How many hear som jerk-off reporter mispronounce a name. They are getting PAID to do that and no one calls them on it. That's bothered me for 40 and more years. As an actor them not learning to pronounce it correctly is an insult. I ask everyone so I get it right.
There are huge areas where people do not understand the difference between "Bring" and "Take". When I was teaching engineering in Lakehurst, New Jersey another engineer would always ask me, "Hey Paul, can you bring me home tonight."
I'd answer, "No Sal, I can't."
He responded, rather indignantly because we lived within a block of each other, "Why not!"
Me, "Because, Sal, we're here together. I can take you home but I'd have to go there first then turn around and come back to get you so I could bring you there." He never got that and he was a very smart guy. Top notch engineer.
Another is when someone asks me a question then says, "That's what I thought." after I answer.

Words that annoy me? Hmmm.
"Awesome." It seems everything is Awesome now days.
"Ditto." A lazy way of agreeing.
"Whatever." A rude valley girl.
"Neither here nor there." Means what exactly? Makes no difference?
If I could speak for my Grandpa it would be "lollygag." Quit,your lollygaging. He hated that.
Oh, and hashtag. #### enough already.

I've just published chapter seven of Undercovers Detective. I would love your feedback on this story. I'm planning on ten chapters at least. If you haven't read one yet, I've included links. I hope you like them.

I so agree with SugarBaby...arse sounds and looks incredibly silly
Hey (name) is a close second...only a real horse's arse would say "Hey" rather than "hi"

Some of my annoyances:
Holland vs the Netherlands
When people say Holland when referring to the Netherlands. I don't blame foreigners (in some languages Holland, or something similar, is the name for the Netherlands), but Dutch people should know better. Holland is only a small part of the Netherlands and consists of only 2 of the 12 provinces: Noord-Holland (North Holland) and Zuid-Holland (South Holland). It's where cities like Amsterdam (NH), Rotterdam (ZH) and The Hague (ZH) are located. So yeah, it's definitely an important part of the country, but far from all of it.
It's I!
When people talk about themselves in third person.
Tiny sweet little wordy thingies
In Dutch we have a 'je'-postfix which turns every noun to which it is appended into a smaller/cuter version of itself. A couple of years ago there was a trend, especially among women, to apply this to almost every noun. Absolutely annoying!
Fortunately that trend has gone for the most part, except when people refer to a female colleague. Then this postfix is still often applied, which is quite sexist.
Oh, silly me. Hihi.
When people belittle themselves (to come across as sweet/cute I guess), by:
- combining the third person with 'je'-postfix when referring to themselves
- referring to their blond hair as an excuse for their ignorance

"I am bored"
just makes me crazy. Surely in this day and age you can find a way to entertain yourself.
"How are you?"
On a work call. You could care less how I am and if I really told you, it would not be professional.

I hate the word "arse"!
If your going to say "ass" say it!
But, in England 'arse' is just our posh way of saying 'ass'! Though 'ass' is becoming quite popular and is overtaking 'arse' in some areas.
I use 'bottom' mostly, the word, that is, not actual bottoms.P.S. Just to clarify, I am totally heterosexual and like ladies bottoms.

WTF?
Whether you use 'arse' or 'ass' , and as with a lot of other words, depends on which country you come from. Neither is right or wrong.

I work in retail so I really hate it when people say "Oh I'm just looking thanks"....You really drove all the way here with the whole family...just to look? Atleast Just tell me you aren't buying so I wont waste my breath or time.
I can't believe the you had the gall to post this!!!!
You wouldn't get the answers you don't like if you didn't ask questions we don't want put to us!!! If we wanted to ask about something then we would!!!
It's a real piss off when you walk in the door and straight away you are pestered by retail idiots. He walks away then there's another on your case then another after you've sent the last one packing. So if we were planning to buy then we'd probably fuck off and buy it off the net just to piss you off!
Leave us be because we probably know more about the product that we're looking to buy than the retail idiot that's pestering you!
I agree with many of the posts already submitted and I'd like to add "That was before my time" by way of explaining why you don't know something, that's unbelievably irritating! What, so you don't know anything that happened before you were born!?!?
A side note on the whole American "ass" vs the British "arse" thing, I am British and use "arse" a lot although some things will only work with the US "ass" version. An example of this was my friend (who is a lot posher than me) who once asked me if I'd seen the latest episode of "Jackarse"! lol

Can I join in on the 'ass' versus 'arse' debate? 'Arse' is the British version, and although I am British, I must admit that I don't particularly like it' It sounds crude, and I would rather use bum, bottom, backside or behind. I was brought up in a non swearing family, (not religious, just that my parents didn't swear), and arse was considered a swear word. Although my language has sadly deteriorated, (helped in no small way by you lot!), I still think of it that way. Now the American version Ass, although to all intents and purposes is the same word, it sounds much less aggressive and at the risk of being condemned as a traitor, I must say I prefer it.

Of course it's cheap at half the price. It's half the price!
Now, cheap at twice the price... there's a bargain.

Surely this is something that every prospective buyer or speculative shopper does? If I have something in mind to buy I will nearly always shop around!
I find it very annoying when a shop assistant pounces on me when I am browsing and then looks disgruntled when I politely say 'I'm just looking, thanks.' If shopkeepers don't want people to look at the goods they are selling why put them on display in the first place!..
