As above, the ridiculous use of "like" in every sentence which once noticed then drives me crazy.

People saying shut up after they have heard something that they can't quite believe.

e.g"I flew to New York on Sat morning and was back in time for work on Monday morning"

"Oh shaaa aaaarp"

[i]Regular[/i] when ordering coffee. My usual totally unimaginative reply is along the lines of " no it's my first time here"
[i]Extreme[/i] when used by TV presenters to talk about any sport that isn't golf, footy or darts.

"International community" - no - it means to global elite. They can count me out when people use that term.

Also annoys me when people refer to New Labour as Left. No, to me they seem to the right of the Tories.
