Rant: Habitual sayings that people say that you hate.

"Long story short"

When I hear that, I immediately follow it up with, "Too Late!" Let's speed it up folks.

When I ask people, "Hey, what's up?", I really hate when the person responds by looking up saying, "The ceiling" or "The sky"...it was never funny, and now I want to punch you in the goddamn throat.

I could care less.

"There's no such thing as a stupid question!"

Yes, yes there is.

"... ATM Machine..."

"... ATM Machine..."

Guilty.

I hate when people try to sound like they understand grammar ... "Do you want to go to the game with Joe and I?". Stuff like that. Joe and me if you want to be perfect, me and Joe works for me, but Joe and I .... hate it.

who the hell is joe and why does he get to go to the game and not I

At the risk of being someone you hate, I'm going to point out that in that example either "Joe and me" or "me and Joe" is correct, but "Joe and I" isn't, so you're right to hate people that say "Joe and I". In that case, both Joe and the first person pronoun are objects of the preposition, so the objective form, "me", is right, and the subjective form, "I", is wrong.

Not a saying, but I'm apparently the only person that knows how to pronounce asterisk.

You're not the only one; that bugs me too.

"Not gonna lie"... I had no reason not to believe you until you said this. Now, I'm not so sure.

Also, it's pretty much impossible now to say "good luck with that" without sounding sarcastic or skeptical.

"We're easy."

No, you're cheap. Plus you want extra lemons for your water, more bread and that wedge salad you ordered for your entree chopped but not tossed -- dressing on the side, blah blah blah. Easy is a bottle of Cabernet and a Ribeye.
