No, you don't have a "challenge" for me. You have a problem and are trying to make it mine.

Man if that isn't just empty manager-speak, rephrasing things to BS you and be manipulative. Lol
So many things. In written form, I hate when someone writes "Period." after they make a point to mean "this can't be argued" or whatever. My good bitch, I don't think you understand how arguing works. π
"Full stop" is a close second.
It's a perfectly valid way to win an argument, end of sentence.
Ha serves me right βπ»
i know i'm being a but i despise the term 'taxpayer funds'/'taxpayer money'. besides being completely wrong in nearly all cases, it places taxes above the people, above labor.
'American taxpayer is paying for the genocide in Gaza'. No, every person/entity using U.S. Dollars is paying for it. Even foreign countries are indirectly paying for it.
Using the phrase "serious question" or "honest question" will make me immediately assume your question is the exact opposite of that. Probably I'm overreacting, but expecting that anyone might respect that declaration you've made about your own question, that gives me narcissist vibes.
im still a bit salty about 'literally'
also the constant failure to say 'i could not care less' correctly
Places using "gluten-friendly" to mean "gluten-free". I am gluten-UNfriendly. I do not want gluten. They've tried to be cute and actually managed to make the term mean the opposite of what it's supposed to.
"Irregardless"
It's not a word but '...' ok... thanks... I guess...
What do you want? Is it on our do you want something else? It's fine...
Cmon.................
People using double negatives incorrectly. Like "I didn't do nothing!"
If someone uses the word 'curate' they'd better be preparing to show me a shoebox filled with their favorite vaseline glass and not a pile of random deli meat on a wooden board
Lemme get that shark cootchie board of curated meats
I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a "regular coffee".
Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn't parse "regular coffee" as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply "coffee"!
I honestly don't even know why it annoys me this much.
I'm a waitress and "regular coffee" means different things across regions. Some people mean just "drip, not decaf" with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean "drip, black" with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, "regular" means "2 cream 2 sugar", as in you'd be asked if you wanted your coffee "regular or black". It's the worst.
That latte lady was just crazy though... unless she meant "my regular"?
Ah, the four basic types of coffee, Regular, Posh, Italian and Wrong.
The corporate overenthusiasm "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO".
Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.
Ironically, the phrase "rustles my jimmies" really burns my biscuits.
I had a young coworker who reported to me and a few others, for a few months earlier this year. She would come in and say βthat being said,β¦β all the fucking time. I heard it at least once or twice per brief conversation with her. I think she was just trying to sound smartβ¦ but, it was like nails on a chalk board to me.
People ending sentences with βrnβ.
I'm literally doing that rn
Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.
I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
When people say 'like' constantly between sentences or sentence fragments or before every adjective.
Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.
