Yes - bad grammar (especially when it appears in very basic sentence construction) - "could of" and "would of" being two of the most annoying.

Also, any sentence with a random and meaningless "innit" tacked onto the end.

[Alan Medic]

Could of and would of are pretty much how could have and would have sound when spoken my many people. As for innit,you'd need to be aspiring to be a member of a clique to ever use that. It's just plain stupid and annoying. Innit? Feck it.

'We was' is my pet hate.

[Alan Medic]

People who say they can't believe it's only x number of days to Christmas. It's on the same date every year. What's not to believe?

[Louisa]

People who say I can't believe how quickly time goes as you get older. Actually, it goes as the same rate as when you were a kid, except as an adult you have a whole series of worries on top to which make you wish your life away on a daily basis. Same amount of time, it's not changed. You have. Now stop talking about it.

People who buy a fancy 'prestigious' car, park it in the road and then moan when something is stolen off it, or it is damaged. Don't they take the cost of these 'inconveniences' into account? I know I do- living around here

I think you miss the point that as people get older they appreciate time here more as they understand it's finite. When you are young you don't, and that's no bad thing either. Both views are simply the consequence of time or not as the case may be.

'Gifting'...Fookoffing

[Louisa]

People who hog the cheese counter at the supermarket after purchasing what they want. Move out my effing way now!

Cheese as a 'gifting'...Fookoffing

[Help-Ma-Boab]

Deceleration of the fist pump in front of you who, like you has run to get on the tube, then stops almost immediately as they get on. No. Keep on going, there is at least one person behind you.

TV programmes ending with "Next time..." Aaaargh! Either they're spoilers and therefore utterly unwelcome or they're not and therefore pointless. Next time can wait until next time, OK?

WHY isn't spelling properly checked by people who can SPELL in magazines, papers etc?

I have just been leafing through the latest ridiculous free magazine to come through my door (coat for nearly three grand, anyone?) and beneath a headline "Made to Last" (it's about a shoe designer. Hoho. Now puns I don't mind) a sentence starts "Since taking the reigns of Robert Clergerie in 2011 ...."

REIGNS? FFS.

AND another thing, people who write TOW the line when it should be TOE the line.

Oh, and I have irrational rage at myself for posting on here when I've got many many other things I should be doing :))

"Train station"

Seemingly claustrophic/vertigo-suffering bus passengers who will not budge from the lower deck area between driver and rear door.

As a former copytaker and sub-editor I share your pain.

Reach out. Retch up more like.

[KidKruger]

At the local Indian restaurant...

"...And would you like any bread with that order sir ?"

"No, thanks"

"Any Peshwari Nan, sir ?"

"Is that bread ?"

"Yes, sir"

"No thanks"

"Any roti, sir ?"

"Is THAT bread ?"

"Yes, sir"

"No thanks"

"Any poppadums, sir ?"

"If I want anything, I'll be clear about that and will ask for it - thanks"

"Would you like any chapatis, sir"

"Is that bread ?"

"Yes, sir"

"No thanks. In fact, could you pass me back the menu please ?"

"Yes, here, sir"

*reading from the top, increasinGLY LOUDLY*

"I also would NOT like any:

onion bhajis,

chicken pakora,

prawn cocktail,

1/4 tandoori chicken starter,

*EVEN LOUDER*

sheek kebab,

shami kebab,

mulligatawny soup,

*waiter looks around nervously*

spring lamb chops,

samosa,

mango chutney,

lime pickle,

mint sauce,

onion salad"

"OK, OK, sir"

"Do we understand each other ? I can continue, if absolutely necessary"

"No sir, thank you sir"

Ok, so the express self service tills are to speed things along

So what's with the phone and purse in one hand, the other emptying the goods from the basket onto the bag platform

Then once the sodding basket is near empty and after a few fails that require the 'till monitor' to decode the process, we ask for a bag

Then to take the goods again and one handed (in case you break your stupid plastic nails off) you proceed to cackhandedly stuff the goods into a bag

Then if you like, answer your phone at the same time.

You cannot 'task' let alone multi-task, FFS

[Sue]

People who post on here at 6.30am cause me irrational rage.

How on earth are you awake at such an ungodly hour?! Or have you been awake all night??
