No, you don't have a "challenge" for me. You have a problem and are trying to make it mine.

Man if that isn't just empty manager-speak, rephrasing things to BS you and be manipulative. Lol
Upskill. I'm not 'upskilling' someone, I'm training them.
Iβm allergic to corpospeak in general.
People using double negatives incorrectly. Like "I didn't do nothing!"

Queer. Not all gay men (the one group I can safely speak about) like to be associated with an ex-slur and its connotations.

If someone uses the word 'curate' they'd better be preparing to show me a shoebox filled with their favorite vaseline glass and not a pile of random deli meat on a wooden board
Lemme get that shark cootchie board of curated meats

The corporate overenthusiasm "LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO".
Ugh. Sure, maybe the product launch went great, but still. Ugh.

I work as a barista and get much too annoyed by people ordering a "regular coffee".
Like I know that 99.999% of the time they mean a drip/filter coffee (excluding that one lady that one time who was surprised I didn't parse "regular coffee" as a latte), but like can you just say drip coffee? Or even simply "coffee"!
I honestly don't even know why it annoys me this much.
I'm a waitress and "regular coffee" means different things across regions. Some people mean just "drip, not decaf" with no indication of cream or sugar. Some people mean "drip, black" with no indication of caffeine content. And where I grew up, "regular" means "2 cream 2 sugar", as in you'd be asked if you wanted your coffee "regular or black". It's the worst.
That latte lady was just crazy though... unless she meant "my regular"?

Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.

Ironically, the phrase "rustles my jimmies" really burns my biscuits.

Places using "gluten-friendly" to mean "gluten-free". I am gluten-UNfriendly. I do not want gluten. They've tried to be cute and actually managed to make the term mean the opposite of what it's supposed to.

I unreasonably hate the word "moreover". I see no reason why you wouldn't use the words "also", "additionally", or even "furthermore" that sound way better when read.
You would have hated my highschool essays
I had a young coworker who reported to me and a few others, for a few months earlier this year. She would come in and say βthat being said,β¦β all the fucking time. I heard it at least once or twice per brief conversation with her. I think she was just trying to sound smartβ¦ but, it was like nails on a chalk board to me.

Using the phrase "serious question" or "honest question" will make me immediately assume your question is the exact opposite of that. Probably I'm overreacting, but expecting that anyone might respect that declaration you've made about your own question, that gives me narcissist vibes.
