Another one. People who add 'to be honest' at the end of every sentence. I hate them almost much as the 'to be fair' people!
Someone recently sent me a text message: 'Go f*ck yourself, tbh'. TBH???? Why TBH?! What relevence has honesty got, when you are telling someone to f*ck themselves??

I work with someone who starts every sentence with "Guess what..." or "guess who..." "Guess what's broken down" "Guess who's off sick"... Just tell me! I don't have time for guessing games. grrrr
"Everyone does it" or "Everyone says it" - they don't know that "everyone" does. Saying it also makes their argument for doing the same thing or criticising other people's behaviour look very weak.
Obvious grammatical errors, such as "I done" & "I seen", make me wince. I couldn't speak like that because it sounds so incredibly wrong to me, yet it's something that some people seem to have taken up in the last couple of years. If they weren't speaking like that before, why start doing it now?
Replacing a "g" with a "k", for instance when the word "something" becomes "somethink", sounds dreadful. It might be the current way of doing things for some people, but it makes them sound rather stupid. I couldn't help laughing one day when a colleague said "somethink" & another one interjected with "Clearly not you" - it took the other colleague ages to realise what the comment referred to, & I think she only got it when someone else explained it to her.

How very true. The amount of times I want to scream at the TV "speak for yourself!"
I worked with a bloke who kept saying "no problem at all" over and over again day in, day out. It made me want to scream.
One point that puzzles me is why, when talking about interest rate rises (or falls) news programmes refer to "a quarter of one per cent". It's hardly likely to be a quarter of 7 per cent is it ?
Also the BBC Radio 4 news constantly uses phrases such as "the American state of Texas" or "he American state of Ohio".
I think we all know where Texas and Ohio are. Georgia may need some clarification though as there's two of 'em.

There's a good reason for that. If you look here, you'll see places where states & cities have the same name, or where the name of a city is the same as another state. For instance, there's a Nevada City in Nevada, but there's also one in California. There's Arkansas City in Kansas, but there's Kansas in Alabama, Illinois & Oklahoma. There's an Iowa in Louisiana, and there are a lot of Washingtons. American states & cities can be very confusing, even to people who live there.
My ultimate hatred is people who say 'Smile it might never happen' :mad:
That has got to be the most ignorant, stupid thing to say to somebody, especially when it comes from a stranger who has no clue what is going on in your life at that moment in time!
Just because I'm not grinning like some broadmoor escapee as I shop around ASDA for baked beans doesn't mean I'm unhappy. Just obviously not as easily pleased as you.

One of my friends has got a face that does look miserable unless she's grinning like a cartoon cat, but she can't help that. She heard 'Smile, it might never happen' so many times that she got her brother to make her a T-shirt that said "I am happy. My face just doesn't like yours". When people used to pass comment about her face, she'd point at the message on her T-shirt.

Haha I like that!
I don't think I look especially miserable at all - just normal. Maybe it's only me that thinks walking around grinning like some kind of psychopath would look a little odd

Apparently Gibraltar can be confusing to Syrian lorry drivers as well
Back on topic, as has already been mentioned, the dreaded "smile, it might never happen". I used to be told that by drunks at the end of of a 7.5 hour night shift.
