2021 13:07

Mind. Blown.

So, just found out blah, blah, something that everyone does anyway. Mind. Blown.

🤮

LoganRoy · 11/08/2021 14:48

Yes so many Americanisms. British people saying “y’all” makes me want to do violent things.

CalishataFolkart · 11/08/2021 15:10

“Asking for a friend”

Do I hate this habit of asking a question instead of making a statement? Yes.
Am I going to post “Hi there Helen?” from now on whenever a smug sod writes HTH? Also yes.

CalishataFolkart · 11/08/2021 15:12

Let that sink in

@SoupDragon

DS says that the most annoying way to finish a text is with a full stop 🙄 Apparently it is "aggressive"
He is right though. To the younger generation, the use of full stop is quite scary.

It even started when I was a teen. I use full stop when texting older relatives, neighbours, colleagues etc, but with friends, we just never end it with a full stop unless we are fucked off with each other. So "ok" is fine but "ok." is definitely not fine.

InPraiseOfBacchus · 11/08/2021 15:45

When people can't work out a way to finish a sentence, but want to imply that everyone is already set up to agree with them "so... yeah."

Thisismynewname123 · 11/08/2021 15:47

Go! When asking a question on facebook

BrozTito · 11/08/2021 16:37

Oh god yeah 'asking for a friend' is suddenly everywhere and is used nonsensically.

SoupDragon · 11/08/2021 16:41

He is right though. To the younger generation, the use of full stop is quite scary.

And that is why I use it to piss him off :o Sometimes I'll send the full stop separately in its own little text.

God yes

Parking lot, shopping mall, grocery store, y'all, diaper, daycare.

If you're not American it makes you sound daft

Bloodypunkrockers · 11/08/2021 16:55

And having read more posts I agree with pp

Saying you're pissed with/at something makes you sound daft too- unless you're American

Greystray · 11/08/2021 16:59

Most obnoxious way to start a comment - "OK, I'll bite."

Do they not understand how a forum works? You read threads that sound interesting, and then comment if you feel you have something to contribute.

Nobody is waiting with bated breath to see if RedPandaBluePanda (name made up to protect the boring) is going to deign to respond. Either comment or don't, but announcing that you are now going to comment is really annoying.

aerosocks · 11/08/2021 17:06

"... totally dismissive sentence ignoring why you are upset about something and refusing to discuss it, finishing with anyway....as I was saying...."

BeefSupreme · 11/08/2021 17:23

“Period”

It’s bad enough hearing Americans say it, it’s really stupid hearing Brits use it. Period.

ChloeAndRadcliffe · 11/08/2021 17:27

I saw a meme on Facebook the other day that said "Show me a woman who van survive for a month without a man's money... I'll wait", which infuriated me so much I honestly didn't know where to put myself. For that reason, this is currently my number one annoying sentence ender.

Janaih · 11/08/2021 17:35

@CalishataFolkart that's brilliant Grin

WhatWouldKalindaDo · 11/08/2021 18:19

I hate "As you were" at the end of a comment.

Daft meme too. Especially as the vast majority of women I know earn their own money!

@SwimmingOnEggshells

I hate "I need coffee, STAT".

Anyone who says STAT is a complete knobhead.

@CounsellorTroi

What is STAT?

I wondered this too? What is STAT? Confused
