to get wound up by a completely harmless phrase?and what phrases/sayings get your goat

[mayorquimby]

i know on the spectrum of tragedies this falls solidly on the unimportant end, but still what is life without trivial annoyances?

the phrase? it'e when people say "i personally..."
i mean why put in the personally? obviously if you preface your statement or belief with "I" it is clear to me that you are about to express your views or personal beliefs.

so what things that people say wind you up?

cheap at half the price is another.
and also the americanisation of "i couldn't care less" to "i could care less" because to me it no longer makes sense.

i'm beginning to think i am doomed to spend a jack dee like existence getting pissed off about tribvial things people do and say which have no bearing on the state of the world and which i could easily ignore and live a happier life.

"do you know what I mean" Of course I do its bloody obvious.

just snorted tea at moist towellette

"at the number one annoying phrase that I hear all the time in Dublin, ah fair play to you!!
"

g'wan luv,don't you worry about that me old segoise (sp).

People that start sentences with, "With respect..." or, "I'm not being funny, but..."

GRRRRRRRR.

completely agree, gymllfixit; in same vein I dislike the rather insulting "does that make sense?" tacked on to the end of the most banal and obvious statements.

"I'll be with you momentarily" - no, you won't; you'll be with me in a moment.

"On a go-forwards basis" grrrrrr

"Can I get" (makes me want to say No you can't "get" but you may "have")
"

what if it's followed by "a whoop whoop"

agree with whoever said anyone describing themselves as bubbly/mad/mental may as well read "boring as fuck, with little redeeming features intellectually but i do like to get drunker than i can handle and laugh at jokes the last of the summer wine would be embarressed by"

oh molly

moist towellette

mmmm

I'm going to drop it into my next conversation

I personally is very very horrible, and trying to explain and defend it is all part of the same -- "yes but for me, for me personally, it's different" DON'T TRY TO DEFEND IT it's shuddersome

also I dislike hygiene product very much

"Rant over" at the end of posts.

No logical reason but I can't abide it.

Mollyroger you just made me LOL.

I hate "LOL" it drives me to distraction. I watched a conversation on my FB the other day about something inconsequential, and every single sentence had an LOL at the end. "Hi Kev, just wondering if your mum was out of hospital yet? lol"

GRRRR. "Two Times" instead of "Twice" makes me shout stuff at the TV (I've noticed it being used on a number of adverts lately)

OMG, you lot are so gonna, like, hate me cos, personally like, I do this stuff, like all the time. I've gotten me a random lingo!...Obviously!

110 %. Or any percentage higher than 100.

Go on then, fool, you've used 100% of your fuel, you'll have ten percent left....

mayor quimby - the term racialist is used a lot where I live and its not tongue in cheeks - it drives me MAD .....

My middle ds says 'chill ya beans' and thats guaranteed to seend me in a rage

my dear old fil calls all vandals and murderers anyone who does ill in society in fact - psychedelics (obviously he means psychotic) that I can live with but God 'elp him if he says'racialist psychedelics'.

Eldest ds says 'what would Jesus do?' thats rage dust as well.

snigger unless strictly maths or economics based and it is explainig growth and is an actual representation.

sportsmen giving 110% for the boys(another one i can't stand) is just impossible. and lets be honest the fact that they can still walk,talk and engage in resperation indicates that they have in fact used up somewhere a great deal under 100% of their energy,somewhere in the 68-75% range, rather than having found a secret pocket of energy which has in fact exceeded the laws of physics.

ba ha ha ha ha ha "what would jesus do?"

I've bitten my tongue when it comes to posting religious stuff because it's not worth the arguements.... but basically anything religious such as "god moves in mysterious ways" and "there are just some things we are not meant to know"

jumps in with a splashtakes deep breath

I HATE...."and whatnot". I.E "I'd like to know how much this is and whatnot". Drives me nuts, can you not think of anything else to say and it's just filler?

Had an ex boss who used to start every (and I mean every) sentence to a colleague with "It's not because you're gay but..." and proceed to discipline him. No, it had nothing to do with his sexuality but clearly it bothered her enough to mention it!

I'd also like to cast another vote for people describing themselves as "crazy". I want to slap them.

And my number one detested phrase. "Yeah yeah". Winds me up no end, when I'm talking to someone and you can see they've switched off, and they're just nodding...so rude!

goes off to grab a glass of wine and chill

i meant to write arguments of course

ba ha ha ha ha a "it's not because you're gay but..." !!!!! That is so funny

grrrr, I had forgotten about "whatnot"

i might start every sentence that way from now on regardless of the persons sexuality. it might make some people really look at themselves.

All of the above.
And "colourways" instead of colour about clothes. That's just odd.

The word funky.

When used in the context of style - "that's a funky pair of shoes" or "here's how to create a funky look for your living room."

I am polite yet irriated by shop staff who come up to me and say "is there anything I can help you with at all" because they don't really want to help me with anything at all. That may include helping me clean my fish tank or do my ironing.
They want to help me chose something or find something to buy- surely.
I did ask once just for clarification and the girl just looked confused

Frisby, that's soooo a PR invention isn't it. Pah!

"snazzy"

"dead-posh"

Oh and the way they use the word 'fierce' on ANTM.
