Stupid little things that bug you

I really do grimace whenever I hear people say "Twenny" instead of twenty. It is now becoming prevalent, even with BBC presenters. I was watching athletics on the BBC last weekend and before the start of the 200 meters race, the commentator was giving all the athlete's best times. He must have said "Twenny" about thirty times in as many seconds.

Also, why do some athletes make silly gestures when being announced to the crowd?

Have you used "foo fyba" internet, to type this?
 
Outdoor barbecues when the wind is in the wrong direction and all the smoke comes in your kitchen or living room.
 
YouTubers saying this is taking the world by storm,on anything from recipes to stupid hacks.
 
People who take an age when using a ATM. I'm waiting in a queue, 2 guys and a middle aged woman before me. Blokes have card in hand, take about 2-3 minutes to complete. Woman gets to the machine and only then starts diving in her shopping bag to find her purse, to find her card. Must have punched the wrong number, she starts muttering and looking at me as if I would know. Has to get her spec's on, has a second go, success this time. Then a long delay while she packs everything away.
I thought I'd time myself, 1 minute 16 seconds, not a world record but a personal best (could have been quicker but had to select "Other Amount".

People who say ‘ff’ instead of ‘th’ sound like little infants who haven’t developed their speech properly yet.

Sky News employs Shingi Mararike who routinely comes out with "free fousand", "vis", "vat", "togevver" "finking", etc. It's bad enough with Beth Rigby and her "thinkin", "doin", "discussin", etc. without another clown broadcasting in slovenly English on the same national TV station. The pair of them are both irritating and unlistenable.
