    Do you ever get irritated in a conversation when people presume to know what you're thinking?

    My #1: "Don't get me wrong", when I've not given a person any impression that I've misunderstood them.

    Not in spoken conversation, but online:

    "I know I'll get banned for this... *rolleyes*"

    or

    "This is going to be a really unpopular opinion/people are going to hate me for this. .." followed by a populist, simplistic, poorly thought-out opinion that lots of people agree with.

    "I mean, ....."

    As the first word of the first sentence somebody says.

    "I mean" comes AFTER you've said something. It's not an introduction.

    A classic London phrase is "not being funny, but..." followed by unbelievable rudeness.

    Saying "literally" for anything but.

    "I literally died right then and there I was so embarrassed!"

    "He literally broke a leg trying to get there as fast as possible"

    etc.
