I hate it when....

MaggieandJake

vendors (or even just people in general) tell you they're going to do something right way and then don't, causing me to look like a crazy OCD person when I have to hunt them down later (like 4 days later!)  to see what happened.  I get that some venders are just really busy, especially during summer wedding season-but then don't tell me you'll do it today, when you really don't have time until next week. 

I also hate it when people interchange the use of the words "borrow/borrowed" and "lend/lent" (espcially when they are an English as a Second Language or ESL teacher). 

Ok, your turn....GO!

my DJ cancels via text message 7 weeks out, because of an issue that came about over a month ago. Like I'm going to find someone for a holiday weekend on this short notice, that can do it for the remarkably low price you gave us 6 months ago.
Wait, I take full responsibility for adjusting my budget to the quoted price, and moving the rest elsewhere, but it still SUCKS.

Speaking of grammar related things.  I hate when I hear someone say "I could care less about...." when really then mean "I couldn't care less about..."  That drives me bonkers.

I also hate driving on the expressway when there are 2 cars going identical speeds right next to each other and I cannot pass.  I have a lead foot.  Please be courteous.

Yes, yes, yes!

I hate when cars pull out in front of me and then drive below the speed limit.

I hate it when people tailgate you, pass you, then go ungodly slowly when I was already going 10 over the speed limit.

I hate waiting for things to happen. I'm a "take control and get it done" type of girl.

I hate when people say "acrosst" instead of "across".  There's no T in across.

The worst is my dad, because he willy nilly uses both of them.  It makes my eye twitch.

Night_Sprite

I hate that my miserly nature is second guessing our car purchase even though we could easily afford it.

<div>Also, CongraDulations instead of ConraTulations. In speach it isn't so bad, but when people write it with a D I lose my mind a little bit. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" /></div>

fustrated instead of FRustrated drives me absolutely crazy!  Or Dint instead of DiDn't.

And to make fun of myself.  Metro Detroiters call a sliding glass door a "doorwall."  Why?  I have absolutely no idea.  We just do...even our window places advertise for doorwalls.  It drives my DH bat shyt.  He flips out every time I say it and corrects me in front of my 6 y/o SD so she doesn't say it too.  LOL

This! I had this happen to me yesterday, but it was 3 lanes! Three cars all traveling the same speed, just pacing along...ugh!

I hate it when people use cliche's wrong. My ex used to say "you cant have your cake and icing too", what a dumbass.

I snorted at doorwall.

MaggieandJake

fustrated...really?  Never heard of that one, thanks goodness too, b/c I don't know what I'd do...I feel like I'm the grammar police at least 10 times a day-in order to keep myself sane, I just mutter the correct wording under my breath. 

Also I'm so sick and tired of hearing people say "I don't got nothing"...

I seriously just LOLed too reading about "doorwalls"

I also hate it when my chinchilla eats the walls. Seriously chinchilla, the house is not a chew toy!

For real.  My best friend in the whole wide world is one of the few people I know who say it.  And I want to punch her in the face EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

raynes

My dad pronounces Home Depot "Home Dep-o".  *punch*

katiewhompus

When I'm feeling silly I say Home Dee pot. Scott rolls his eyes every time.

I cannot say Massachusetts to save my life. It's frustrating.

Night_Sprite

I just heard the fustrated thing for the first time the other day talking to H's brother's fiancee about her wedding dress alterations.  I wanted to correct her, but thought it'd be mean.

I used to work to Home Depot. And a lot of people pronounce it that way. A lot of people would also ask how to spell it.

Night_Sprite

That t is so tricky.  I'm supre people don't pronounce despot correctly either.  Des-po.

In some countries in Europe this is against the law; the left lane is for passing, the right lane is for driving, if you are going faster than traffic, even if you're speeding, you still use the right lane except when going around someone.  In this country it's our "right" to drive however stupidly we want to even if it's in the left lane with the turn signal stuck on and 20 under the speed limit.

A person asks "How are you today?" and the other person responds with, "I'm doing good!"  It's WELL people! I'm doing WELL!

scoetto

J says fustrated. So does his mom. I'm not sure why, but I don't correct him. There are little things he mispronounces but grammar/spelling isn't his thing. It doesn't bother me. There are bigger things in the world to worry about.

SO agreed!  It drives me even more nuts when people say, "I think I did pretty good on my test" or "the meeting went good". 

GOOD is an Adjective-it describes a NOUN such as "he is a good <strong>dog (noun)</strong>"
WELL is an Adverb-It describes a Verb such as in how someone is <strong>doing (verb)
</strong>

katiewhompus

In high school I always was mocked for saying Mounin Dew (Mountain Dew) and Baygul (Bagel). I try to say "Mountain Dew" but it comes out "Mown Ten Dew) and annoys me.

MaggieandJake

and Scoetto you're totally right, there are so many bigger things in the world to worry about than someone's grammar or pronounciation....maybe it's the teacher in me...it's just one of those pet peeves that totally makes me want to pull my hair out!
