Annoying things people say ……

[Mike J]

I used to be bad about saying, "you know what I mean." I've pretty much cleaned that one up. It was just insecurity.

I am guilty of using, "it is what it is." at work. It is usually when we are having to find a solution to a problem that we didn't create but we have to correct. A co-worker will complain & I might say that. I guess I should just let them fuss. It doesn't matter the job still has to go in & if we want a job we have to find a way to get done.

I'll bet I heard that one at least ten times on last night's episode of Street Outlaws No Prep Kings. Got real old after about the third one.

I knew I was grown up when I realized nobody really wanted to hear what I had to say so I might as well stop talking.

My father rarely said anything, I don’t know if it was just his nature or something he learned. When he said something it made an impact. He still visits me in my dreams occasionally, and he still doesn’t say anything. Lol.

 

[kodiakken]

I know that!

Then why are you asking me about it?

I honestly haven't heard it much other than on the jobsite & don't use it every day. I don't watch much TV though.

My kids: Dad, can I ask you a question?
Me; You just did.
Kids: Hmm, can I ask you another question?
Me: You just did.

I tell my waiter/waitress "thank you" for bringing the drink re-fill I asked for.

Waiter's response: No problem.

I grate my teeth.

After all, "no problem" actually translates: "If your drink request created a problem for me I wouldn't have brought your drink."

Hmmmm...then why in the H E double hockey stick are you working here?

 

[Johnny-Baseball]

"You, too."

When said, that COULD mean 1. A spy plane. 2. A German submarine. 3. An Irish rock band.

So I always respond, "you also."

Even worse, nearly every radio talk host now responds to any sort of "Thank you" with "You bet." You bet what? It makes no sense at all.

The first one I noticed using this was Stone Phillips on TV back in the '80s or '90s. Somehow it caught on and now everybody is doing it.

I voting Democrat is the worst thing ever !

 

[jimbo1096]

Our weatherperson saying "like I said" " as expected" and "as well' every other sentence.
Every time someone say" you know what I mean' I reply, "no I really don't".

Is that one annoying because so many people say it to you?

 

[mikem2]

Hmm…

Let’s walk that back…

 

[Diabloman]

This thread is annoying

 

[GasGuzzler]

"VIN Number" and "ATM Machine" are annoying.

So is "hot water heater" and "right front headlight/left rear brake light".

"I could care less" makes no sense.

I am a language critic on a volunteer basis so I could keep writing on this topic for days.

You forgot "front quarter panel." Or, for that matter, "rear quarter panel."

 

[Jeepnik]

Hot water heater is correct. There are things called tempered water heaters. The names indicate the general temperature of the water after being heated.

There ARE front and rear quarter panels

So, I guess it takes hot water and heats it? So, what is hot water anyway? What temperature makes it hot? I think you were going for "temperate" water heater.
