Did we recently do a pet peeve post?
About english/grammar, especially?
Because I just realized how often I see people say/type "defiantly" for definitely and it drives.me.batty. BATTY.
Re: Did we recently do a pet peeve post?
I hate it when people confuse "me" and "I".
"She's the same age as me" No. No. No. If you add the verb on to the end of that sentence, does it still make sense?
"She's the same age as me is" Nope. Didn't think so.
"She's the same age as I (am)." TYVM.
I changed my name
So many people I went to high school with did this. And they said "libary". There's another "r" in that word, people.
Eek.
I hear the t on the end of words that should be d a lot down here in Louuuuuusiana.
That drives me a bit nuts as well.
The food is killer! Very good.
When people say I'm 'board'.
Something that isn't English/grammar related is I can't stand smacking and/or eating loudly/with your mouth open.
I hate when people type thru instead of through.
Advice/advise
Loose/lose
"Of coarse..."
Defiantly
Drives. me. crazy.
Photo bomb, yeah!
"I seen it" This is one of the only "Texas" things that drives me up a wall when J says it. I have to correct him all the time. "I seen this movie last night about zombies." "You saw a movie about zombies last night?"
I also HATE when you pay your check at a restaurant and the server asks if you need change back. Yeah, beotch, I do need my change back. You just lost part of your tip. You don't ask if some one needs change. That's rude.
I also HATE when they stick the book in the back of their pants. EW! That is nasty. Your butt germs are now on the book you hand some one their check in. If it's "just the one you write orders in", you are still getting your butt germs on it. Then you grab it and get the butt germs on your hand. I bet a million dollars you didn't wash your hands between the butt germs and getting my drink or bringing me my food. Those are two things that drove me crazy working in restaurants.
Some one the same age as me ( or younger ) schooling me on every decision they ask me about. ( I say this because I am young. I don't mind tips and tidbits from people who have experienced more than I have in life. That's what makes them helpful friends, but if you're on the same page as me, please shut up.)
" You want to have a natural birth out in town? That makes me so nervous for you. When I did it, I was pacing back and forth, and my body couldn't relax until I got the epidural. Make sure you're staying fit. You'll need to be sure your body can handle that."
yes, all great things. You're welcome for giving you and excuse to talk about yourself.
" I think it's stupid for people who are in the Military to have more than two kids. You just can't provide for them like you should want to" - says in a room with various people with 3 or even 4 kids.
"Let me see your ultrasound picture, I don't know, that *could* be a boy... I wouldn't buy anything yet." - No, she's never been to school to be an ultrasound tech.
Then there's making a trip to see some one overseas, with intent to do things, but not calling before you make the flight reservations, calling and telling us you booked a ticket, and you'l be here x date and you want to see stuff.
What do you want to see?? When do you want to go?? Did you know I have a toddler and I'm pregnant, so a plan might work in my favor?
Um. Can we re-name this "Vent"?
Vent away, girl. It's amazing that junk like that comes out of women's mouths on a regular basis.
This!!!
That's common around NW Indiana too. "You'll never guess who I seen!"
