OMG my boyfriend...he has this really irritating bad habit of always saying:
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING?
OMG, that s**t drives me nuts...I can't stand that damn phrase of his!!!! I hear him saying it throughout conversations with me and I roll my eyes. He says, "I'm sorry. It's just a habit." Other times I tell him, "YES! I DO KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN, IF I DIDN'T I WOULD TELL YOU!!!!!"

He is having a conversation on the phone and he says it over and over again. I roll my eyes and I get so irritated. Once, I counted how many times he said it during a 15 minuted conversation...that guy said it 12 times!!!!!!! I told him so and he said he would try not to say it....YEAH RIGHT!

My husband drives me crazy with a saying too. Whenever anyone asks him "How are you doing?" His response is always "Who knows?" UGH!! Everytime I hear him say that it drives me totally crazy!!

my boyfriend always says "sorry" for absolutely no reason. and he always says "hows it goin?" randomly in the middle of conversations. it doesn't really make me mad or anything, it just can get irritating after awhile.

my mom.. talks. that's annoying.

EVERYTIME my sister calls someone on the phone, she waits for them to pick up and when they say hello, she says the saaame thing! "Um hi yes, um..." JUST SAY HELLO! lol Then when someone asks her a question she has to repeat it. Me: Why did you do that? Erin: Why did I do that? Because...
Grrrr LOL Also my mother, brother, and sister, they all just, belch. I just can't stand it! They do it so openly and don't care who's around. I could never do that.

i openly belch all the time, in school.. anywhere. and it's always REALLY effing loud too. i'm a pro. it's funny, because all my teachers know me for doing it. at lunch once, my friend rachel burped really loud in line and mr. weller turned around and was like "WHERE'S HARDASS? (hardass is my nickname)" and everyone was like "IT WAS RACHEL." hahahaha

Everyone in my family chews like cows and I can't stand it.
My dad chews gum CONSTANTLY and he can't do it without making noise.
My mom repeats herself a lot. You could only pay attention to 10% of the words that come out of her mouth and still understand the story.
My grandma is not supposed to smoke in the house since my mom had her heart attack, yet she still does it. She smokes in the bathroom because she thinks that it doesn't smell as bad because she opens the window? I don't know, but it doesnt help at all. She leaves the door wide open and our house smells like a bowling alley.

my boyfriend was a smoker; only now that he is around people that smoke does he understand what it was I would complain abt. Smokers don't know the smell that we smell. Since he stopped smoking he smells soooo great.

My husband does that also except he says, "You know" all the time when he's explaining something to someone or just in a normal conversation and it gets under my skin, because he will say it in just about every sentence. Also he pees with the bathroom door wide open. I always get up and go close the bathroom door when he goes to pee. I think he does it because he knows that it gets on my nerves.

My husband sometimes bugs me when we're watching movies at home. There will be a quiet scene in a movie, with music, or whatever...and my husband thinks it's an opening to start talking about what's going on in the movie. I tell him that he's ruining the mood of the movie.

Also, when we're watching tv or a movie and someone says something funny, my husband repeats the funny line...which in turn, often causes me to miss the next line.

Also, when I'm on the phone, it seems that he just must ask me a question. Never mind that for hours before I got on the phone, he barely talked to me.

Im a big deal
03-27-2006, 10:16 PM
my dad chews really loud and it literally makes me sick. hes also like really....mean. when he talks to people, he has his eyes really wide and it scares me. idk he just looks mean. and when somebody says something that he disagrees with, he does that too.
when we are arguing hes always like "do you understand?" and im like "yes" and hes like "i dont think you do...blah blah blah" its so stupid. if i didnt understand, i would say no...duhh

My dad talks during TV shows...any kind of TV show. And he has some kind of sixth sense, because it's always at the exact time you want to hear something.

He asks you something about 100 times. It's not that he forgot or wasn't listening, it's that he's making sure YOU remember.

He's anal about money. Any time he and my mom start discussing anything to do with money, I have to leave or I'll eventually feel like ripping my ears off with a pair of pliers.

My mom, when she's trying to do something she doesn't understand right away, she gets argumentative or something. Like tonight...I bought this handheld solitare game and she decided to play it. Well, she didn't know how to move the little blinking box to highlight a card, or scroll up and down through the cards, so I tell her, and she gets all huffy like, IT DIDN'T DO THAT...NOTHING WAS BLINKING. Ugh! Don't yell at me.

another thing my boyfriend does that i hate is when he obviously says something to me and I say right away "Yes?"...then he says nothing. I say, "what?"...still nothing and it never fails on the third time i YELL "WHAT!?" he THEN responds.

IT NEVER F*****G FAILS. I have to ask three times...WTF is up with that????? He did this last night and he had the friggin nerve to say, "Don't yell at me"...Well, hello A-HOLE, if you heard me respond to you right away, why don't you respond back??????????????????? :mad: And the dumb thing is, he never told me what he said. I never asked either. By then WHO THE F*** CARES...not me.

My husband expects a hot meal every night, and it bugs me. Just now, for example, it's warm out today, so I told him I was going to the deli to get chicken salad (which is delicious), rolls and pasta salad for dinner.

He didn't say anything, but it was in his face and the way he shrugged his shoulders. I spoiled him for the last 23 years with really great dinners. He was always working hard, and a hard working guy needs a big hot dinner.

I just figure now that he only works part-time and light work, that light dinners are fine. He could stand to lose 20 pounds, and I could stand to lose 10.

I'm venting. He just pisses me off. I figure if we eat out once a week, get take-out another...and I cook three nights a week...what's wrong with sandwiches or whatever the other two nights.

We do deli or whatever a lot, cuz my mom works full time and full dinners are not always possible. I doubt my dad is super happy with it, but oh well. My mom figures if he doesn't like it, he can fix himself something.

I know what you mean. I am the type of lady that feels if a man works hard all day (my boyfriend works 12 hour days) he should expect to be pampered at meal time. However, the pounds were adding up and it's not good. thank God the doctor told him two weeks ago...NO MORE RED MEAT. He told him more fish, no red meat, light chicken meals. I was so happy. Not only for his health, but I can get by with a sandwich and salad or deli stuff like you said. I could eat a salad and be fine. It feels great to not have to make these lavish dinners, or make a grand meat and potato meal, etc. Just something simple. It's good for all of us anyways. But I know what you mean. My man does that facial expression at times and it bugs the crap outta me. A lot can be said WITH THE FACE AND THE EYES. God! if men had to plan a menu daily they would be tired too. I don't know how many times my boyfriend would call me from work at 9 a.m. and ask: What are you making for dinner??? WTF????? are u serious??? it's morning, I am not thinking abt dinner right now...MEN!!!!!

I wish I could adopt your mother's attitude Cathy. Another thing is that I run of out ideas for dinner. The other night, I fried potatoes and green peppers, then added egg. Sort of scrambled eggs with potatoes and peppers. In another pan, I cooked those breakfast sausage links. I also made buttered toast.

It wasn't the most difficult thing to make, but it took me awhile and involved a lot of cleanup. He loved it. I joked that it was like breakfast.

So today, when I got his shrug of the shoulders about my suggestion for a deli dinner tonight, I told him he has to get used to the idea that not dinner can't be an event every night anymore. He pops out with, "Did I complain when you served me breakfast for dinner the other night?" :livid:

Now mind you, I cook a lot of pasta dishes, steak, chicken, pork chops, you name it. I honestly don't even think it's the food with him. Just some sort of duty thing, in his head. Like I said, for over 20 years, I cooked big dinners, and he's having a hard time letting go of that. And it works because he manages to make me feel guilty. I still want to cook meals, just not every night or even five nights a week.

Thing is, I'd be happy with a grilled cheese, mac & cheese, or a can of Progresso soup a lot of nights. I enjoy a hot meal as much as the next person, but every other night is fine with me.

I'M VENTING. SOMEONE PULL ME AWAY FROM THE COMPUTER.

lol...we eat breakfast for dinner a lot. My dad actually likes it. I'm the one who's not always wild about it.

We also eat a lot of those frozen meals that come in a bag/box. Mix the stuff together, maybe add chicken or something, and there ya go. Last night we had hot dogs. If my dad had to cook for himself, he'd be eating something weird, like cheese sticks and ranch dressing. :lol: Heck, I chided my boyfriend once for eating Doritos for dinner. You have to have some sort of real food here. And deli/soup/hot dogs/etc is real food.

My dad does something similar to that... you ask him about something, and you have to play 20 questions in order to find out what you wanted. Like say he goes to a baby blessing and I wasnt able to make it, I'll ask him how it was, and he'll say something like "fine." Then I have to ask a million questions to find out how it went. UGH! ITS SO FRUSTRATING!

My dad is the type that won't ask exactly what he wants to know until like, the 10th question. By then I'm usually so confused, I don't know what the hell I'm saying.

I help my mom w/dinner most of the time, and we kinda run out of things to make too. We're starting to experiment w/new cassaroles and stuff. My dad doesnt really care what we fix, he'll eat just about anything. Im the picky one.
you just reminded me of something else. My boyfriend (damn this guy needs help!!!! LMAO) will out of the blue just start a conversation abt something and I have no idea what he is talking abt. For example, once I was on the computer and he was watching t.v. then he said "You know that was real crappy what he did." WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WTF????? I said, "Who?" he says, "That man in Vegas"...WTF...what man in Vegas? the one who is in jail. "WHAT!!" He will then say, "There was this man...........:"

OMG I can't believe he is telling me something as IF I KNOW WHAT THE F***** HE IS TALKING ABT. He just started a conversation out of the blue as if we had been talking!!! I get mad and tell him to start from the beginning. I swear, wht the hell is he thinking???? He will also bring up something that we DID TALK ABT WAY EARLIER and he will start talking RIGHT WHERE WE LEFT OFF. One time we were talking abt our son and how he is starting to brush his teeth. Two hours later while I was washing dishes, he came into the kitchen and began saying, "Yeah, I think the way you are getting him to brush is the best way." WHAT THE HELL??? That conversation was two hours ago......HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

My husbands has this bad....the both of us can sit down at the same time and start to watch a movie or a tv show. And he'll ask me, "Who's that guy? What's his name? What did she do?" as if I know. I always tell him that "we're both watching the same thing I know what you know" that gets on my nerves. He has the tendency of doing that a lot, especially when we're watching a movie.

oh i know of what you mean girlfriend...lol

my guy will watch something and I can almost tell (99 percent of the time) when he will ask "Who's that?" "Who is this person?" I would gladly like to tell you Number one: If I knew also but I don't...number two: I would like to tell you, because I do know, but I don't want to say anything right now because I am watching this and I don't want to miss anything being said because I can't hear the show and talk at the same time YOU FOOL!!!!!

THANX FOR LETTING ME VENT!!

Also, when I do tell him a name "Oh that's Sofie Jones" it doesn't end there. It goes on to more questions. So, even though I may know the person he is asking abt, I just sometimes say, "I don't know" because I don't feel like answering a bajillion questions.

lol....my dad does the same thing, or at least something similar. But it's usually when he comes in the middle of something, but instead of asking what he missed, he like, keeps asking about the ending. Oh, and then there's the predictions. He'll go on for an hour saying "so-and-so did it." He's usually wrong. I have no idea why he does that.

LOL,

My BF can sometimes be such a pill. He constantly talks about his likes, when i start talking about mine suddenly stone silence, and than he says "you are soo weird Chris". And i sit there like, at least my life isn't based around Sex. The only shows he even likes really are Queer As FOlka nd Nip/Tuck with granted i enjoy them. I mean i have the season sets. but there is soo much more to life than that. We are constantly having fights because i like "old tv" and he considers anything made in the 80's-90's old. But i love him. Soo i put up with him. But sometimes grrr can get soo irritationg.

My sister always does that. It irritates the hell out of me!

Also, you don't want to watch a movie with my mom or dad. My mom will always tell the obvious. Like, when somebody in the film gets hit on the head, she will say: "That must've hurt". YES I already KNOW that! STOP saying these things all the time! My dad will sit down, not like the movie (since he never likes any movie I like), but still continues to sit with me, but tease me and bother me all the time. If you don't like it, GO AWAY! Nobody FORCES you to stay!

What bothers me to no end too, is what my dad does. He clearly doesn't like something, 'cause you can totally tell by the look on his face, then you'll ask what's bothering him, he will say "nothing". Then he will go somewhere else and we hear him sigh and mumble all the time. TELL what's wrong or STFU already!

Also, my mom doesn't 'talk'. He only screams. :mad:

GOD! I know I'm a little over weight, but I'm working on it and it doesn't help for her to call me fat all the time! :mad:


That's so mean of her! :( :bighug:

my dad does something really annoying. whenever he is talking to someone, he sticks his head right in front of their face. when i am talking to him he puts his head close to me so i can understand what he's saying and he spits while talking too. it's SO ANNOYING!!!

and theres another thing he does too. when he refers to my stepmom, for instance if hes going to call her, he says 'i'm gonna call my wife' and i'm like i know her name. but he does that to my stepsisters (her own kids). once he was with them and instead of saying 'i'm going to call your mom' he said 'i'm gonna call my wife' :rolleyes: does he think he's extra special because he's married now? OMG!

Yup. But she does this really stupid thing & I laugh at her to get back at her. Whenever she sees someone she knows she'll nod her head and go "Umhum" even if they don't see her & are like a mile away. I make fun of her everytime she does it! LOL! :lol:

My gf is the same way with movies like you guys were talking about. She does this one thing that drives me NUTS, but at the same time I'm sure my response drives her nuts as well. Everytime we see a movie that I've already seen before and she hasn't, there will always be parts where she says "OH MY GOD, WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN?!" or something similar. Like always, I say "I don't know", even though we both know that I do. Then she keeps pressing, and I say "You'll see" or "Watch and find out."

It drives her insane, but I'm not going to sit there and just start giving away the whole movie! I like to let people be surprised, whether they want to or not. :lol:

My husband holds the remote and constantly pats his leg with it, kind of like
he's getting ready to do a fast draw. I just want to snatch it out of his hand sometimes.

MY BROTHER NEVER DOES ANYTHING AROUND THE HOUSE. HE IS 6 YEARS OLD. IF HE CAN MESS THINGS UP, HE CAN PICK THEM UP!

My mother doesn't practice what she preaches. She SCREAMS at us becasue "we take advantage of her" or "we don't pick up enough". But I went into the kitchen this morning and it looked like a tornado with through it. The thing is, I HAD IT SPOTLESS BEFORE I WENT TO BED LAST NIGHT.

Then I come home from school and it's STILL this way, so I clean it up.

God, Irene, my best friend is the same way as your boyfriend! :lol: I love her dearly, but dayyyum, she doesn't stop talking! For example, we just spent the weekend in NJ for Beatlefest and were crashing around 3 a.m. I was DEAD tired--I mean, she could see that my eyes were shutting and I was fading fast, yet she kept on talking! She does it during movies too, but she's gotten a lot better than she used to be.

As for family, I'm sooooo sick of how my brother Kenny doesn't clean up after himself. Ever since my parents seperated, it seems we have way more responsibilities for the house then ever before (because, face it, my Dad isn't the cleaning/cooking type).

My brother just started working with my Dad, and since they carpool together, he's taking on my Dad's hours (which is 6 a.m. to about 6:30 in the evening, roughly). I understand he's tired, but I work too (not to mention go to college, do homework, and have other responsibilities here at home). Would it kill him to do the dishes or walk the dog once in a while? :mad: :mad: :mad: I mean, if I have to get out of my nice, comfy bed to walk the dog, then he should find time to do it as well. It's not fair!

Hehe, venting made me feel better :)

My dad and brother always like to belch - loudly - when my mom and I are around. Of course, it grosses us out. My dad also cracks his knuckles all the time, which makes us cringe. My dad also never puts anything in the hamper, always ON it, or on the floor AROUND it. That was why my mom and I howled at the PMS ep of ELR, when Debra wanted to know why men do that. :lol: There are a couple more, but I think you get the picture. :mad:

Oh man, my boyfriend (again :lol:) does the same thing. ENOUGH!!!!!:mad: Not only that, when we get into his car and he turns on the car, THE VOLUME ON THE RADIO IS HIGH!!!!! It scares me! because it is so loud! I sometimes remember to immediately lower the volume right before he turns on the car so I don't get my ears shot out!:mad:

My husband knows better to talk when we're watching movies; yet, sometimes if there's a part in a movie where there's no dialogue, he thinks he can start yacking away. Wrong. I tell him that those quiet parts in movies are there for a reason, to set the mood....and when he talks, he takes me out of the movie. He doesn't do it all the time, but I hate when he does it. I tell him to pretend we're in a theater, and to please, SHUT UP! lol.

Another thing, if I read an interesting headline on the web or in the newspaper, he'll ask me to read it to him. If it's a short story, it's no problem, but not if it's a lengthy article. He always tells me that I used to love to read stories to him. I tell him there are lots of things I used to like doing and don't anymore. Things change.

Oh God, again, something in common!:lol: My boyfriend will read over my shoulder when I am reading the newspaper and start "reading to himself" but OUTLOUD. Not really LOUD, but in a whispering tone and it DRIVES ME UP THE WALL! You know how f*cking irritating that is when he reads one article and here I am trying to read another?

I have a peeve about another friend of mine. See, I tend to bitch when I have to pay a cover charge to get in the bars since I never have any money anymore. I mean, I pay almost all my own bills except for my car insurance (I pay for my car payment, my credit card bills, gas, food, spending money, and soon to be school loans). This friend gets a lot of help financially from her mother and sometimes her grandparents if she needs it.

Now, $10 to get in a bar might not seem like a lot to some people, but for someone like me who has to make my paycheck last, it certainly is! Yet she always makes a joke about how cheap I am. It's really beginning to bug me because I don't think I'm cheap at all--if I happen to have extra money that week, I'll shell it out. But if I don't have it, I'm not going to waste my last $10 to get in to a crappy bar that we'll probably leave in 15 minutes when I could be using the money to fill up my gas tank to get to school :mad:

This is a really stupid thing to get annoyed about, but it certainly pisses me off. I hate when people say 'yup' or 'yeah' instead of 'yes'. it's not like it takes more time to say yes, all 3 words (actually, only yes is a word) are one syllable. I think saying yup or yeah in general conversation makes the speaker come across as dull, and to me, when someone answers 'yup' or 'yeah', it's like they are answering off the top of their head. Does anyone else get bothered by this? and I don't mean when people say those occasionally. I mean when 99% of the time, they do not just say yes, they have to say something else that sounds so..blah.

However, nothing annoys me more than people who talk at the movie theaters during a movie. Yesterday this large group of 10-13 year old kids were sitting in front of me and my friends during the movie. At times in the movie, the characters were talking so quietly, that the children's voices overpowered the movie. Eventually I said to everyone (in a loud voice) "you are all being very rude. people are trying to see the movie, so SHUT UP." everyone clapped after i said that, aha. :D and one of the workers at the movie came in and lectured them. if i wanted to hear a lot of talking during a movie, i would have watched it at home, where my obnoxious brother and my mom do not shut up when they see me in front of a television screen. It's a lack of respect. Same goes for when you are in a car and a song you love comes on the radio, and the people in the car know that, yet they do not try to be a little quieter so you can hear.
