I can't STAND it when I hear someone say 'youse people'! I used to be an usher at a theatre here and before a show (it was a broadway type theatre) we'd have a little meeting and this one supervisor would always say 'okay, when the doors open, I want youse people to....'. Made me NUTS. Shouldn't supervisors have to speak proper english to get hired?
The other thing I can't stand is 'i seen'. Someone mentioned that a few posts above in this thread but it's also really GRATING on my nerves to hear. My ex used to say it and it drove me nuts. 'Yesterday, when I was walking down the street, I seen an old buddy of mine'. 'I seen that movie already.' UGH
.
One last thing. Anyone else who chats or posts on line a lot ever see something funny and think 'LOL' in their heads? I've had to keep myself from verbalizing it many times. It's very weird. My friend and I were shopping and she held up the UGLIEST skirt (i'm talking nasty paisley here) and she asked if I liked it. I came SO close to saying "LOL, that's the ugliest thing I've ever seen" and then realized how retarded I would sound. Anyone else have that problem?
