People that make things plural when they are not.  And mispronouncing words.

 

Examples:

  • Wal-marts
  • Hot Topics
  • Expresso

 

It's like nails on a chalkboard.

People that claim that they really are nice people, they just enjoy annoying others and making other people miserable. Excuse me? But isn't that basically the definition of a bad person? Someone who takes pleasure from others misery.

People that think that they, and they alone, have a higher understanding of the whole universe and life in general and that their theory to everything is undeniable fact and won't listen to a word you say if it doesn't line up with that belief.

People that think they are expert Psychologists and understand the whole human race better than anyone else, then act on this assumption to try and tell you who you are and how you feel about various subjects.

People who think Ad Hominem is a valid form of debating.

In general, people who have no understanding of logic or how to apply it to an argument.

People who don't know the meaning of the word Irony and use it incorrectly all the time, same goes for the words Pristine and Nonplussed.

People who say "Oriented" as "Orientated"

It's orient - ed NOT orient - ated

 

why?... because I did object oriented programming at uni... and only about 3 people ever said it correctly.

Hmm...

 

Liars are up there at the top, but that's more of a trust issue thing. As for just annoying, that'd have to be passive-aggressive people for me. If you want to say something, come right out and say it imo.

That's more of a regional thing though, like herb. SMILEY

When you ask someone an A or B question and they answer it with yes or no.

Initially you might think or well surely when they say yes or no they are referring to the latter part of the question, the B if you will. Ultimately however, this is not so despite what i had hoped and as such this is something that causes me great frustration - ultimately grinding my gears.

People who say "like" every other word.

People who are stuck up.

Celebrity news.
Doesn't matter what kind. From where they had new kids, a car accident to 'zomg, he like was still totally drunk on sunday morning after partying' and 'she gained so much weight it's hardly noticable'.

I despise it all.
