Stupid little things that bug you

[Kippax77]

The word literally seems the new word with the younger generation.
Went out for tea last week and 3 young women on a table behind us were using this in every sentence they spoke.
After an hour of this I just wanted to scream the place down... literally

Especially when people use the word 'literally' they almost invariably use it incorrectly.

Another Americanism almost as irritating as get-go.

They're designed to stop older people overdosing.

By the time they’ve managed to get one tablet out, they’ve forgotten why they were doing it. ;-)

Why do stand alone programmes like 'The Repair Shop' and 'The Antiques Roadshow' (as opposed to drama series which continue on from the previous episode) feel the need to start with a synopsis of what's going to be contained in the rest of the programme ? Is viewers' boredom threshold so low these days that they cannot be trusted to switch off/over if they don't get 'hooked' by these tasty 'appetisers' served up by the programme makers ? Never used to happen and they add nothing of value - just get on with it.

People who put their mobile on speaker and then have a conversation with the other person, typically shouting so the person on the other end can hear them, wtf? - gits
