    Phrases that annoy you

    Are there any phrases that just completely annoy you even if they aren't intentionally annoying

    For me it's when I hear phrases like, "A good bf will put his game on pause when you text him" or "Can't you put that game on pause for a minute and come do this?" or "Just put it on pause!"

    Now this wouldn't annoy me is 90% of the games I played and the rest of the world played were still single player games only, but now 90% of the time when im playing a game it's multiplayer (not because I don't play single player games, but I beat the single player aspect of most games really fast, and multiplayer can't really be beat) It especially annoys me when im playing WoW.

    What type of phrases annoy you?

    "Come pick up the house" When it is used to tell me to clean the house. The literal and logical side of me goes nuts, and I feel like screaming "I can't pick up the house because it is set in a heavy foundation and I would probably die trying!"

    Some of these aren't phrases, but you'll get over it.

    - Irregardless - the word you are looking for is regardless
    - me and {insert name} - it should be {insert name} and I
    - pop - I live in the south. Hearing a drink called "pop" is slightly annoying.
    - {silence/lack of response} - The complete lack of a response to something that should get a response is annoying.

    I'm in air traffic control so I'd say for me this phrase annoys the piss out of me.

    "Say again."

    ESPECIALLY after giving a long clearance. "American 1212 five miles from DABON, turn left heading zero three zero, maintain 3000 until established on the localizer, cleared ILS runway three six left approach"

    "Say again"

    Also:

    "I could care less."

    All platitudes annoy me.

    the one that annoys me the most.

    "If you love me."

    That's just emotional manipulation, nothing more.

    1) Load the amount of weight I would deadlift onto the bench
    2) Unrack
    3) Crank out 15 reps
    4) Be ashamed of constantly skipping leg day

    "[X] is overrated."

    "They don't deserve all that money for doing [X]!"

    "I could do [X] better!"

    "Why didn't/don't they just do [X]?"

    "All fat people/addicts/etc. need is more willpower!"

    I could go on and on, seriously.

    "Could of."

    It makes me want to punch people repeatedly in the jejunum.

    Some that have been bothering me lately (both in their frequency and misuse):

    "per se" -- it's cute that you have no idea what you're talking about, but thinking this makes it sound like you do is wrong

    "you know what I mean?" -- usually a veiled way of tricking the listener into agreeing with what was just said

    "so, anyway..." -- usually indicates that the preceding conversation was entirely meaningless
