I originally saw this topic on Reddit, but what are some seemingly miniscule things that a person could say to you that would make you instantly loathe them?[quote][/quote]I was at Subway and heard a girl pronounce the word 'Italian' as "Eye-talian," the most white trash butchering of a word's pronunciation that I can think of. It's a pet peeve of mine for sure, and it may be a small mistake, but it never fails to raise my blood pressure some.
Eye-literacy must really be a bitch.

If we're doing pronunciation of things, people who say lar-tay instead of la-tay (latte) need to be shot. In general, people who say things like "economics is useless because it assumes that people are rational when actually they aren't". People need to learn what rationality means in an economic context, learn that actually there are quite a lot of economic models which don't involve rational agents, and most importantly of all, stop thinking that just because I study economics means I give a shit about their views on it.
