Does the way your S/O speaks get on your nerves sometimes?

I just had an epiphany...my GF is 24 years old...how can I tell? It's the way she speaks...it's so....limited...sounds childish sometimes.

She bought a new truck a few days ago; today she brought it back to the dealer to put the brush guard on it. (They had to order it)

So, I buzzed her cell to see how the morning was going.

*ring*
Her: Hello?
Me: Hey cutie, it's me. How's it going w/everything?

(Here it goes)
Her: Well, I like brought the truck in and told the guy "hey, like I'm here for the brushguard" and he was like "well, OK, park it over there." So like I said .........and then he went.......and I was like........and then he said......so I went.........then I told him "well, it needs to be cleaned, 'cause like, you didn't do it right the first time" and he went.......and I was like .........then he was like .......and i said.....


:|!ARGHHHHHHH!:| That little paragraph above? Enlarge it by about 100x and say the whole thing in 60 seconds at rapid fire...that's what she sounded like. Ah! I said "like!" :eek:

It's not just HOW she says things; sometimes it's the trivial nature of the thing that's bothering her at that particular moment in time.

Don't get me wrong. I know that I am her to LISTEN. I have MASTERED the "head nod" the "mmm-hmm, I see, honey" and the all-important "yes dear."

Today, I'm extra-sensitive to it...don't know why.

OK, now you rant on your SO. :D

that can get annoying. from my experience, they don't get much better in high school. they are either doomed to sound that way, or never did to begin with.

This is something about this Hispanic girl, Brooke, that was my g/f in high school. There's this subtle thing about American Hispanic women of a certain age.... the way she talked that was somewhat endearing at the time but now I find incredibly annoying. It's fairly subtle, and it has to do with a little raising of the pitch in the middle of a word, like "That's so cyOOO-oote!" with this certain tempo... and there were other things too that I can't put my finger on exactly, but it's actually fairly surprising how often I'll be talking to some Hispanic girl and she'll inflect something in such a way that I'm reminded of Brooke and it annoys me.

My wife's voice is soft, beautiful, and melodic like a pair of silk bells hanging off of an Angel's scrotum. Or something like that.
However, when she is trying to wake me from my sleep of the dead her voice reminds me of my mothers and sends me apesh!t.
Then I wakeup, realise I am a fscktard, apologise to my wife, and then go have a sleep leaning on the wall in the toilet while I have my morning leak.

So are half the people here who proclaimed "I'd hit it" when the Ellen Feiss "Switch" ad came out - and they now find out she's 15. :Q
And then so are the single moms trying to pick me up when they find out I'm 19. :eek:

24-year-old: "Are any of your friends looking for an apartment to rent?"
M4H: "Probably, why?"
24YO: "Well, I'm going to rent mine out starting at the end of the month."
M4H: "Cool ... do you have some number or address I can give them?"
24YO: "Why don't you just come over and I can show you?"
M4H: "I'm 19."
24YO: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Sometimes when I'm asked to do something twice because I failed to do it the first time I have to try not to lash out at mrsskoorb because just for a split second it reminds me of the constant fvcking nagging my mother used to do, and I'm oversensitive to it now.

Yea, I know, she is so damn immature, all of 11 months younger than me :| lol not really, with the exception of the fact that I use a plethora of big words when I speak, we actually have very similar verbal mannerisms.

Oh wait, I don't apply to this thread anymore, nevermind.

my gf has a texas accent with certain words and it drives me a little nuts. For example, she says the word "bird" like "baaard".

I do not know if it was the whole MTV generation, but it seems to have fallen with my generation. I was born 1981, and was through the 80's 90's when the pop culture was in full swing, still is, but, ONLY in my generation do you find the most people saying the words LIKE, and UMM in everything. It really drives me nuts. I find it sad now in college, how seeing people my own age, talk with elder's at a job or such, where the only things out of their mouth are LIKE and UMM. My goodness, where did this start? Who started the whole LIKE thing.

Like Umm Umm Like, really?

dammit, it pisses me off. I literally three or 4 years ago, COMPLETLY changed myself to NOT say LIKE or UMM while speaking. It has worked so far, although i notice that i slip a like in once in a while, but thats, like, ok.

like, take it for what it, like, is.
