For me, it's people using their knife and fork incorrectly.

Degsy

People licking thier fingers..Ya cant be that bloody hungry!!

brummytom

+1 with regard to the knives and folks; I'm left-handed and can still hold them the right way round, why can't other people?!

Bad grammar - I know that sounds pathetic, but it really does annoy me; particularly using americanised spelling (Offence )

That's ironic, considering your username.

Not just a dig at the OP, but people that really care about etiquette piss me off. Manners are important, but where it becomes etiquette it becomes utter tripe.

Ah, I don't think so!

If you're rude about the way you eat in company, I think it shows a lack of both dignity and respect for the people you're around.

Ok - I will admit the it's or its one is very easy to mix up.

It's = It is.
Its = the possessive of it.

Suprised no one even thought of posting that until now lol :pac:

TheZohanS

Here's an odd one; the saying "I love <insert object of affection here> to bits".

You love something/someone enough for them to be in bits?!

I think you'll find it's spelled M-U-S-E-U-M.

When people call the Gardas pigs.

I don't know, it might be considered unusual because I'm not a Garda but have a little respect ffs.

A Neurotic

Inexplicable American accents. They're everywhere.

There are people in my school (my old school, I should say) who have never been to the States, have Irish parents, and yet somehow manage to sound vaguely American. It kills me.

Spin South West, 2FM, Xtravision - all have been put on my sh*tlist for using American accents in their advertising. WHY? It pisses me right off...

IvySlayer

People who call ketchup 'Red Sauce'

It has a ****ing name so use it.

No, I'm all for precise speech and stuff, but I'm talking about an actual American accent here. Phrasing sentences like they're questions springs to mind?

Thats a French thing more so... it could of been a manner of speaking taken in by the yanks... but sure do we not use reverse negatives in our own way also?
