Every time I hear someone say 'eh' in a questioning tone or to mean 'um actually' I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.

Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.

Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.

How about all y'all?

"What I think she was trying to say is that- ๐Ÿค“โ˜๏ธ" Stop trying to put words in my mouth or speak on my behalf when I am right here to put my point across to everyone.

That followed by those public event speakers that brush off the first round of goodmornings and then say "SAy iT lOuDeR! wHeRes yOuR eNeRgY! DIdNt yOu aLl eAt bReAkfAst?! ๐Ÿคช" Idk what it is about hearing this sentence early in the morning that inspires so much hatred in me. You could have the most riveting, inspiring and thought provoking presentation in the world and have done lots of commendable deeds but if that string of words exits mouth before showing all of it, I automatically dislike you and whatever you have to say next.

I think what youre trying to say is that you want to communicate your own ideas in the way you wish to and not funneled through another mind.

Also yes anyone in public speaking wanting more of a response is annoying.

How do I leave a 50/50 downvote and upvote for this lol. The downvote is for that banger of an opening sentence and the upvote is in agreement to those kinds of public speakers being annoying.

You don't have any downvotes there??
