Annoying things that people say

This.
And other expressions that are holocaust-related. I just don't like people using these terms lightly. I know there are those that disagree, but I can't stand things like that.

 

I remember one time a person said “I’m a grammar nazi” and one person responded with “As a grammar Jew, I’m deeply offended.” That exchange made me laugh a little since most of us never think about how casual we use the nazi title.

 

Interested point about the word Nazi.

At the Oakland Airport the people in charge of security are harder on the employees (who are badged and had background checks) than with the passengers.

We always call those security people “Port Nazi’s” since the Oakland Airport is run by The Port of Oakland.

Fact is they aren’t anywhere close in behavior to any Nazi. The over-exaggeration is not warranted. And in just about all cases nowadays that word is not warranted when used on people.

As far as worrying about what people say:

God, I’m so focused now on getting my major issues dealt with, I don’t worry about other people’s minor faults.

 

Sounds like a case of the Mondays.

 

"I'll pray over that"/"I'll pray on that"

 

Omg, when I was on jury duty a couple years ago this guy drove me insane. Instead of saying something like "I don't care what he did, whether it was bad or whether it was good" he would say "I don't care what he did, rather it was bad, rather it was good." And he said it SO MUCH. He kept saying "rather this, rather that" over and over and over, and it killed me.

 

Also, I legitimately didn't know until I wrote a book a few years ago that it's "might as well" and not "mind as well." Lol my mom corrected me when I said "mind as well" in my book and I was like wth??

 

Lol! : )

I'll pray under that :b

 

When you trip and fall and some idiot appears and asks you "Did you just fall?"

 

Or worse yet, when you're clearly not okay and someone asks (though I'm guilty of this as well): "Are you okay?"

 

"Yes I'm okay. Could you pass me my left lung? I cannot reach it as my arm is nowhere to be found."

 

Any curse words and critics on others especially behind their backs upset me and grieve the Holy Spirit inside of me. Rudeness is a huge black red flag for me.

 

Great thread SuperFan.

I have lots of these. I am a grammar communist as well(so as to not be confused with the other grammar parties), we believe all people should speak correctly.

Adverbs missing is my top pet peeve.
(Along with correct usage of singular vs plural pronouns lol. Good catch @jarvyjarvison )

“I’m real sorry.” (Should be really)

I’m sure going to make this up to you.” ( Should be surely)

“I’m genuine pissed off right now.” (Should be genuinely)

Also incorrect usage of words that is Eng 1301....

“Irregardless” when they actually , mean : regardless.

My boss says this all the time. I correct him so much now he doesn’t know what the damn word means.

“irregardless of how you feel, you need to do this.” Headslap.

 

I will give one of my favorite ones women use on guys they are not interested in dating
guy- hey lets meet up Friday at 7 at the mall cafeteria
girl - " I don't know you that well"- translation I don't want to meet up with you or know you but I am not just going to come out and say that.
how many times have I had that said to me and heard it said to others oh my makes me laughf just thinking about it. wow

 

You must mean “Missing adverbs are my top pet peeve.”

 

The word "like" used between every other word.

 

I hate the word “proactive”.

 

Totally agree, especially when East Coast women use it, combined with their loud and nasal articulation (sounding like Lois in Family Guy): "Oh my God Susan, you can't seriously like mean what you just said like, just like what I heard yesterday while I was like, walking my dawg"
