Teenagers who use "like" and other unnecessary words all the time. Do they realise they sound really really stupid? "Well it was like I was like there" Uh...well were you there or were you somewhere that was like it? "She said to me I really like Kyron, and I was like, well like you know......" Crass and irritating in the extreme. Language is a gift. Language is the most important tool you'll ever use. If anyone treated my gifts or my tools in such a blasé manner I'd kick 'em right in the nadgers.  Seriously though, I feel your pain. I hate to hear language mangled and abused; I've even heard people use OMG and LOL as words, and they were serious. I hate using the phrase "the youngsters" but the youngsters are speaking what they type on their phones, the requirement to award a set number of marks for correct spelling, punctuation and grammar in examinations has been stopped, and children are leaving school without being able to compose a simple, coherent, letter. Honestly, I despair. They could at least teach them to use a bloody spell checker! Oh, and don't get me started on the mock Carribean accents so many (white) children seem to think is cool. Yes, it can be cool, if you're from the Carribean. If you're a 15 year old white kid from Tunbridge Wells it just sounds bloody daft! Na 'at I mean guy? How dem boys deh ah act so dotish? I have to go now, the nurse is here with my medication and that damn jacket they keep putting on me that's the wrong way round. |

Professionals in any field who use "I guess" at the start of a lot of their sentences.

You should see the e-mails some students send me. All in text writing without any grammar, spelling or indeed courtesy!
My pet dislike is the teachers calling them kids. Err, they're not goats!

Cannot say I actually "hate" anything. What I do find objectionable is individuals on forums with an attitude behaviour.
At the end of the day though, you accept the fact that they are/who what they are, and can't seem to help themselves. It's their nature to be so.

Ruth bought a pagola kit in what looks like a thousand individual pieces of raw wood. Each one needs painting with barn paint and then the whole thing needs to be built.
Yep, I still f*cking hate painting!

Particular type of people that come from uneducated backgrounds. Their typical characteristics are being loud, filthy, and downright bloody stupid.
Can't stand how they speak as well!!

Assume you are talking about Chavs here Shane, if so, I am completely with you, they are the scourge of our society. If we are talking formal Education though, then I don't think that has a lot to do with it, it's more social engineering, social education and lack of care in my experience. My brother-in-law was a Police man, and he used to tell me stories of the nasty individuals that he had to deal with on a daily basis, in fact, this was one of the primarily reasons he gave up the Police. |

I think any of the pond life in Big Brother and all those fly-on-the-wall made-for-Sun-readers TV programmes fit the description perfectly.

That bloke that keeps popping up here to tell me I've got an ad-blocker, and asks "can we talk?". I know I've got a bloody ad-blocker and no, we can't talk! I also get fed up with having to lie to him. I obviously won't do it next time, but I have to tell him I will so he'll go away. It's also painful keeping my tongue in my cheek for this long.

The description of any so-called horror movie that begins with "5 college students..." or "A group of teenagers..." or...well...you see where I'm going with this? Generally speaking the only real horrors are the acting, the script, and the direction.
