I know?

What I hate are people who end every statement with an upswing in their pitch, like they're questioning everything they say? And its just so annoying to listen to? And it seems disturbingly common in California here?

Reminds me of a comedian whose gimmick is just doing that after every sentence. It makes his act utterly unwatchable, regardless of the actual jokes.

People who end affirmative statements with question marks.

It gets me every time.

I'm sorry.

I'm not gonna stop doing it, but I'm sorry it bothers you.

It's okay Sigma; you don't have to be sorry.

I get annoyed by a lot of trivial things.

People screaming conspiracy theory over clearly medical needs for a person to retire.

Look I understand if Daniel Bryan Danielson is your favorite wrestler.  He's endeared himself to me too.  But if he wants to be able to put his kids in the Yes Lock someday, he needs to retire in order for his brain to not be turned to mush by flying headbutts.

Ironbite-the WWE is looking out for the bearded bastard.

I always thought the question mark after a statement meant wavering support. Or a declaration lacking confidence. Or something akin to "I think so". Like if someone is looking at worried or intently then ask if you're feeling ok, you might answer "Yes?"

It's mostly used for that, I think, but it's also commonly used when someone asks a question or makes a statement and you're not sure what the point is or where the line of questioning is going (or you do know where it's going, but you're having trouble following the other person's logic).

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate being outside in the sleet?  Because I do.

If you are going to bring up "news" from a racist (and fake) news site is it too much to ask that you actually read what they have written in the article before getting worked up by the title? Also, when it turns out that this particular site actually gives a link to the news site from which they got their story (which is also racist but doesn't support the claims of the second site which had decided to turn the claims up to 11.) to follow those links to the original source (which is not racist and doesn't support the claims that either of the two previously mentioned sites made) and see what actually happened?

...Furthermore when I do the work for you and debunk everything you had implied, instead of admitting that you were acting too rashly, why on Earth do you defend yourself by saying "but look at the title! They wouldn't make up something like that, would they?" When I have SPECIFICALLY debunked the title already?
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

Fried bread. It seems like a great idea when I'm hungry, but afterwards I just feel nauseous.
