"Are instead of our is my current no 1. Followed by utilise instead of use. Then any one of mixing up were and was, wasn't and weren't, etc. "
How do you reassure a grammar fanatic?
Their, the're, there |

Of instead of have gets my goat. |

When asked a question the other person's first word is 'look'. That annoys the shit out of me.
How long is a piece of string? This winds me right up. Especially when your asking a tradesman how long left will it take to finish the job. |

The middle word should be 'they're'

Going forward....oh just fuck right off. Where the hell did that piece of managementspeak come from?
My two other irritants are the intonation on the end of every sentence so it becomes a question? And everything that annoying cow from the Trivago ads says and does. |

Over-use of the word Actually.
I was watching some programme the other day and this dopey woman said "actually" 11 times in her interview. Drives me fucking nuts!!! |

Between Scylla and Charybdis |
Starting a sentence with the word obviously when there's nothing obvious about the subject at all.
"Obviously I did it six and a half times last week..."
"Obviously I got up at 7:42 this morning... "

I'm a little bit OCD.
No, you're not. The fact that you would state that shows you have minimal understanding of OCD.
It doesn't even make sense as a statement anyway. What you're actually saying is, I'm a little bit obsessive compulsive disorder.
Say you're obsessive and leave it at that! |

"Pre-order!
You can either buy something right now, or order it!
Box set. BOXED, FFS!!! "
Both of these have been my pet hate for so long!
My other one is "rant over" especially when it invariably follows a short reasonable statement about something of little consequence.
Oh, also the social media threads that start with "to the person who..." You didn't tell them at the time, they're unlikely to be reading this so why bother? |

"I'm not being funny but"... every couple of sentences. No, you're not funny.
"So I turned round and said... So she turned round and said... So he turned round and said... So then I turned round and said"...
So which way are you all facing now then? Aren't you dizzy from all that turning around? |

I hate the phrase "caught the feels" or catching the feels or any other variations. It's called developing feelings - not "feels" that are caught like a cold! |

In bars, restaurants and shops:
‘Can I get a glass of wine’, ‘Can I get the bill’, ‘Can I get this’, ‘Can I get that’...it’s so cringe worthy and lazy American. Whatever happened to ‘Please Can I have ....’? |

Many adverts on the tv and radio that refer to dates are now going down the American route: ‘sale starting September 24, coming to a cinema near you December 8’. What’s wrong with the 24th September ffs! |
