Quck question
Is there word for when people use "or" alot. Like whenever they say something they will offer an alternative. example:
maybe I'm just this "or" maybe I'm just that.
"so how was your weekend in nutshell "or" longer.
maybe I'm just this "or" maybe I'm just that.
"so how was your weekend in nutshell "or" longer.
"either"
"in lieu of"
can be used instead of OR when contrasting things
give us a more clear usage and we should be able to help you.
is english your second language?? not being an ass, but your sentences are fragments and the second one does not make sense (like it is missing words).
Define your question more clearly and we can offer better advice.

Following what S2020 posted, "a lot" is two words, not one.
(However, S2020 should have written, "Because we are on English . . . ." or (There's that word again!), "As we are on English . . . ."; "since" is temporal, not causal.)
As for the original question (which, by the way, should have terminated with an interrogative, not a period), the word that springs to mind is "irritating", though "annoying" would work equally well; "exasperating" seems excessive.
I, for one, am unaware of an adjective that describes someone prone to the specific behavior you describe.

You know how if you write too man words starting with the same letter in a sentence, it's called illiteracy. I thought a remember a name for always using alternatives in your writing. Examples stated above.

And what, exactly, are man words?
