Stupid little things that bug you

My dishwasher has 7 programs. We use 2, quick wash and what I call ‘normal’.
No idea what the other five do.
I bought a washing machine recently and selected the one with the fewest options for that very reason.

"Can I get a ...?" When buying something.

What was wrong with "I'd like a .." or "may I have a..".

So pretentious - it's not a phrase that we all hear, all the time, so people have presumably consciously decided to adopt the expression?

The English I was taught back in the 50s is a world away from how people speak and write today.
I made a recent online purchase, the seller, in error, sent me two items (only 1 paid for). I sent an email informing them of this. Their reply...
"How you "gt twice", you "wanna" keep and pay, "gonna" discount for you". If not "snd bk".
I was sarcastic in my response "Sorry my friend, I only speak English".
Their response was "Keep it "thks".
 
Waitresses that say "Enjoy"

Dog owners who think everyone is fine with their dirty, stinking, potentially dangerous mutt sniffing around you when you're peacefully sitting, minding your own business. "Don't worry, he's very friendly" ... Yes, I'm sure he is... until he isn't!

People who drive up your backside when you're sticking to the speed limit. A system that has become increasingly monitored and punished by big fines.

We always tell people who approach that our dog is reactive and and them not to try to pat him or get too close.

There's always some (usually doddery old) twat who thinks they're a fucking dog whisperer, who ignores any boundaries that we set up.

They invariably say something like "my dog was like that but...", probably omitting to say that their dog was put down for biting someone.

Tossers.
