Things that irritate you.....

People who say, "I went to the gym and swam 30 laps." I think you mean 'lengths'. Laps would mean you're circling the pool.

People who say, "My dog is a thoroughbred." Again, I think you mean 'pedigree'. Thoroughbred is a term used for horses.
 
I think my irritation (mentioned a couple of posts above) features much larger in my life than any of yours in your life.

I find him whiney Satan. I saw his bum and it was a horrible bum :-)

After the acid took hold (no objection to acid of course)! after Sgt Pepper the Beatles and his music changed and lost its appeal for me. I try not to remember him. :-)

I don't care about him either way.
 
Folks that suddenly develop an accent when speaking to our black bros and sistas. Their accent is understandable, English is not their mother tongue, you on the other hand sound like a retard.

That too, but no doubt the favour is returned. I saw an elderly man explode at my local Checkers when the cashier rattled off to her colleague, unbeknownst that this chap understood everything she had said. The guy fired back in her language and called the manager over. They were talking nonsense about him and he heard it all. Her face was priceless.
 
The following type of idiots in the road:
The drivers whom speed up when overtaken

Those future to be roadkills whom walk/jog in the road with their mates besides them and seem to think it's impossible to gtfo the road when you try pass them.

Those whom jump the traffic queues.
 
The big trend now, especially in business speak is to begin answering a question with 'So....'

Q: "Your ROI is exceptional, what are the reasons?"

A: "So, we looked at innovative ways to maximize synergies and unlock potential going forward, let me unpack how we did that..."

Business jargon and buzzwords like 'community','social media','viral','start-up', etc. is all just puffery.
