Off-putting things about people • Page 15

When someone says "in a minute" and they actually mean "a long time."

 

lol that's like when I'm meeting up with my older sis and she says "leaving the house now" and I know that means she's still looking for her phone, gathering her junk, and will prob stop for gas before she actually is on her way.

 

When people type "yeah" as "yah". You're not German. Please stop.

 

Yah, that bugs me too.

I'm sorry. I wanted to be a dickhead.

 

excuse me i'll type it the way i want to oh yah

edit: to be fair i also literally say yah now haha

 

When people shesule instead of schedule.

 

Shed-yule is correct. Not always what I say though

 

That's a better pronunciation. I struggled to spell how it was said that way.

 

I say sked-yule.

 

The correct pronunciation is séd-yu-elle.

It's french.

 

(I kid, lol.)

 

My ex bf had been smoking for like 10 years and would constantly cough and clear his throat. It was one of those things that started off innocuous at first but after we'd been dating a while I wanted to murder him every time I heard it. I could hear him clearing his throat in other rooms too omg or even when he was outside. Now every time I hear someone do it I get super annoyed lol

 

People who let their kids scream bloody murder in stores and people who let their kids use their "outside voice" in stores. Like please tell your child to use their "indoor voice". I can hear you when I shouldn't be.

 

honestly I've encountered a lot of adults who don't know to use their "indoor voice" lol, like how can you not realize there are other people on the train or in the restaurant who don't want to hear your entire conversation

 

I'm so self-conscious all the time, whether it's how loud I'm talking or if I'm anybody's way, so sometimes I can't help but get pissed at people who seem completely oblivious when they do it.

 

Same.

 

Maybe their parents never taught them and this little girls is going to turn in to one of those people

 

People tell me to speak up a lot bc I speak too softly.

 

I speak softly too , weirdly the louder the environment the softer I speak, stupid anxiety

 

I speak softly. Has its pros and cons lol

My old rm was super loud and when she got drunk she'd talk louder cause she'd need to be the loudest in the room until she was yelling and the RA had to come knock on our door and tell her to stfu a lot.

 

I remember one time I was in the computer lab at school and these two guys about two computers over were having conversation, in which I thought was an appropriate level to talk. They weren't bothering me. But I guess it was "too loud" for the guy behind them because he snapped at them, which I thought was inappropriate. I wanted to jump in and say something... One I wanted to tell the guy that got snappy that if he felt that they were being too loud for him, he could tell them nicely. Second, I wanted to tell the guys next to me that I was sorry he snapped at them and it was rude of him to do so and I didn't think they were being loud. If I'm trying to study I'm easily annoyed at loud talkers (and there were a bunch in the library and study building, some a certain group was always loud so I tried to avoid that area)

Edit: and by certain group I mean certain sorority and frat that always sat together

 

Double post. Had a guy get mad and me and a classmate for whispering. Like wtf?

 

My friend talks super loud. It's basically yelling at times. I don't speak up, literally and figuratively, so I don't know how to mention it without seeming rude.

 

It sucks at work bc I take a lot of phone calls and when a critical patient comes in I don't talk loudly enough to get into the group trying to save someone. Now I don't talk. I just elbow my way in haha

 

I wish loud ppl would have some chill tho. The other day my assistant told me that she once told my supervisor that the kids were chewing me up and spitting me out and it made me feel mad and embarrassed. I never once felt that way. I'm assuming she interpreted the situation that way cause I'm quiet and didn't handle it the way she would've (with loudness) and I'm mortified that she told my boss that when I never once felt out of control or stepped over.
