Crack on
 I laugh because I got told to crack on and had a major strop about it. Luckily I learnt it wasn't as sarcastic as I took it at the time and now everytime he says it I laugh |

I used to work with a girl who was hopeless with computers and every time she messed up she'd say 'bloody t'internets playing funny buggers again'.
I used to have to leave the room it bugged me so much! |

One of my team at work insists on calling me “Boss”, as in “Good morning Boss”. Irritates the bejeezus out of me.
“At the end of the day” grrr
“My bad” yowl.
People who say “Pacific” when they mean “specific” - what does a large body of water have to do with being precise?
I could go on, as this is really quite cathartic, but I’d just look like a moaning minnie! |

I work with someone who is constantly asking for one of us ‘to borrow me your pass, borrow me your pen, borrow me a tissue....’ Apart from the annoying fact that she never seems to have anything of her own to use, the ‘borrow me’ bit sets my teeth on edge. People have corrected her before but she doesn’t seem to grasp it. |

I shared a house with someone who said that, I feel your pain. |

Where I live they add “like” to a conversation at every opportunity..
“What’s he doing like?”
Gah!
My 7 year old son has also started saying “guess what” about 50 times a day and that’s starting to wear thin too. |

"Literally anything that isn't literal.
‘oh my god I like, literally laughed my head off’. Did you really though Sandra? "
I literally died laughing, so they cut me open in the autopsy and discovered I didn't. |

"Damp squid and on tender hooks both piss me off mildly "
Both of those whould annoy me, primarily because it's "squib" not "squid" and "tenter" not "tender" (that last is from the wool industry).
I know people who routinely get both of those wrong and,yes,I too get a bit frosty about it!  |

Basically most of the bastardisations of the English language which are faddy with the current yoof. A particular bugbear is the entire missing of words from phrases. Such as "neither" in place of "me neither" as if it's a complete sentence.
Not a phrase but the floss dance and the dab mark someone out as a waste of organs so far as I'm concerned. |

Being tasked.
"you've been tasked"
One day somebody is going to find me saying "you've been murdered"
Since an American company bought my workplace out last year we're hearing a lot of phrases & buzzwords that put me in mind of Death's monologue at the dinner party in Monty Python's Meaning Of Life.
I just wanna tell ya.
Best of all is the total lie.. "We're so happy to be here in Gateshead". Really. Have you looked out of any fucking windows? |

When someone starts a reply with ... "with all due respect...." you know they won't show any respect!
When someone describes an event, article, action etc as "awesome"! No, it bloody well isn't, find another word!!
When people say "me and my friend/partner. ...." when they should say "my friend/partner and I...."
When someone asks, "can you learn me to....? No, they should ask, "Can you teach me....?" |

"At the end of the fucking day! That pisses me off soooooo much lol"
I have visions of taking the life of people who say it.
The problem is what I'm thinking makes me smile so people must mistake me liking the said phrase |
