I was listening to some local politicians have a debate on the radio, and I immediately decided which one I would vote for based on how they talked. One of the biggest pet peeves of mine when people talk to you, or rather, talk at you is when they start every sentence with "LOOK." or "LISTEN." It has just enough pretension in it to make you feel like a lesser person but not enough to call them out on it. This peeves me more than people saying "Like" or "Dude" or "Um" or "VTEC yo, just kicked in yo."

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people talk about things other than cars. I mean, is anything else really worth talking about?

All politicians have verbal tics. It's fun to turn them into a drinking game.
"My friends" "Let me be clear" "Umm" "Look" "There you go again"

Because there is a car in the background.

It's even worse when they are talking about cars and it's not related to putting an STI 6 speed in to my Forester XT.

Other than cars??? I mean the only other thing that exits is food... right? I mean, you can talk about other things like hot chicks who like cars, the money you need to make for another car / upgrade, video games about cars, retro diners where cool cars like to park while their owners eat...

One of the biggest that bothers me is something my management professor did. If I was talking to her she would nod her head and say mmhmm, yes, yeah, uh huh, non stop for the whole time I was talking. It made me feel like she was so focused on "active listening" that she didn't actually hear a word I was saying.

With the head nodding and the next thing ready to come out the half second you stop talking. I want to hit a motherfucker when they start that.
You aren't listening. You are waiting for your turn.
