For the record, I'll apologise in advance for any offence people may take from this. None intended, but there's always someone......!
Was watching some cricket earlier (ok, was T20, but had watched England's latest Test collapse as well), and one of my pet hates was uttered by the commentator (female and Australian.....not a good start  )
The offending (to me) expression was "early doors"! It ranks up there with "y'know" (which is even worse if delivered by a 'Brummie' accent) in my books.
Now, I accept totally that this is a personal view, and I will admit to my excessive usage of "absolutely", which I'm sure will be abhorrent to many, but what puts your hackles up?? |

"No offense" clearly you meant to be offensive.
"Sorry" unless apologising for something accidentally done then I don't want to hear it, because you wouldn't have done it if it were to make you "sorry". |

I saw it and it actually is a saying that gets to me, don't see the point in saying it because you wouldn't say what you were about to say if you were bothered about offending someone  i also didn't say it as it was in your opening post, I had to check what you were on about as i hadn't recalled it being there. |

I initially took this totally the wrong way, and responded (now deleted) accordingly. If you happened to spot it before I deleted it, my most humble apologies.....and sorry |

When I get a text message from a friend saying "Hey".
Don't get me wrong; it is nice to receive the text. But a few more words are good as well. I just reply with Hey! Haha.
For example, Hey, how was your day? Or Hey, when are you free for a catch up? Just a few more words makes all the difference... |

...."and what have you" Or "this, that and the other" Grrrr
No, if you can't be bothered to finish the sentence properly and actually tell me the information, don't start telling me about it in the first place! |

"To be fair" used at the beginning or end of a sentence when describing something. EG, "That was a good night out to be fair".
Complete waste of words - why wouldn't you be fair?
When someone says "grinds my gears" - makes me want to commit hari kari!

Doesn't grate on me so much, but one of the silliest phrases I hear is "With all due respect" only used when describing something or someone vastly inferior in some regard.
I always thought it should be lengthened to "With all due respect, ie; none." |

Oh god. Guilty of practically all of these, all the time (bar the marketing twaddle, though my bosses are working on me!).
For me, though, it’s the way everything is described as a ‘hub’ these days. ‘Digital hub’, for example. when they just mean ‘building with a few tech startups in it’.
Drives me nuts! |

When someone says "fair enough" when I explain myself to them.
Or when someone has a habit of saying "...that's life" while sighing.
Any kind of phrase to do with being more productive, striving yet harder, even faster, even higher, more more more! As espoused by workplaces. I'm a diligent conscientious person but despise the whole philosophy of a person is only useful if their being productive all the time, can never take an hour to enjoy anything.
And the worst of all, "How are you?" while not meaning it whatsoever. I think this is a British thing? |

Going forward
At close of day
In real terms
These are my top three ‘piss boiler’ phrases.....
I work with people that come out with this stuff and think they’re on The Apprentice or some other crap

I always ask people how they are and you're right, I don't care how they are. I just expect them to reply fine not actually tell me how they are |

"Hit me up" what is that all about? Gets on my nerves.
It's not always just about the saying though, it's sometimes the person and how frequently they use the word or term. |

My favourite saying to really fuck folk off that I just cannot be bothered entertaining is.
That will be nice for you.
Drop those 5 little words into a conversion or argument that you cannot be bothered with and watch it end right there.  |

"See you later.....always used to mean later today
In any way, shape, or form....
Really?? How are shape and form different and is it worth mentioning them?"
Gordon Bennett! Does anybody still say that? |

"Lol" - we are not kids, there is no character restriction in speech or text these days. Stop using it!
"Hey, how's you?" - hey is for horses! Don't get me started on "how's you?"
"Scores on the doors",
"Touch base",
"Would of", (it's " would have")
"Gotten" (why?!?!)
Starting every damn sentence with "so"........

"'Think outside the box' usually uttered by some numpty that thinks he's being smart...  "
We can hold a thought-shower as brainstorms are insensitive.
If we come up with an idea let's 'run it up the flagpole and see who salutes it' |

Think outside the box - I just can't help but think it's a bullshit saying
Another day another dollar - I used to know someone who said it all the time for anything and now it just triggers me whenever I hear it |

Without a doubt so many people not knowing when to use was and were.
"I was going to do it today" actually makes me want to cry
Or just as bad
" take a look at are profile"
That isn't like mixing up there and their, it is painful.

As opposed to "I were going to do it today"?
Are you from Yorkshire? |

"well I'm sorry but" why are you apologising for your opinion? And if you have to say sorry about it why not just shut up and not say it in the first place?! |

Plenty still do......and I believe this thread is about annoying sayings rather than old ones isn’t it? |

"When people overuse the word ‘literally' or use it wrong. It makes me figuratively want to explode! "
Basically is another one.
People who answer a question with "so".
The phrase "end of" sends shivers down my so I e  |

The use of the word "pacifically" when they mean "specifically" gives me rage so bad...and when some describes their food as "lush" for example. ..no.no.no it is not lush.....it is delicious. ...I've wound myself up typing this now ha |

‘Much of a much’ or ‘much of a muchness’ what does that even mean?!?
Also while i’m on the subject, any buzz word bingo does my head in. ‘Going forward; lets regroup in the... go hard or go home...’
Arrrrghhh - thing is I work in such a twatty industry I’m not sure how I haven’t a) gone insane or b) turned into Patrick Bateman. |

Actually.
Do any bla bla bla Any damn sentence when this word is used, mainly on the here....
Example. Does anyone actually meet on this site?
Let me think...
Do any women like hairy men?
Erm....
Ask the question you want answering, rather than something that can be shut down by one person with a one word answer. "ladies, do you personally like a hairy man?" would probably be a better version.

This. Generalisation is also never more marked than when someone has a ranty sentence in their OP and neglects to use the word "some". Eg; Why do women never read messages? Why do men get all shirty when I tell them they're not my type?....
Also to TnT above, saying food is "lush" is one thing (most predominantly in SouthWales I think) but saying food is "fit" as you would towards someone you found attractive, that used to mean "in shape" is something else...Yet scousers do this all the time, as in "That curry was well fit!" |
