X2. I can't stand that. Another on is the term Red-neck.

I hate when people can't or won't spell.
How often have you seen "noone"?
Is that "noon" (usually not) or "no one" (usually yes by context).
I honestly think it is all the "txt spk" that cause a lot of spelng erors.

One I really hate is on my day off the wife stands in front of me,hands on hips and asks(in THAT tone) "So,what are your plans today?"
That really means "Your plans better include working your ass off around here.The list is on the table,get it done and last hour of daylight is all yours"

I hate when a person is using 100 times "You know" in a conversation.

"Having said that" or "That being said"...
Don't know why, but it drives me nuts! Maybe it is because I sit beside a guy at work who uses it way too much!

Guys that say they "love" their gun, binoculars, bow or anything else hunting related. You can say it shoots well, binos are very clear........but love, that is what little kids say about their dolly, or chocolate chip cookies.

"But they're just kids" Is not an excuse for "kids" to be running wild in a public place or wrecking things or other peoples property

Someone driving a pickup isnt a trucker. Ok unless he's a trucker

What`s wrong with Redneck?My brother in law just spent 4 hours fixing my siezed up brakes on my Rhino for free.His nickname is Redneck,a Medicine Hat farmer boy,with a red neck and a great mechanical ability.Only guys who don`t like the handle are guys who never could be a true redneck.
Maybe we could call them pink necks.

Wow! You people must have a lot of stress in your life! It must suck to have so many tiny things push your buttons like these seem to.

People don't use "Apt" appropriately. And loose instead of lose.There's nothing fine about a "Fine", it's theft.

epic. . .the word is being used far to frequently lately
uber. . .we are not in Germany, the preferred language is English
well actually. . .my sister's mother-in-law uses it ALL THE TIME
EXPIRED when referring to a person that has recently died. . .they are NOT milk from the refrigerator, they do not have a Best Before date, they are DEAD!
any sort of text talk. . .there was a commercial on a couple of months ago where a mother was trying to discipline her child and the girl spoke text talk. . .omg tstnf (oh my god that's so totally not fair) 
tune up. . .customer saying "I want a tune up on my car," you want the spark plugs changed?, "no I want a tune up". . .when they mean oil change
politically correct words, handi-capable, vertically challenged, visually challenged. . .African American. . .were you born in Africa? No? then you're American plain and simple, you will not see me referring to myself as European Canadian because my ancestors over 100 years ago came from Europe, do not refer to yourself as African American if you are NOT from Africa!!

I don't really hate any specific words really, except for "asap"
What I hate more is when guys talk like this
