Impropper use of refliexive pronouns.
"Allow myself to check that for yourself on the computer..." God only knows how I've so far managed to not thump anyone for that yet!
People who sit in the middle or outside lane for no good reason.
Welsh people.
Vegans.
When I was 18 I worked in a pub. I found it quite annoying when, on a busy night, people thought that waving a £20 note under your nose, like you're some sort of poll dancer would somehow make them get served faster, irrespective of where they were in the queue.
I couldn't agree more. I worked in and managed a bar / club for a few years. Whenever it was done to me, I'd say thank you, take the money and serve other people for a while. Depending on their response, I'd eventually serve them or hand back the money and then serve someone else. Barman, listener, advice-giver, teacher.
Ooooh, that reminds me; blue drinks. Drives me bloomin' insane. Anyone who orders / makes / drinks a beverage with blue curacao in it should be firmly slapped. It's not the 70s or 80s you Del-boy-twunt.
Fat people with bad legs. You see fat people walking using a cane in supermarkets and the like, if I had bad legs I think a sensible thing to do would be to lose some weight so those struggling sore legs don't have so much to carry about.
My obese father in law when he 'flops' into 'my' seat on the sofa, coz it's the best seat to watch the tele. Everytime they're due to come over I think I'll ask dead polite for him to just sit down gently, but he might go in a huff so I keep the peace and say nothing but cringe when it happens waiting for the springs to go 'baDoooinggg' as they break.
Use of "get" as in "Can I get a cappuccino" annoys me!
Usually uttered by an American, or by someone pretending to be an American by being horribly rude. I think the stock response is "no, you sit down, I'll get it for you"
Anyone who "rocks up", has "rocked up", or is in the process of "rocking up".
Or who "rocks" a pair of jeans, or whatever. You're not ROCKING them, you're WEARING them, ****!!

[i]My housemate always quotes the exact price of things, so if hes sees a good offer he will say 'Wow (he's says that alot too, regardless if the situation warrants it), that is reduced to four pounds ninety nine pence!' As opposed to 'four ninety nine' or how I imagine every one else says it. 'A fiver'
First to the wall.... [/i]
Almost as annoying as people who think "alot" is one word.

I hate monospeeders almost, but not quite, as much as I hate middle lane drivers.
How do you feel about monospeeders in the middle lane? Bet that's really funny to watch as an outsider 😉
When people say "I could care less" when *clearly* they mean "couldn't".That really grinds my gears!
Americanism. Along with...
"Most always" instead of "almost always".
"Reached out to..."
"Touched base with..."
Screw it. Just add Americans to the list.
People having "look at me" conversations on their mobile phone in otherwise silent train carriages.
Die.
"So I turned around and said...then he turned around and said...then she turned around..."
Stop it, ffs...you're making me dizzy. Did you [i]really[/i] turn around? You did a 360 degree spin while having a conversation? You're a ****!
People who "fink"...you clearly [i]don't[/i] [b]think[/b]. How can you blunder through life, continually hearing the word pronounced correctly and not modify your behaviour? It's because you're an imbecile, content to wallow in your own knuckle-dragging-thuckwittery.
Chimdey instead of chimney, you retarned twad.
Almost as annoying as people who think "alot" is one word.
The annoying thing is, that annoys me too, I just didn't notice the typo.
😳
People who "fink"...you clearly don't think
They don't know nuffink.
Anyone who "rocks up", has "rocked up", or is in the process of "rocking up".
What do you think it should be "swapped out" for?
😉

I'm sure a suitable phrase could be murdered in.
Self-righteous grammar and spelling pedants get on my wick far, far more than the odd typo or incorrect spelling/phrasing tbh.

Bikes being described as "trail hammers", "race weapons" or any other expression used by that Kesteven bloke at WMB
"Chillax" really boils my p***. As does "at the end of the day".
Here's one: When you want to ask an ebay seller a question and you have to go through that whole rigmarole of clicking 'what is the question about?' 'did you get your answer?' - NO I WANT TO EMAIL THE SELLER ABOUT SOMETHING A LITTLE LESS VAGUE THAN 'IS THE ITEM USED?'* AAAAARGH Has anyone ever clicked 'yes' to 'did you get your answer?' Proper ebay trolling.
*ask to complete privately for cash

Agreed, also 'back in the day'......
Good one jambourgie.
Along with any site that makes you type in nigh-on impossible to read numbers in order to do stuff, under the guise of security.
Then you click for an easier to read option, and it gives you something harder.
Apologies if it has been done but...
[i]Can I lend your hammer?[/i]
Ohh, so you actually mean 'May I borrow your hammer?'
That and exclamation marks used to excess!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ohh shit I'm going now....
New and Improved!
So is it new or is it improved, it can't be both.
And
'I gave it 110%'
• Bearded pedants speaking in absolutes with self-appointed authority
• Preceding every sentence with a short, sharp intake of breath through teeth
• "It is what it is"
• Undeployed keyboard feet
• Poorly formatted word templates. (why make a template if you have to make identical edits each time you use it?)
• "Just that, you know, Jer neigh say kwa"
People who insist on telling you a story even although you clearly know more about it than them, and tell them immmeadiately, but they still continue.
along the lines of.. "did you hear about that guy who...?" - "yeh he's my mate" - "well apparently what happend was..." - "yeh, I know He's my mate".

Adverts on tele that get louder, like to attract your attention more.
Do one!
Scuzz- I'm with you on finding "it is what it is" incredibly annoying!
Using "Adorbs" as short for adorable in a Barbie doll advert!
Most of the grammatical errors quoted above are not petty.
The use of 'swap out' for example should always be countered by a damn good kicking.
It's the only language these bastards understand.
'Swap out' is not a grammatical error though, it's shameful affectation.
Almost as annoying as people who think "alot" is one word.

Worked for one of the country's best lawyers. He insisted that "alot" was one word.
And my addition: Hollywood films that display on the screen US-centric geographic information. So, for example, "Mumbai, India". What, like there could be a Mumbai in Arkansas?
A friend of mine puts his wine or beer glass on top of his phone at the pub. No idea why but it seems to wind a lot of folk but, myself included!
People who after *ing up say "We are where we are". Yes, I know where we are, the purpose of this conversation is me telling you you're a useless *, reminding me of the thing you did that convinced me you're a useless **** is unwise at this juncture.
Shopping baskets kept in the outside of a shop.
Plugholes that don't drain quickly and clog with tiny bits of food or coffee grounds or tea leaves
"Ripe and ready" avocados which are solid as a rock.
Folding and knotting empty crisp packets really used to wind a friend of mine up, so much so he used to get up and move away when I was doing it.
People who belch loudly without covering their mouth with their hand. No, saying 'excuse/pardon me' doesn't.
People who say 'axe/axed a question'. It's 'ask/asked'.
People who think it's OK to park with their car covering more than two thirds of the pavement, just because they live on a narrow-ish road.
It's not, you are a selfish **** and your car wing mirror's safety is not more important than pedestrians' convenience.
"Everything happens for a reason."
Rots my jobbie-meat.
