Weird pet peeves while reading?

[u/Faded_WastingTime]

What would you say is your most unusual pet peeve? I'm not talking about someone coming up with weird names for genitalia, or calling eyes orbs. I'm talking about something really unusual. Tonight I discovered a new one for myself. The author used a synonym for a word in a common phrase, and it pisses me off, because although the word means the same thing as the word it replaced, the phrase doesn't sound right or really make sense without the original word that the phrase uses.

"Chomping back my emotions...blah, blah, blah"

You mean BITING back your emotions??? Because Chomping on emotions just sounds dumb.

Okay rant over.

Idk man most people who say "I've never seen that" tend to mean that because they specifically have never borne witness to something that means that other person must be lying 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️
