"Let me interject" that line drives me crazy! Wait your turn and speak your mind (what little you have of it)! Don't interrupt a conversation trying to sound intelligent and then spew nonsense! Sorry, that one got a little personal lol!
What phrases or words drive you over the edge? A few others:
ax (ask) pacifically (specifically) doeno (don't know) yous (all of you) hows come (why)

I have a personal pet peeve about people who say, "To be honest..." What? You aren't honest as a general rule?

"Further more" drives me crazy. I think it has something todo with the fact that my ex always used it, but it is usually at this point I stop listening.

'Baby daddy/mummy'
Good on you/him/her
Must of ( have)
Of used instead of have in any context 😡
Using text speak in normal speech or written medium - - saying f y i- takes just as long as 'for your information ' and just sounds pretentious to me.
I could go on and on and annoy everyone lol

Not my circus, not my monkeys - hate that one
any one who uses the word ON in front of tomorrow, today, yesterday as in I will go to the store on tomorrow
I am blessed, Have a blessed day or anything to do with blessed unless it is a prayer.
I am going to come back and edit as I hear the despised phrases throughout the day.

So. I'm grated by every sentence that starts with "So........." Yes! But even more I despise when people add "So..." to the end of a sentence. Just end it. If you wouldn't write it by adding 'so,' don't add it to your speech. |

My ex would end any argument where he was clearly losing with
'Whatever'
I learned to laugh at it in the end as it really got under his skin 😊

Well seeing as yous is pacifically axing what phrases drive me crazy, to be honest, it's got to be when people start every sentence with 'I mean'. Just saying, but I mean like, basically just stop it. And if I may interject with another, it proper annoys me when people use the word 'proper', like 'it proper annoys me'. How proper annoying is that?
Think outside the box people and stop using these like proper annoying phrases.

"Trust me" (These people should never be trusted.) I agree with uksue about "baby daddy." Whatever happened to "father?" |

"At the end of the day" drives me nuts. I don't know why, but I suspect it's because the Kardashians say it on their show all the time. I just hear it in their weird sounding voices, touching their hair after every word. Now I notice a lot of people saying it, especially reporters.
I don't watch the Kardashians, just for the record. My dd watched it when she still lived at home.

For me, it's a misused word. People use further instead of farther. It's easy...far, farther, farthest for distance!

I don't like the word kindergarten shortened to kindy. I taught kindergarten for 12 years, I didn't teach kindy!  |

'In terms of'.
It's a particular favourite of newsreaders, journalists and political commentators, so the UK news channels are going in terms of crazy at the moment. I had to turn one woman off because she literally could not open her mouth without saying it. And it's such a meaningless thing to say. 'In terms of results, this was a shock'. Just 'This was a shock result" is fine thank you very much.

Preggy or prego instead of pregnant.
My bad instead of a real, sincere apology.

That phrase that bugs me is:
It is what it is.
Even though it's a true statement and sometimes discribes the situation perfectly, I just hate it.
