I've developed the rude habit of rephrasing what people say. When their thoughts are jumbled and their words come out the same or when they mispronounce something I almost always correct them. A girl at my job hates me because I felt the need to stop her mid-rant and inform her that it's 'Charmin' toilet tissue not "Charming". I don't think I've ever seen her that embarassed.
Yeah - I'm an asshole.

You even go as far as to rephrase your own words?
At any rate, it *is* annoying, because of that very fact. But sometimes it helps too. I tend to think too fast for my mouth to keep up, and I either go too quickly, where people lose track of the sentence I am uttering, which forces me to repeat it, losing more time... or I stumble on my own words, starting another word midway into the original word that should have been there... So sometimes it's good when other people rephrase what I just said, so I'm sure they at least understand it.
I'd say rephrasing it isn't as bad as completing sentences though. Even so, I can imagine she was embaressed.
