The word ‘just’ when used in any sort of advice, especially with technology, as in ‘you just press button A then button B followed by X and Z while rubbing your left ear and Bob’s your uncle.’

I forgot this one :
Being shown footage of(normally sports ) presenters/pundits reactions to the events that they are commentating(is that a word?)on.
So you get footage of the backs of people shouting, whooping and jumping up and down...........for your entertainment(not).
Drives me mad........
