Every time I hear someone say ‘eh’ in a questioning tone or to mean ‘um actually’ I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.

Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.

Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.

How about all y’all?

    I get unreasonably enraged at “am I the only one who”. It’s so arrogant and dismisses all the people who have been expressing the same opinion. Yes, you’re so special and unique, you must be the first person to bring it up.

    I’ve also had it with “literally”. There is no need to use that word unless you are saying something that might be interpreted as figurative and you are clarifying that you mean it literally. “We literally live on the same street”. Is there a figurative meaning to that? Why do you need to specify you mean it literally?

      I came here only to search for this one. And to add some, but that’s later.

      Translates to “I just noticed something and I’m broadcasting that I’m generally inconsiderate without any self awareness” far too often, I agree.
