Is it just me? or does anyone else feel irritated when you tell a friend or relative something, for example, “I nearly missed my flight after getting caught in traffic. It ended up such a rush at the airport & the reply is “What a shame” or if texting similar, getting same reply, what a shame. Thats just an example ?

‘NO PROBLEM’

"He/she has issues"

No he/she doesn't. He/she has problems.

Another is "It's a big ask". It's doesn't even make sense!

All worthy so far of being on the list ? ok no more LOL ?

Another one of the worst is when people write ‘I should OF been there’ instead of ‘I should have been there’ drives me nuts & ive seen uni students write it.

"A big ask" always makes me smirk a bit.
Sounds like a big arse.

Facebook comments on others peoples selfies when they say ‘absolutely stunning’ when often the selfie is hideous!

Yeah....No , and No....Yeah. Used at the beginning of a sentence and meaning absolutely nothing.

I'll take that on board - in other words I'll completely ignore what you said.

Basically
At the end of the day
Thinking outside the box
Singing from the same hymn sheet
Heads up
Snuck (whatever that means)
Basically I think that's it.
