I thought that I was the only person on earth who was cranky enough to hate it when somebody says "Enjoy!"

Don't know why.  It just makes me cringe.

I also hate it when at a restaurant and the server says "Enjoy your meal!"

Also no explanation as to why that makes me want to climb the wall, but.... there it is.

Or, it is what it is. Whatever.

A couple of years ago a catalogue had a round stone that had "TUIT" in capital letters carved into it.

The description beside it said "The next time someone tells you they will do something when they get around to it," simply hand them this and say "Here you go!"

The worst one!

Wives usually say "my" husband and men very often refer to their wife as"the" wife even when writing.  When I hear it I want to severely hurt the speaker. So demeaning, like she is a thing!!!

To me the worst is asking an expectant mother if she knows what "it" is.

I hate to hear 'no problem' when I say thank you to a waiter or cashier......

This is the one that makes me crazy!!!  Unless someone is thanking you for some sort of favor, it makes no sense!!  When the cashier hands you your change and you say thank you, the answer is "You're welcome"!!!!

Another thing that bugs me is when someone starts a story or explanation with "So."

"To be honest", is used when what follows isn't what the person being addressed wants to hear. It serves as a sort of warning. I don't mind any of those. I do mind the news people, drilling down and unpacking their stories. I mind self care, toxic, and the amateur psychologist speak.

The wife is her title or position, the same as the Queen or the neighbor. Nothing disrespectful about it. A fetus is not a person and since the gender of the future child is unknown, what other pronoun would one use?

I despise it when grown women use these cutesy terms:  "tummy" for stomach or abdomen; "yummy" when something is tasty; "sammie" for sandwich.

It makes women sound so juvenile and certainly not hip.

Hate over a comment from someone working hard to earn money? Sad. 🤨

@mspatmac @J Town Girl  I remember hearing a term , years ago that I think is even worse than "the wife". How about "my old lady"? How about "the little woman"?

Or, along those same lines, when a woman has to use the "little girls room".  Ugh
