People who ask me "What did you just say?" and when I refuse to repeat my last words, they say exactally what I just said aloud to prove that they heard me….why ask me to repeat myself if you already know what I said?

Also, People who do not repeat themselves if I did not hear them and ask them to repeat what they said

Screaming 14-year old girls- I didn't cry when I watched Extreme Home Makeover last night because of a teenage girls who tried to take all of the glory away from her brother with an extreme case of cancer. Every time I began to tear up, the girl made it known that she was more excited than anyone else by the piercing scream she let out. Thanks girl, I now know your annoying.

Towels that don't absorb…I want a scratchy towel that gets the water off me in one swipe of the body, NOT something that feels like you're drying off with a fluffy plastic grocery bag.

We have a consistent discussion in my house about the true meaning of "I'm just sayin."
I think you are partially correct, but you've missed the other half.
It also indicates, "you may have shredded my argument and may logically be my intellectual superior by leaps and bounds, but I'm just saying that I'm right and you're wrong."
It's a subtle, passive aggressive way to always be right. About everything.
"Look, I know you got e coli from Shoney's breakfast bar last week, but I'm just sayin' it's still a good place to eat."

Pumping my own gas.

Oh, wait. I don't think that's an actual pet peeve – just something I don't like.

Or "I'm just saying"s cousin "No offense but….." I think people should ether say it, mean it and stand by the consequences or not say it at all. None of this stupid trying to duck the consequences of saying something offensive by prefixing it.

"I know, right?" This makes no sense. I have said a statement to which you agree, hence the "I know." But then you seem to not be sure, so you ask me if your opinion is correct – "right?"

I think anytime someone says this to us, we should look quizzically at them and say, "Yes?"
