Have you ever heard people say things that always get on your nerves?

For example, I hate it when people ask for fries at Mcdonalds by saying chips instead of fries. Its so annoying when they say that.

As Alph said 'Can I get'.

The Aussie cricket team started saying when asked a question 'Look' and then following that up with the rest of their answer.

Thing is, your listening to them, unless lip reading them. You dont need to say 'Look' just say you bowled well or whatever.

Now, other people are starting to do it, the pricks

They are not chips as I have never had a chip that looks or tastes like that from my local chippy.

It would be an insult to a British chippy if they were called chips.

Pretty much everything said by candidates on, 'The Apprentice'.

Highlights include, ' There's no me in team.' I was also quite taken by the woman who wanted to teach people, 'to read or write'. Why not both?

"The phrase 'moving forward'. I hate it so much, and find its often said by arsehole managers. Or. " it won't happen overnight " which means. It's never gonna fuckin happen "

I once had a boss speak to us when the co. was re-organising, he used the 'It won't happen overnight...line, and likened it to turning a big ship around, saying it was like turning the Titanic around. He clearly hadn't heard how that ended.

Yeah I'm not sure that counts, I'm no English expert but isn't that correct as your going to a building owned by tesco so it would be tescos, just like saying I'm going to my mums or I'm going to a friends , neither are plural but your referring to their dwelling and not the person in particular.

More to the point, I hate this one because 'Feds' is a reference to American police which obviously doesn't apply to Britain (as in the UK has no Federal government)
