'is your husband babysitting?' actually that's not an irrational one. It annoys the fuck out of me.

'I am eating my meal'. No you're not, you're eating your breakfast/dinner/tea/lunch/supper/whatever you want to call it, not your meal.

'With all due respect...'

Any sentence following this fucking annoying caveat is guaranteed to be disrespectful. If you want to be rude, go for it. Don't bother trying to be polite immediately prior.

What on earth with the word meal?

I'm eating my meal is a strange turn of phrase but hardly offensive.

I can't stand any sentence with the word belly in it and anyone who says or writes gotten deserves to be garrotted.

'That'll learn you' and 'will you borrow me some money' and 'can I lend some money'.

I can cope with 'yum' but 'yummy' makes me want to peer icily at people over my pince nez and tell them they are no longer 5.

Even if they are 5.

I hate 'taking this forward', 'actioning this' and 'brainstorming'.

"Let me tell you what it is..." when they are phoning me for the service I provide.
Yes, please. Do tell. It helps as my mindreading is really shit.

I don't know why this riles me so much, but it does

Any sentence that ends in 'or'. "Are you coming or..."

Or what????.

At the end of the day...

So I turned around and said (always starts the ballerinas off in my head)

Most sentences with the word 'literally' in it. Is it?

When your train is cancelled or delayed, etc etc: "We apologise for any inconvenience that may have been caused." Of course inconvenience has been caused, bastards!
