I can't think of any annoying tics in anyone's posts. No one here drives me crazy.
Spidra, can you just, like, turn around and leave the room when your dad starts with that shit? Nobody ought to have to put up with that.
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have all the common ones, I think. You know, like, awesome and dude and whatever. Totally verbal tic city.

Amazing. I don't think I ever use that word, but everyone on tv seems to use it as the go-to word. I think I'm developing a peeve.

Something I have been saying lately to end trailed off sentences is "...and the what-nots."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Totally verbal tic city.
"Totally" is one of mine, though I think shrift gets it worse than you guys do. And definitely. And starting my sentences with so.

Because books.
I use ellipses too much when I post. Even I know this. But I don't really care, because I like my little trio of dots.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm incredibly ticcy. And judgy. And prone to gratuituously ending things with "y".

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I think I use too many qualifiers. Like "I think", and "pretty much", and "sort of". As if I'm afraid my opinion will annoy someone, so I throw in qualifiers to dampen the effect somehow.

Oh man. I am the most unrepentant ellipses abuser around. All. Day. Long.
Knowing how wrong it is, I still write like I speak...pauses and all.
eta: I also begin far too many sentences with And.
And, I'll start a statement with "I don't want to be harsh but...no wait, that's not true, I DO want to be harsh because..." No one has ever suggested that is annoying, but I bet it really is.
