It makes me so angry. Does this make anyone else pull their hair out?
I couldn't care less. I save my anger for more important issues.

No, but I hate it when people use double negatives as in "I haven't done nothing" or, most often in EastEnders, "I ain't dun nuffin".
The most annoying thing in EE at the moment is when Chelsea keeps saying 'arks' instead of 'ask'.

My pet bug is when people say
"You can't have your cake and eat it."
Well of course you can, that's the whole idea.
What you cannot do is what the proper phrase says.
"You can't eat your cake and have it." Which as we all know is impossible as once you have eaten it it's gone.
Glad I'm not the only one who finds the little things like this irritating sometimes.

Meaning, it's so cheap, even double would be cheap.

My aunt was always saying "You've made your bed, now lie on it!". 
Another thing she and her sister used to say to my cousin and me when we went out for the night was "Have a good time, but don't do anything to shame us". One night when I was putting on my face before going out her little son said to me "Have you got a boyfriend? Is his name Seamus?"

My nan once said to one of her neighbours 'you look well - have you been run over?' We asked what the hell she was on about and she said 'it's just an expression'!
I've never heard that one before.
When I was a child and I pulled a face my gran would always say "You should be careful, the wind will change and you'll stay like that."
Did anyone else's gran say that? And does anyone know why?

My mum used to say that!
You know, this thread is going to lead us back to some of Blanche's famous lines! There was a funy one last week but I can't remember it! Smurfy?

I hate when people say axe for ask.
Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond) does that.

Chimley for chimney; cerstificte fror certificate and skellington for skeleton. Norridge for Norwich and billyon for billion are also extremely annoying.

Mispronunciations.
