People that say 3:00AM in the morning drives me nuts-what's yours?

[candy]

The redundancy astonishes me.

Another one is those who say "Far and few between"

Okay,I'm being nitpicky----it's been that kind of a day.

[unblock]

1. people who say, "it's been that kind of a day"

instead of, "it's been that kind of day". the extra "a" changes it entirely.

also, people who say, "people that ...", instead of, "people who ...".

;)

nitpicky is as nitpicky does.

11. Hey,you're entitled,and you're right!

[chaska]

2. Yeah, I know what you mean...

I especially hate it when they say that at 3:00AM in the morning.

4. People who say

NUKULAR instead of NUCLEAR make me ballistic. (Bush sounds like such an idiot every time he says it!)

People (Mother) who answer a question with a question EVERY DAMNED TIME! make me crazy.

Orientated instead of oriented, may not be technically incorrect but still makes me want to scream.

3. "She gave birth to a baby girl"

as opposed to giving birth to an adult girl????:eyes:

5. "He gave birth to a baby girl"...

...pains me to even hear it, I tell ya!

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Or the couples who say "We're pregant"

Well, no, you're (plural) not. She's pregant. You (the male, singular) managed to ejaculate in her. Congratulations on all your hard work - I guess it's only fitting that you henceforth take half-credit for the entire pregancy.

:eyesroll:

[Rabrrrrrr]

6. "Well, that's difficult to say" when people don't know something

It's not difficult to say, jerkwad. It's EASY to say.

It's difficult to KNOW.

Crap head.

7. Women who say "Stop staring at my breasts, pervert."

I mean, you can tell me to stop staring, OR you can call me a pervert. Is it REALLY necessary to say both?

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. Or the women who feel the need to mace you after they call you a pervert

Sheesh, you don't have to do all three things, especially if you've already kneed me in the groin. (before I could retract my equipment) (that joke for Heddi)

Stupid women. I bet I get that five, six times a day. It's so unnecessary.

10. Oh, good!

I thought I was the only one feeling cranky and nitpicky after a long day!

Your peeve about "AM in the morning" is one of mine as well. Is there an AM in the afternoon?

Today, for some reason, the entire grammar spectrum has irritated me. "Me and my friends went to the beach", "I didn't think that payment brang me up to date". "He don't gut no bizness talkin ta me that way". And, though I wouldn't know how to spell it, when people refuse the follow through with words like eight, ate, etc. It comes out something like eigh. Their tongues somehow can't around that T sound!

12. While we're discussing redundancy . . .

. . . "future plans" really irks me.
