CHEWING GUM IN THE MOUTH AND THEN SPAT ON THE FLOOR AFTERWARDS ???

Swearing. If I am allowed a second - would of/could of/should of instead of would have/could have/should have. I am in agreement with Americanisms too.

Nosy neighbours.

S/he "turned round and said" - do they spin round when talking?!

My bad

Young people who misuse the word ‘like’, e.g ‘I was like, wow’ etc. Sometimes I count the number of ‘likes’ in a sentence (yes, I know, sad ..,). I read some time ago of a school which had banned misuse of the word and almost, like, cheered.

Peoples inability to make even the simplest of decisions without consulting all friends for hours on end

Mamma66 Thu 10-Jun-21 13:43:11

The fashion for young white people to insist on using language / phrases originating from other communities. Particularly using language/ expressions which are part of the speech patterns of people from the Afro Caribbean communities. It drives me nuts and sounds ridiculous

'bored of', should be 'bored with'

Most tv adverts, especially the (nameless) woman with her fringe blocking her view who will ‘protect you daily’

Unkindness and rudeness

Bellanonna. I love wood pigeons, except when we are camping and they start at daybreak. I always think that they are saying “You did do something.. You DID do something!” ?

Kayteetay1 Thu 10-Jun-21 13:52:41

Overuse of the word “like”

GreenGran78 Thu 10-Jun-21 13:57:31

Lucca. ‘Hubby’ is bad, but Hubster’ is worse!
