Please don’t think I’m here to complain about rizz or skibidi toilet etc. Thats all fine by me.

The term I dislike strongly is ‘eeeh’ before you make a statement disagreeing with someone. (This is over text only). Now maybe I’ve been pavloved bc it’s always used by someone disagreeing. But I’m happy with people disagreeing with me normally its just the ‘eeeh’ or ‘erm’ that annoys me.

So what’s a random term that annoys you?

PS. Saying “eeeh actually ‘eeh’ is a perfectly fine term” would be a ridiculously easy joke and I will judge you for making it. And I know atleast one person will. Especially bow that I’ve said all this.

    I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a “regular coffee”.

    Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn’t parse “regular coffee” as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply “coffee”!

    I honestly don’t even know why it annoys me this much.

      I’m a waitress and “regular coffee” means different things across regions. Some people mean just “drip, not decaf” with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean “drip, black” with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, “regular” means “2 cream 2 sugar”, as in you’d be asked if you wanted your coffee “regular or black”. It’s the worst.

      That latte lady was just crazy though… unless she meant “my regular”?

        Personally I’m a fan of Irish coffee, but most coffee bars seem to frown on busting out the whiskey at 8a.

      Regular coffee is a coffee. People say regular coffee because they’ve gotten fatigue from “which type?” questions. I’m more annoyed that the understanding of coffee has shifted away from the default just being an espresso. Over here in Spain if you ask for cafe you’ll get a cafe solo.

      Here a regular coffee would mean a milk based drink. Something like a cappuccino but not quite. Nestle ass drink.

            Okay, I’ve never even heard of a Dalgona before, and that sounds incredible. Like somewhere basically incredible hot chocolate is the default coffee
