The worst one for me is when they say 'I could care less' instead of 'I couldn't care less'. It doesn't make sense!Or when they say London, England. Paris, France. Rome, Italy. I could write a whole list of things Americans say that I can’t abide. The way they pronounce the name Craig like Cregor leg as lay-ig. Apologies if you’re reading this and you’re American btw

Regional though. Like a brummie saying ‘hospical’ for hospital or Essex accent saying ‘ast’ instead of ‘asked’. I can’t abide the Fake ‘posh’ affected voice of people like VB of making Ts into Ds... “My liddle daughder Would like some warder to drink’The way they pronounce the name Craig like Creg
Stop making up new words!
Today’s annoying thing: ‘I was today years old’ ... it was funny the first time
I HATE the T into D thing. A youtuber I (hate) watch does it all the time and it honestly angers me more than it should.Regional though.

The today years old thing can do one too.
Today years old doesn't bother me much but the new trend of How it started vs how it's going can absolutely do one.
Omg this was seriously going through my head last night
I’ve heard it being said so many times I was questioning myself thinking that maybe I was saying it wrong This is so immensely satisfying to me! I’m also not a cat fan. So I’ll add... when people show you loads of photos of their cat doing “hilarious” or “cute” things and you have to just nod and smile. Likewise, children.
I love cats so disagree with the first (but to be fair if I know someone isn't a cat person I don't show them pics) but the children one 100% and I never know how to react other than aww how cute (probably in a totally disengenuous tone
)
I don‘t get it. I’ve looked up the meaning and I‘m still none the wiser.
I think it's just a really convoluted way of saying that today was the first day they did a certain thing. Eg, 'I was today years old when I found out the meaning of this stupid expression'. It is really dumb and the first time I encountered it I had to run it through my head a few times to try and work out what it meant.
Viewing this forum on a smartphone, don't know how people manage it.
I have to be careful how I word this, because I don't want to upset my partner. People who pronounce chimney as chimley. My partner has a habit of doing this, I wouldn't mind but the word does not have an L in it.
I'm sure there are a whole catalogue of things that I do, that annoy my partner.

Food based words/phrases I hate - ‘picky tea’ , eggy bread (it’s French toast!), spag bol 
, cheeky Nando’s, jacket potato (it’s BAKED potato), gelato, burger. I don’t hate eating these things, just the sound of the words. I realise jacket potato is a weird one but I do really detest it. It’s baked potato (tottie) or nothing for me.
I also can’t stand the phrase ‘oh that’s a bit of me’ or when influencers or adverts say ‘is this a bit of you?’ All smug
makes me throw up in my mouth a bit.

I'm guessing he's from the North? When I was a kid, at the school Nativity plays, half the school used to sing 'When Santa got stuck up the chimley'. Not me though, I always spoke proper 
This omg. If you could care less, then you clearly do care some amount! It drives me nuts, right up there with "could of" instead of could have.
Yes!! Unfortunately my husband is English so we have the debate often
he has actually started calling it French toast but I'm not sure if he's noticed .- Status
