When I am in sort of deep conversation with someone and they ask an intimate question, I think about it, trust, and then answer.... no response! Yikes that irks me!!! Ha!

OMG i love pet peeves threads!

a lady at work does this and it's driving me up a friggin wall

anyone says "Thank you" and she says "No....thank YOU"

the first 100 times were bad enough but we are well into the thousands now and it still absolutely grates on me.

she just has to be the center of attention, everything has to always be about her

You remind me of a great suggestion I got. We don't have direct deposit and my boss hands out the paychecks. Obviously, you say "thanks"... My ex told me to say "you're welcome" , which definitely makes more sense... It's not like you get a charity check...

That word alone is enough to make me want to stab pencils in my eyes. How does an intelligent human being use that word and not realize how idiotic they sound? It appears to be a Western thing, since I almost never heard it back East. I've heard doctor's use that word and I find it brings my brain to a screeching halt, so that everything else they say becomes pure gibberish.

The sad thing is that I've mentioned my hatred for this word to a few people from the West, and they all assure me that they never use it and tell me how awful it sounds. What word do you think I hear them say within 20 minutes?? They're in denial!

I'm really bad about saying "guys" to anybody. I'm from socal so maybe it's regional. But like someone else said, I can't stand to hear "yous guys" ok, that's just plain ignorant,lol.

She/he is artsy fartsy...or it's artsy fartsy....

I think that is the most low class way to describe someone who loves the arts.

I like artsy fartsy. It's the best way I know to describe psuedo-intellectual, snobby a$$h*les.

thanks for mentioning this, i totally agree with you. It sounds to me like an insult, like any kind of fine artist or creative artist or one who appreciates them is really just a hobby or in a third grade craft session (not to mention "fart" is contained within it which brings to mind sh*t and things that stink), often said in a condescending manner

like when people say to me, "Oh you do beads," like it's some crap camp project that any idiot could do, and I say, "No, I make jewelry."
