    People who say:

    Hello YOU! instead of 'hello (name)' or just 'hello'.

    'I work hard and play hard'. These people seem to see themselves as human dynamos or high achievers, when in fact they are just utter tossers.

    'I'm a bit mad, me!' Says it all really.

    'End of' instead of 'end of story' (which is bad already).

    Actually, I like the first one, it's rather sweet.

    But I agree with your other three. 'Work hard play hard' reminds me of 80s City of London types, the types that have got us into this s**t in the 2000s... :mad:

    The use of 'simples' by any adult just makes me violent.

    Instead of ''Pardon'', my father frequently bellows ''UH !?!'' or ''WHA!?!" It bloody drives me insane !! Especially when he does it in public. :o

    Most of these phrases - "simples", "my bad" and "oh my days" for example - were mildly endearing at first but are overused. You're not a tw*t for still saying them, just a bit lacking in original thought.

    My personal gripe is the word "street" when describing a person. All that word conjures up in my mind are scary looking youths with a bad attitude and a propensity to crime. Nowt "cool" about that. God that reminds me I hate when people say "nowt" instead of nothing when they're not from Yorkshire.

    MP and media talk of the "green shoots of recovery" is fair getting on my t1ts. So overused.

    "Oh I didn't see you there! "

    Yes you did or you'd have said "Hi there".

    When people say they didn't see you there, like on a bus, I always feel that they did. Maybe it's just me as there greeting would be 'hello' when they first saw you .....

    I'm rambling now, I know!

    When someone on the phone having a go at you says "I'm not having a go at you but..." well, you're shouting and I'm the one you're shouting at so....

    I don't like that people are saying things like "I'll see you in the pub Tuesday" no, you'll see me in the pub *on* Tuesday.

    And I find that people write "Thankyou" with no space, very odd. It is 2 words.

    And I also hate "it's him off of the telly" you don't need to see the of, just say "off the telly", why bother adding a word in when it's not needed?

    Random and randoms are now EVERYWHERE! Photo albums on facebook are now 'Randoms' or 'Random night out' and there is nothing whatsoever random about them. Unless random now means 'boring' or 'self-absorbed tossers'.

    'Awesome' meaning slightly better than okay :rolleyes:.

    'Get a life' when not said jocularly is a nasty, spiteful phrase.

    I love how it's always 'Poole in Dorset'. Poole is never said without being suffixed by 'in Dorset'. I can't think of any other large or well-known town/city that suffers the same fate. FFS we all know Poole is in Dorset! :D

    "of an evening/of an afternoon, etc", e.g. "what a fun thing to do of an evening" has always struck me as a bit of an arsey thing to say.

    Oooh a real pet hate, when people end a business letter with "please do not hesitate to contact me". I mean, what the hell does that actually mean and what is a good alternative as all of my bosses use it and I want to impress them by suggesting something still formal but better?

    I blame Radio One DJs for that. They say things like "so-and-so off of EastEnders" and for some bizarre reason it has caught on amongst unoriginal types.
