Just for fun:

I'm sorry, I can't take you seriously if...
- you are an adult wearing crocs (and aren't in the garden)
- wearing a Barry Manilow shirt without a hint of irony
- are chewing gum

How about you guys?

margies2010

- you can't spell basic words, or use incorrect forms of the words.

- cut someone off before they finish their thought just because you don't agree with their opinion.

gabrielafrnqyepez

- if you are wearing a bow tie skinny jeans and suspenders and you are not Urkel or its halloween. 

- if you are out of college and are still facebooking, twittering, hashtagging EVERYTHING you do, every 5 min!

twogirlsandagreen

Use the non-word irregardless during a conversation with me

leighann1

Are an adult who uses text abbreviations with no hint of irony. I just can't.

If you make duck lips in all your pictures

amberrmariee20

-if you take pictures of yourself and cut off half your head to make your tits the main part of your picture.
-if you act younger then my 3 year old, and throw tantrums over anything and everything.
-if you continue to complain about something and continue to do it.
-if you have no sense of humour.

I can't take you seriously if:
You have rotten teeth.. Seriously dental hygiene is not rocket science

cgummie

I second the comment about spelling and grammar errors.

I can't take you seriously if you ignore all posted road signs, then try to cut me off when the construction begins or lane ends. You're waiting, buddy.

-if you can't properly use your and you're and there, their and they're.
-if you wear a grill
-if you drive a luxury car but stay with your parents.

Ahh man, my crocs and one other pair of shoes are the only ones that fit over my swollen feet...

Birdee212

-if you say "supposably"
-if you don't like chocolate ( I seriously don't understand)

leighann1

-If you constantly spam my Facebook with "event" invites to your Jamberry/essential oils/body wrap/fitness shake/workout system/Scentsy/fill-in-the-blank multi-level marketing "job" and I haven't even spoken to you in YEARS. 

-If you post "anti-gay marriage" garbage all the time on the basis of "Biblical marriage" and then reveal that you're going through your second divorce. And somehow can't or won't see the irony. 

stephiesheldork

I can't take any advice seriously if you're lecturing me about something you do examples:
You're unemployed telling me to get a job.
You're smoking a cigarette telling others they need to quit.
You're telling me I can't have coffee while you sip on your Starbucks.
You're chugging a beer talking about how so and so shouldn't be drinking.

THIIIIIISSSSS.

carlymarie021

If you say " Caitlyn Jenner and all the other transgender people on TV are giving kids ideas "

MandahGirly

- if you use a selfie stick
- if you can't write actual sentences on a forum. Writing one long a$$ paragraph with abbreviations and using u instead of you and not even one comma in sight! No excuse if you are on your phone, I'm on my phone right now and it's not an issue.
- not using your signal when you are driving
- whoever posted about those people who don't move into the next lane when clearly the lane you are in is about to close! No I will not let you in!!!!

THIS!!!! Oh my gosh. I have to add to/too and loose/lose to that list. It grinds my gears!

- you blame others, circumstances, the world etc as the reason you're in your current situation.

I just had to!!

candicequeen

You drive slowly in the left lane and don't get over for others to pass you, and then throw your cigarette butt out the window directly into the beautiful lake we are driving beside that you didn't see because you were too busy texting.

This all of it lol! Also:

<If you start PMing me on Facebook about going to one of your stupid wrap sessions or essential oils sessions because I've ignored every event invite you've sent me. 

<If you start PMing me about why I shouldn't vaccinate my kids (not trying to start something here)

<If you're still starting drama over something that happened in high school 

komorebi

-if you use the word bae to describe your significant other
-if you are over 25 and go the EDM or any of that other stuff
-if you say you are "blessed" but it only applies to material things
-if you complain about money when i know you don't pay your own bills

kaweegar

- if you say pacifically instead of specifically or say exscape instead of escape
- if you always have your tongue out in pictures
- if you tell the same story over and over and every time you tell it you exaggerate more

Sbrouwer0706

-if you're always talking about "that one time in high school" or "that person from high school."
-you get offended over every little thing.
-you post on social media about every small detail of your life.

LansL

Pacifically instead of specifically really gets my goat.

Lots of educated people in London/Essex say 'was you' even during business meetings or interviews, somehow it's acceptable and it totally grates me - speak proper English!

Some people say arks (that is how they pronounce it) instead of ask.

People who go to the loo (work, public toilets, anywhere) and don't wash their hands properly.

If you are a 55yr old woman from my work who has been busted more than once not washing her hands after a number 2 and has a duck quacking for her ring tone and doesn't turn her phone to silent in the office so you hear it all the time!

Right, I'm putting my claws away now ;-)

beckles112

I'm going with the grammar and spelling thing, as well. It also grinds my gears when people don't use punctuation. I can't stand to see sentences jammed together with nothing separating them. Also, "lol" does not have the same function as a period. X(

gograce

-If you don't know the difference between "then" and "than." Seriously, they sound different!
-If you're over 18 and text with "u" for you, "r" for are, "ur" for you're/your.
-If you don't look at me funny when you find out that I'm obsessed with Amiibos for the Wii U.
-If you post things on FB about how Caitlyn Jenner isn't brave. Like, c'mon, bigots from high school! Courage isn't just one thing!

anorthro

-if you talk about how wasted you got last night as if it's something to be proud of

-if you say "gararge" instead of "garage"

-if you say "it's really all about visualizing what you want and then you'll get it" when you're rich

-if you say anything racist or bigoted

-if you think Obama is not a US citizen or that the Newtown shootings were a conspiracy

-if you argue that the fact that there's still monkeys disproves the theory of evolution by natural selection

LiveNLove44

...if you're an adult whose only posts to FB and Instagram are selfies with captions like "headed to the beach with my kids!" or "I love spending time with __________" but no one else is in the picture.

...you don't believe that tone exists in the written word.

...you're nasty and hide behind the guise of "honesty" (you're giving a bad name to honesty)

...(to follow the trend of word choice) you use the words "fustrated" or "expecially" and you aren't in elementary school.

CaitLewis15

-if you say "I seen." I have a friend with two master's degrees who consistently does this. She couldn't have written either of her thesis papers like this. How does it not translate into her vocabulary??

-if you've seen Monty Python but are all, "I just don't get British humor."

@komorebi what if there is more than a little irony when using 'bae'? Sometimes it slips out, especially when I know it makes DH uncomfortable...

MamaOwl15

I agree with so many of these, especially the misuse of grammar.

I can't take any adult seriously who responds to any mention of white privilege with "what privilege? I've had to work my a$$ off to get where I am!"

If you own an XBox One/PS4 and have nothing in savings and/or you're not contributing to your retirement account (unless you had some unexpected emergency come up and you had to spend your savings, which you're now rebuilding)

If you wear clothes with Disney characters on them out of the house

If you say things like, "I'd be in shape but I like pizza and Netflix too much"

posted to wrong thread...

basdenjn6

- if you constantly use the word "literally" when you speak. You are not a Kardashian so stop it.
"I literally had a heart attack". No... No you didn't.

midge519

-if you pull your money out of your bra to give it to me. Seriously pull it out before you get in line. It looks terrible!
-if you're kid is acting horribly and you give them the preferential treatment over your well behaved child. I know there are conditions to this so I'm not judging all just the routine customers I see and know that kid is just a brat. Stop giving them everything they want. Reward the good one!
-if you set your money on the counter instead of handing it to the cashier. It's just rude and most of us will just put your change on the counter for you to pick up.
-if you see someone with multiple children and immediately assume they don't know what birth control is.
-if you don't use your manners. Even worse if your child is using his/her manners incredibly well and you don't use them at all. Worse that than is when that chi doesn't say please after saying just one thing and you get on their case for not saying it. Seriously let them be, your manners need work not theirs.
-if you yell at me in a different language because I don't understand you. I only know English and a few things in Spanish, let's work together and we can get through this. Don't be a douchebag.

Sorry for the mini rant but working in customer service I see these all daily and it drives me crazy

saintpaulJess

If you are a woman and say you are not a feminist.  Do some research and understand what it is that you're saying.

gabrielafrnqyepez

-Omg that when ppl throw change on the counter...its so rude!!!!!
-When you are in a social environment and your cell phone hasnt left your hand, you havent bothered to look up once and acknowledge the person you are with!.....worst yet when in a restaurant i see both/all ppl at the table on their phones!!!!!!!
-When doing laundry/groceries and see women wearing "clubbing/party/slut wear with heels!!!!

Funny how we all have our grammar pet peeves. I hate "I seen" "I could care less" and when something is broken and people say it's broke. My father says that. Argh it makes me rage.

I could care less haha that one cracks me up ! So you do care then.

The internet sales manager (I'm still baffled as to how she managed to obtain that position) at a previous job was responsible for emailing customers who came to the car dealership. She always started her messages with: "I seen you was on our lot yesterday and...."

Just wanted to point out that I saw on a news program (please someone correct me if I'm wrong) but men who are devout old religion Jews won't or aren't allowed to touch women and often exchange money by setting it on the counter and expect their change to be given back in the same manner. So it very well could either be that or a cultural thing and I wouldn't let that one irk you.

• I get annoyed when I get my dollar bills back before coins and then some manage to fall...

• I also can't take people seriously when they type 20$ instead of $20.
