When I started thinking about things that really wind me up, another thing popped into my mind. I find it equally as annoying as specific/pacific but probably more commonly used. Although I suspect that this word is not technically correct I just find it the most condescending thing you can say to someone. It is kinda saying 'I hear what you are saying but I really think it is of no consequence and that you are complete child to be patted on the head'.
And what is this word, I hear you ask?
Bless
People say this word and I know it should be a nice thing but it just winds me up, I don't think it really matters how it is said the word itself is just condescending and well, bloody horrible. Yet again something that seems to have become very fashionable. I just want to say 'Up Yours' when people say Bless, even when they are saying it to someone else.
It is just me or does this piss off other people.

Nope. That ones all yours.
I say 'bless'.
Usually in that patronising, head-patting way too.
:-)
It depends on my mood whether this annoys me or not. If I feel ok I tend to ignore it but if I'm annoyed or upset then it is the most annoying thing in the world!
I don't tend to say it either, but then I'm sure I have other ways to be patronizing! Not everyone says it to be patronizing it just sounds that way.
