Little things you can't ignore

"Lubbock" pronounced as if the second vowel is an "i."
"Impact" used as a verb.
People who do that weird lip smack thing at the end of every sentence when they speak.
Every time Mary-Louise Parker talks, her nose wiggles.

 

But she's got a cute wiggle.

Broadcasters who speak in the passive voice (nearly all of them) or use "would" instead of past tense when describing something that happened (too many). Grrrr.

 

Every time I watch a movie, I go to iMdb on the web and look at all the interesting facts about the making of the film, along with mistakes and sometimes quotes. Then, the next time I watch the movie, I annoy the hell out of my wife by pointing these things out before they happen.

Aside from that, for some weird reason, I get annoyed when other people break driving laws, even if they don't affect me. People who don't signal, throw their butts (or anything else) out the window. ... Driving in the fast lane on the other side of a divided highway — drives me nuts. Forcing me to get in the slow lane to pass your stupid fucking ass and I go batshit insane.

 

Oh, and ridiculous logic in television programs and commercials.

I've broken down and cuddled up with my wife now and then to watch her stupid "Big Bang Theory" (I hate that fucking show with a passion). How the hell can these scientists be so poor that they not only have to room up together in dinky apartments, but refuse to move when the damn elevator has been broken for — how many years now?

 

People who laugh out loud at their own jokes. Seth Rogen, especially.

 

Trump's hands

 

Or how people "speak out" according to TV news reports.

 

Olympic division: Anytime I hear a "new world record" has been set.

 

On Mary Louise Parker: I have a friend who calls her "Lockjaw" because of the way she talks. Frankly, I don't mind that or her nose-wiggle. Wouldn't even mind the crackers in bed.

 

'Reach out to' or 'reached out to'
I am so sick of this. 'We reached out to citizens...'
'I reached out to her to offer assistance ...'
'He reached out to local people asking for their support'

Nobody calls or emails, they only reach out now.
Only.

 

People saying "no worries"
