supposably
This guy I work with uses the word supposably ALL THE TIME. I think it must be his favorite word. He manages to fit it into conversation at least once every time I have to talk to him. And every time he says it, I just want to scream at him that the word he is trying to say is supposedly. SUPPOSEDLY!!! It makes me irrationally angry.
Lately, he's been alternating back and forth between supposably and supposively. What?! Supposively is really not a word at all. I wonder if he knows that it bothers me, and he's doing it just to fvck with me. No one can seriously think that supposively is a word. He's said it twice already this morning.
What's bothering you today?
Re: supposably
Even more grating, she says "I seen" all the time.

i forgot to bring bottles to pump into today and so i have to pump into my storage bag directly. this is very awkward and i have to constantly worry about not letting the bag slip from my clutching fingers. plus i will essentially waste a bag because normally i collect it all in one big bag, but without the bottles i'm certainly not going to go get the half full one from the refrigerator and drag it up to the pumping room. so two half bags. guh.
but at least it makes it take a lot longer to do!!
(this is probably a really annoying annoyance, for those who hate hearing about breastmilk woes.)
Oh man. "I seen" reaalllyyy grates on me.
I was just verbally accosted by a guy who came into our building to get information on our University's MBA program, which is the office next to our department. So I take him over there, and then 5 minutes later, he comes back and asks me to give him information about all of the MBA programs in Canada. When I said I didn't have that information, he went on a huge rant about how he had his PhD and wasn't stupid and it's not right for us to be secretive and withhold this information, it was readily available anyway and people could find it without us, etc.
Um, listen buddy. We're not being secretive, we just don't spend our time compiling information so as to promote competing programs. It doesn't take a PhD to figure out that that would be bad business. Never mind that I don't work in the MBA office to begin with. I was polite, but I'm sure my smile looked more like a cat pee face by the time he finally left.

There's a guy in my office who says "huh?" after every little thing you say to him. He also doesn't pick up his feet when he walks.
My favorite thing to do when people do that is to ask if they are powered by friction. I'm a dork.
Aw, Mod.

Yes. This.
Nope. And today he's doing the whole "I don't want your dad in a nursing home" thing. Well I don't either but I also don't want to live in Omaha next door to my methaddict brother and sil and my alcohlic brother and his autistic kid while my husband travels 80% for work.

That's sweet but crazy. Even if it were remotely fair to you to have to quit your career to be their caregivers, you are not remotely trained for someone who needs nursing home care. My mom has spent her life training and giving the exact kind of care my grandmother needs and she's still preparing to put her in a nursing home.

Oh no, that's a terrible suggestion from Mr. Mod. I'm sorry you have to deal with this and I hope it all works out.
My hc insurance cost is going up 25% next year - for the family plan of my PPO, I will be paying $8400 for the year. That does not include the $500pps/$1000per family deductible.
There was someone on Buying a Home who used the word "drug" as the past tense of "drag".

Oh Mod, I agree with all the others, that's a kind idea but not a great solution for you or your family.
Oh I probably wasn't clear enough. It's not happening. I am not going to give up my career and go live there.
We may consider moving there at some point, to be closer but I don't honestly think that would happen either. We will invite them to live with us but they will say no.

Oh Mod. I'm sorry. I would have hung up on Mr. Mod too.
Anyone else google this to make sure November is right and they've been sounding like an idiot hick their entire life? Just me?
Okay then.

My mom says fluid funny. Instead of saying floo-id she says flude. Like prude. One syllable. Drives me batty.
My coworker says "Alls I know is..." all. the. time. ALLS ISN'T A WORD.
My complaint is that my stupid husband has zero vision and vetoed me hanging a giant wooden ampersand on the living room wall. I even MSPainted a picture of it for him and he still said no. What a maroon.

I have never been able to do lie/lay/laid right.
Has anyone had the good fortune of hearing the song Fly Like a G6? Well, it's in my head now and it annoys the shiit out of me that he keeps saying 'when sober girls around me, they be ackin' like they drunk'
THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PRONOUNCE ACTING.

At my doctor's appointment this week, a med student did a little pre-checkup interview with me before the doctor came in. He finished our chat with, "Also, feel free to ask Dr. M__ or me---MYSELF---any other questions that come to mind during the rest of the appointment."
I wanted to grab him by his little white coat lapels and yelp, "you're trying to be more formal by saying 'myself,' but it's WRONG here!!!"
The nerve!
