Shop Talk
Why. Do. Some. People have. to.. talk. like...this.?
Seriously, it gets on my nerves, man!
Cust: "I'm calling....about....my..bill.... whyyyyy..do. *I*... need to. payyyy... this... bill? " (and the entire call the person is talking like this, like William Shatner, only to an exponentially more annoying degree)
Me: *ripping hair out my head*

That's covered under 'omission.' For instance, if you're quoting someone, you can go

"Don't ask... ask what you can do for your country."

That's a pet peeve of mine that I have with people I chat with. It's like they are telling a story and it's a cliff hanger each time they submit a message.
"I have a phone..."
"that I don't like..."
"I want to..."
"possibly return it for a new phone...."
"I just don't want to pay..."
"the restocking fee."
I just want to type "TYPE IT ALL OUT TOGETHER!" 👿
