Does this drive anyone else here crazy? Maybe it's a misophonic trigger for me. I can't stand it when people start hesitating [yeah yeah, some people have stutters and stammers, I don't mean those people]. "Why don't you go and put it in the ...er ... erm... um", "I just wanted to go to the supermarket to get the eeerrrr errr what's it called...", "I have to get it from the eerrrrr...."

AGHHHHH HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ALL YOUR NOUNS??? It's actually more annoying when you know what they're going to say.

Maybe I just have issues.

Right up there with people who call you up for some piece of information at work, and then have to go and get a pen?!
 
This happens to me all the time. But what I find REALLY annoying is when the person I'm talking to doesn't know what it is I'm trying to say (when I can't get the word out straight away) and just stands there waiting...I mean...come on...are you not listening...are you stupid...you know what I mean...right...? No? Idiot! :rolleyes:

Oh, so you don't find it annoying if they complete your sentence for you? Or do you find it helpful? I always complete the other person's sentence and they generally seem to find it useful.
