People who chew with their mouth open (food and gum) |
When people "pout" and clam up when they dislike something or somebody instead of talking it out, and even when asked if anything is wrong they say, "Oh, nothing."
When people can't separate their emotional response to an idea from an assessment of its truth or usefulness.
When people aren't clear about what they want but still expect you to know.
When people complain about something and know what they need to do to change it, yet still refuse to do anything.
When people refuse to consider a person's past bad actions and then act surprised and horrified when they get burned.
When people blithely assume that "everybody" shares some characteristic of their own (taste, prejudice, custom, belief, whatever).
When people on boards say that they "don't have time" for proper spelling, whatever that is supposed to mean.
When people slap a label on somebody and subsequently dismiss all of his opinions on that "basis." More generally, when people thoughtlessly deride and insult whole categories of beliefs, music, people, or whatever and act as if all members of those categories are exactly the same as one another.
Willful ignorance. |

Various other forms of grammatical idiocy. |
you forgot ecsetera instead of etcetera, and saying "as far as _____" without following it with "is concerned" |

like when people take too long to say something really short and simple.
example, "HII! how are you doing today?"
me: fine, how can i help you?
them: well this is _____ and i'm calling from Dr. _____'s office. Your client has been treating with us, and his final report is ready and i was just wondering what your fax number is"
:wtf:
i know that sounds silly, but when i'm right in the middle of something or the other lines are holding for me, i really don't need to hear all that other pointless crap. just ask me what the goddamn fax number is and i'll give it to you. |
OMFG same here. i am the receptionist at my job and people will say all this and all they want to do is talk to AP. im thinking to myself "just ask for ap you ign morons!" |

it's vs. its, though not as blatantly moronic.
actually, I know my biggest grammatical one:
This entire fad of putting 's after a word to make it plural. It started with abbreviations, when people thought "DVDs" looked weird, so now they all write "short's," "pencil's," etc. (etcetera). You really look like an illiterate fool when you do it, people. |
