Okay I decided to stop pouting and come back in here and I'm really glad I did. This new ever hart seems like a really sweet girl.

I hate it when people say "Huh?" every time they are spoken to.
People I know, they know better. They say "pardon"" or "excuse me?". When they slip and say "Huh?" I turn to ice. They realize, and say "I'm sorry, what was that?"
Usually if I don't say anything, they answer my question anyway. It isn't like they didn't understand me, it is just their habit to say "Huh?" every time they are spoken to.
I know, I am a bitch. If strangers answer me with "Huh?" I repeat myself but very enunciated, biting off each word like an icicle.

If you spoke to me that way, I'd tell you to fucking relax and ignore your question.

If it is because a person is just so self-centered that the clanging noise in their own head is so fascinating, that they don't care to show the courtesy of listening, then I don't care to be acquainted with them, and it will end with "Huh?"
If someone has a genuine disability or problem with shyness and communication, I am only too happy to be patient and understanding. There are a lot more people of the former description, than the latter.
There are more attractive ways to request a repeat than a stupid ignorant "Huh?".

Yea, see, you don't get to be the judge of everyone's (or anyone's) level of education, psychological state, or any other emotional, physical, or mental status. So get off your damn high horse. Your self-righteousness is far more unbecoming than someone saying "huh?" in my opinion.

lc07 · December 2014

Also, it's not the fact that you dislike people saying "Huh" that is abhorrent, it's your evaluation of who these people are at core and your reaction to them that is gross.

lurkergirl · December 2014

Just throwing it out there that Miss Manners advice for when you don't hear somebody and need to repeat themselves is one word: "What?"

Even she knows people sound like a pompous ass if they say "pardon me" all the time. All I think of when I hear that are the old Grey Poupon commercials.

l9i · December 2014

On a similar note of how you address people, I hate being addressed by anything other than my name. This includes nicknames (I've never gone by nicknames so when people try to make something up or shorten my already short name even more I don't like it) and last name only (Just no). And honestly, I'm still not used to being called Mrs. LastName either. I've never been in a profession or role were anyone addressed me as Ms. or Mrs. so it's uncommon for me and it still feels weird. Even going by Ms. PreviousLastName was weird to me so it's not the name change, just the way of being addressed.

This part probably isn't unpopular but at my company there are big generational differences with a large baby boomer presence and and growing millennial group. This one older guy constantly calles me Kiddo. So I'm sure he think its endearing because I'm young but all I think is that I'm not being taken seriously. I cringe.

Exactly! "I hate it/it annoys me when people say 'huh?' all the time." = Okay, fine. "I hate it/it annoys me when people say 'huh?' all the time, so I act like a rude, uppity bitch when I respond to them." = Not fine.

My mother TOTALLY ruined it for me. "If Rose would've moved her ass over, Jack could've stayed afloat as well and lived. Then it all would've been worth it. But she was a selfish bitch and couldn't move over." ...the romance was dead in my house, folks.

Your mom was right.

I've heard this argument, but I think their combined weight would have been too much and then they would have both died.

Yeah, I heard that myth busters dedicated a whole episode to this and Jack was toast anyway. I just hated that she threw that necklace back into the ocean. Sell it, give it to your kids/grandkids, anything other than than

maeday2 · December 2014

I only liked Titanic because it felt like getting away with something, i.e. titties.

My mom was notorious for darting across the room to cover your eyes and ears when movies got more than PG-13. For some reason, Titanic wasn't policed.

thisismynickname2 · December 2014

Oh hey! I was out of town for a few days and missed the fun.

I am not a parent, and my UO is that I hate strollers. HATE.

1) If you are taking one child into a crowded area, you don't get to hit people's shins with your Hummer-sized monstrosity of overpreparedness. You do not need to take your child's entire bedroom with you on the go. I have some leniency for toddlers who are too heavy to carry and can't exactly navigate crowds either; but then again, your child has no need to be in a Chriskindlemarket aside from seeing Santa, and the booth for that is on the edge of the market, so get out of the center of the gluwein clusterfuck, please.

2) Why does a 10-pound human get to take up the equivalent of five seats on a public bus? Why? Because someone packed the child's entire bedroom on public transportation and refuses to fold up the stroller and stick the child on their lap or, God-forbid, hold he/she in their arms.

This is actually called having ADD. I often have to make people repeate themselves becasue of the clanging in my head. Not because I don't want to listen to them but because I am struggling to focus on them when then 5 million thoughts currently racing through my head, noise around me, and bright colors taking away my attention. I am struggling and I am trying and I'm sorry I say "huh" because I missed something. I am sorry my brain does not work as perfectly as yours does. I worship at the feet of the perfection that is you.

But if you're gonna be a bitch because I say "Huh?" or "hmm?", I don't really want to be friends with you anyways. Because apparently the words that drip from your tongue are such exquisite gold that I should be able to quiet the thoughts in my head and listen to them and I can't and you're going to be a bitch about that. I have better friends who will repeat themselves, who will understand I'm trying, who will get the to goddamn point quickly before they loose me. Because they aren't stuck up little twats who think they're better then me because they don't ever say "huh?".

maeday2 · December 2014

@magicink - You just described my life.

Oddly enough, when I was on medication for my ADD, people would tell me I was more distant and cold. They thought I was rude due to my catatonic-like state.

Therefore, saying "Huh?" is less rude as I can actually keep a conversation going.

This weekend I went out of my way to hold a series of 3 doors for this woman who was absolutely struggling with her huge stroller. Trying to be a general good person and all that blah blah blah.

As she goes by on the last one I look down and can't stop myself from saying outloud "is that a fake baby?!" (It was a fake baby.)

whaaaaaaat??!

I have actually seen people push a small dog around in a stroller in the mall. Wtf.

So I don't post on this board, just lurk sometimes but I'm going to just jump in here if that's OK.

Kind of UO: I love my UGGs. Not because they're cute but because they are so comfy and so warm! I'm not into brand names but I haven't found a similar type of boot that is as comfortable

- I hate the word "kiddo". creeps me out for some reason

- I can't stand adults who are obsessed with Disney. I don't get it.

- in regards to the "huh" issue; it doesn't usually bother me- there is just this one woman at work who whenever someone talks to her she yells "HUH?" in her obnoxious loud voice. I really just don't care for her though.

- I get irrationally irritated when everyone wears red for Christmas or orange for Halloween

Building off the kids with strollers:

I understand that kids don't want to be carried everywhere, but when we're in a busy place: airports, malls etc it is NOT cute to watch your toddler toddle around. Please pick up your child and take them to a more appropriate walking place like the gate area. I do not want to steamroll some poor kid that's just learning how gravity works.

AddieCake · December 2014

@Fran1985 What the actual fuck? You must elaborate. Did she respond?

I only skimmed the thread b/c it was too long by the time I got to it, but I love Rush, Nickelback, and Titanic, so fuck you guys.

For real I'm always looking at them going, for the love of fuck now is not the time for your 16 month old to test out their walking skills. Up, lets get them up before I run into them. It is not their fault they can't walk properly yet, I'm not blaming them. It is your fault you think the middle of the mall the weekend before Christmas is the perfect time to work on walking, you're an adult and do know better, I am blaming you.

VulgarGirl · December 2014

@AddieCake, I to like Nickleback. I crank that shit and sing right along.

kat1114 · December 2014

Nickelback is probably my least favorite band ever. Even Jesus doesn't like them:

I loath Dave Matthews.

I don't like Carrie Underwood.
