pour example...
i say 'can i get' instead of 'can i have' quite often
and i fucking despise myself for it. i like to think that because of the way i say it, that im not lumped in with the most common users of this phrase who i think tend to be smarmy, middle class, city/banker types, 'oh yar..can i just get a de-caff laff maff traff brap-chino with twisted toffee sticks and half-cut de-fat, soy-plus goat juice'
of course, by using it at all, i am in denial and just as bad as them.
so, anyone do anything similar they hate themselves for?
Does anyone even say 'can I have' anymore?
surely it should be 'may I have' anyway...
true,
very true. the plot thickens
I say 'can I have' or 'may I..'
but then I am a pretentious twat
i had hoped
that there were a hardcore resistance group of 'can i haves' that i could one day be captured by and re-programmed. alas, is this not the case? is the entire world just getting now days?
I do!
I say the word "there" at the end of almost every sentence :(
I also bite one of my knuckles that I skinned once, now it's fucking huge :/
thats quite odd
is the 'there' always out of line with the rest of the scentance? so its just like
'are you gonna have a wank today..there'
'what.where..there?'
'no not there...just anywhere...there'
'what.?'
It's mostly
Can I have that there?
What are you at there?
Are you gonna have a wank there?
I give too much away
I mean, I tell people things about my life that they really didn't need to know. Compulsive truth telling. I want to shove a sock in my mouth every day.
cock*
sorry, was that aimed at me?
didnt mean any offense, only larkin about. apologies.
No
He's making a witty 'correction' to my post, which did actually make me laugh.
I don't think I would want a cock shoved in my mouth every day. It wouldn't be nice, and my jaw would hurt a lot.
Haha no
This is aimed at you though: http://drownedinsound.com/articles/3226517#r3226569
I dunno...
I chew my lips a lot. I get really arrogant sometimes, trying to mask my own insecurities...
Saying "sure" & "absolutely"
alot when work associates are boring me with their shit, when i should really say; "Go fuck your mum and get out of my ear!"
and i also...
say no and yeh a lot when agreeing
like
'yeh yeh no yeh no yeh'
and just saying yeh twice on the trot in general when agreeing is quite annoying.
i went through a stage when i was young of trying to say 'right' after everything i said to sound like joe strummer. oh dear.
I do that
saying "no, yeah" or "yeah, no" - I never noticed it til an ex told me it drove him bonkers and now it drives me nuts as well
Whenever I am left alone in a public place, where I'm not completely comfortable,
I pull out my phone, and send random pointless texts to people, just so that I look like I'm doing something and I'm 'fine'. I hate that.
I do this!
When I'm standing on a really busy bus or train, I feel the need to be doing something to divert my attention from staring at people, so always end up sending a load of pointless texts to people.
Do you have a calendar thing on your phone?
Rather than pointless texts, fill up your calendar with what you've done or what's coming up. That's what I do.
May 6 "work"
May 7 "go to work again"
May 8 "change t-shirt"
May 9 "vicious diatribe about the A12"
I'll try that out.
I'm really bad for looking at the ground in those situations as well.
I dropped my phone down the toilet,
the phone I'm using instead at the moment is so so basic.
i.e. no calander..
:(
Play Snake!
It doesn't even have snake.
:S
I reckon
everyone does this. What else is one supposed to do? I mean are you going to wank...there?
:D
i do this too!
except i don't even text, i just pretend to text. EVEN MORE LAME :(
i'm fairly sure i have hundreds of these but i can't actually think of any others right now.
oh yeah.
i constantly trail off and stop talking halfway through sentences.
when there are awkward silences, i always have this compulsion to make really boring inane comments like "it's so cold today" or "i'm really tired", that serve no purpose and probably just make me come across as a dull idiot with nothing to say.
Why don't you just
read the free paper?
I do this alot
slurring my speech
to the extent that people dont think im british.
pretending to text.
oh, not much. only...
EVERYTHING I DO.
I say 'like' a lot
I procrastinate
I'm lazy
I'm online far too much
I'm generally a doormat for anyone with a bit of confidence
I bite my nails
.....and I complain too much!
^all of the above and more.
Dinner?
yes please, I'm quite hungry
sammmmmme
this is also me!!! :D
i say 'like' a lot too
its like, annoying and stupid sounding but like, i can't help myself.
euurghhhh
yeah like, i know what you mean
like can be sound ok
if it is said in a considered, maleavolant, sinister, clockwork orangey way
try that
woah woah woah
be sound be sound be sound
thats quite an annoying thing to do...the nhate builds
nhate!
aaarrrghhh
i
also find my tone of voice reallllllyyy annoying
same here
if im with someone i dont know too well, or nervous or whatever...my voice just morphs into this monotonous drone that blurs individual words into one big blob of boring
this too
I scream when I receive a shock.
Honestly is my first reaction when a friend spills her pint over me/I encounter an absurdly sized spider/my housemate decides to deliberately hide on the stairs as I'm on my way to bed.
I still say "essentially", though I am trying my best to nip that nasty and useless habit in the bud.
I tail off halfway through sentences.
I have a nastily quick temper that dies down just as swiftly, leaving me wondering a mere second later what exactly my issue was.
Aaaand, tons more!
during a train of thought
instead of saying 'err' I often say 'fucking', and generally swear far too much. Though in the prescence of new people I am very aware of it.
That's brilliant
...
i toss off far too much
i'm just a bit of a twit really
but i don't have ticks, thanks for asking.
i find it impossible to say no or yes
i always get in trouble for it cos when i mean to say no i say 'not really' or yes i say 'yeh i guess, or sort of'
its very annoying and its caused me some REAL problems before
I..
- Over-analyse EVERYTHING
- I have a stupid accent therefore every time I say 'Off' or 'Here' people mimic me and laugh and then quote something from Lethal Weapon 2.
- I say 'You know' way too much
from where is your accent?
South Africa...
So I constantly get:
'But you're bleck mister murtagh'
Or the 'classic'
"Diplomatic immunity'
...
my b/f's on an away job with work just now. He called me yesterday and was laughing at his South African colleagues accent.
I'm lucky that my accent isn't that strong
But it's still there.
And I hate it.
And everyone thinks they can do it.
And they can't.
Where is your B/f?
presently in the Borders
and will be for the next 3 weeks.
Then he's in Senegal for 2.
Then Shetland for 3.
=(
Oh no he's in the army I gather...
So sad.
fill up any empty gaps in conversation
with songs about poo or how great i am.
theres loads more i cant think of right now
I talk shit sometimes
when there are silences in conversations with people I don't know very well or at all.
I clear my throat too much unnecessarily, then if it's quiet and I feel less able to do it, I want to do it more.
I get quite a lot of ‘bus-ons’
^..haha
yes to this...me too....its shit
did you know its actually called getting a 'buzzcock'...and hence the name...that might be bollox as ive never told someone who has also heard that but im sure its true
the clearing your throat thing!
i do exactly the same. i used to be much worse with it, to the extent that people would ask me why i seemed to have a permanent cough. not quite so bad now, but it still annoys me sometimes.
I come on internet message boards
and rant nonsenseical vitriolic bile at people I dont even know.
you also reply in the wrong place
you must really hate yourself for that.
How is it the wrong place?
This is the thread about annoying habits isnt it?
ahem.
http://tinyurl.com/2sy7jq
But that is where I wanted to reply.
I'm all confused now.
no.
see how your reply is indented?
you replied to my post.
you intended to reply to the original post.
READ THE DIAGRAM.
you're welcome.
You are being very pedantic
I just posted at the bottom of the thread.
Yawn to this..
:)
Biting my fingernails
And, something that's developed recently, saying "I thought so" when someone tells me something which makes me sound like an arrogant twat.
'what?'
'what.'
'what!'
'wha-aaaaaaaat'
'WHAT'
Waht?
^ minus the spelling mistake
I say 'filler' phrases twice
Someone says something I agree with and I'll say, "yeah, yeah". Or "I know, I know". Doesn't sound like much but it bugs me.
Sometimes I link them in a way that makes no sense. I can begin a sentence with "Yeah, no, but..."
