Phrases that drive you crazy

"But at the end of the day..."

ha, i use this too

 

[Lomey]

I'm a 43 year old and use the words "dude, man... to start a sentence around my friends (never in a professional setting) and cringe every time I do. I don't know why I do because it sounds ridiculous. Haha!

 

[streetz166]

"bae"

 

[JuzCallMeDee]

"huh"...i hate seeing and hearing it

 

[GWBowman]

Inappropriate use of "are you kidding". Example:"My mom got run over by a bus and died." "Are you kidding?" "Hell no! That wouldn't be funny."

I could care less, when they mean they could NOT care less.

I heard about a man that would tell people, as they were leaving, to be wreckless. When his wife would fuss his reply was "I figured if being sleepless means you have had no sleep, being wreckless would mean you would have no wrecks."

One that bugs me is when people use an acronym and then say the last word of the acronym after it. Prime examples of this are ATM machine and VIN number. In effect what they're really saying is automated teller machine machine and vehicle identification number number.

Another one that gets to me is when people don't use "to be" when speaking and writing. An example would be something like "the grass needs mowed". Needs mowed? Really? No, the grass needs TO BE mowed.

YES TO THE ACRONYMS. I was on the "MOT" out here in Egypt. That stands for Mobile Observation Team. And I've got people emailing me about MOTT Team, and MOT Team and every time someone spoke to me it was MOT Team. I flipped out on a lieutenant about it hahaha that shit is annoying.



Also hate when people quote movies wrong and then cannot admit that they are wrong. Or when they quote the same line 40x a day.

When referring to oneself in the first person, "i" is capitalized. Also, you used an Oxford comma where you should have thrown in an "and" to complete the list.

Yeah, I'm correcting your grammar correcting post. Take that, Matt.

I googled one for minemen, but Google returned no results. Turns out they haven't been acknowledged by the Navy at large since the whole world realized mines aren't real warfare...

 

[socalsailor]

Besides, everyone knows it isn't gay if you're underway...
