"I could care less"

"Addicting"

"Amazeballs" / "totes amaze"

"nom nom nom"

Last two not too offensive on their own but in conjuction with other faze sayings get my back up .

Over pronunciation of foreign words by Americans, particularly in regards to food. A good example is mozzeralla, not muuzerel. You're from Ohio, not Tuscany.

And it's "PEET-zah", not "pizz".

Never fails, FedEx is just about the worst at shipping anything to a home...

I had two 4x4 tires coming to me by fedex. i was at work when delivery dude came. guy actually called my phone and said his route was over for the day but he still had the truck, and i could just come over to his place and get my tires. went on my lunch break and got my fudge. true story.

Flaming Lips - Noise Loop off Hit to Death

I play music in the background at work and sometimes turn it down real low when I'm on the phone.
Every once in a while I'll drymounting hit the godamn Noise Loop track and over the next 20 mintues slowly get more and more anxious for no godamn reason.
That is until I realize i've been listening to a persistent static pulse.

That delivery guy is kind of awesome.

Trying to explain how to pack shopping at checkout to the packer. Frozen goods to be kept together and keeping chemicals and cleaning products separate from produce.
This made me

My wife is a freak about sorting. She tries to load the conveyor belt with everything grouped together and then she usually tells the bagger to get out of the way so she can do it herself....There's nothing worse than trying to pick out good produce, only to see the bagger put the tomatoes in and throw fudge on top of them.
I am that freak when we go to the market. I will group the items as I want them packed, as well as where they will be going in the kitchen when they are unloaded. It never fails that fudge will get put everywhere... And I am a freak about bread...

We went shopping for Thanksgiving this past year, and $350 later when I was looking over the cart as we were about to leave I saw not 1 package of bread products anywhere in the cart... I starting lifting things in bags to try to find all the bread that we bought, nothing, looked on the end of the register, nothing, so at this point I was getting pissed... I started taking EVERYTHING out of the bags to find the 8 items of bread that we had bought... Found them! AT THE BOTTOM OF 4 SEPARATE BAGS WITH PIES, CANNED GOODS, AND OTHER fudge ON TOP OF THEM!!! A manager saw that something "was not right" and came over to see what was going on... I, as calmly as I could, explained and she said "We can replace all that for you, if you would like to go back and get the same items you need replacing we can replace those". She was lucky that murder is a crime at this point... I said to her, as direct and calm as I could (which I was told later was not very calm ) that the "drymounting idiot that put the bread at the bottom of the bags could take his ass around the store and get exactly what needs to be replaced, because I just spent the last 2 hours in their store getting the items in the first place".

The bagger then ran (and I do mean ran) and got everything to replace the items with, and that was the last time we went to that market.

Nice!!! I had a good laugh on this one...

This can be correct. A person/personality is addictive. A substance is addicting.

Ending sentences/statements with "so..." which implies "and you know what that means", or "need I say more?"
No, I don't... and yes, you do.
