Ok, the Phrase "you can't have your cake and eat it too" makes me want to punch people in the kidneys because if I have some cake I damn sure want to eat it, I mean why wouldn't I? What phrases make you crazy mad?

"Literally". Because people always use it with things that aren't literal. Drives me up the wall.

I hate anything that comes out the Space Marine's mouths in Warhammer 40K because my friends repeat it to frustration point.
Here is a simulation of the last time I hang out with them, I kid you not:

For the Emperor
For the Emperor
For the Emperor
For the Emperor
For the Emperor
Die Xenos
Die Xenos
Die Xenos
Die Xenos
Hail the Imperium
Hail the Imperium
Hail the Imperium
Hail the Imperium
Faith is my shield
Faith is my shield
Faith is my shield
Faith is my sheild

Over and over and over again. They are so annoying that they have officially succeded in making me hate my own species. Well played I guess.
To hell with Space Marines.

"Well that's just your opinion." That is the most annoying phrase I have heard in my life. Of course it's my opinion, I said it without quoting someone. I believe Maddox summed it up nicely.

I also hate it when people say 'technically speaking' when the topic is biology.

"Hotting up."

TV commercials for drama and reality shows have taken to saying this. I could've sworn the word was HEATING DAMMIT!

That's because that's a bastardisation of the saying "you cant eat your cake and have it to" meaning you can't have everything. I know this because I'm the same but I looked it up after so long to correct people

oh and I don't know how often this occurs where any of you live but I hate it when some one tells someone else they will call them later by saying "I'll holler at'cha later" or asks them to call them by saying "Holler at me later" or any variation on that. I believe this may be a regional occurrence, for I do live in the South East of the U.S.

"Well that's a double edged sword." Just because everything is a double edged sword, even single edged swords, because, ya know, one side is sharp but the other side is kinda dull and you can't really do anything with it.

"I'll give you the warm fuzzy." What the fuck did you just say?

"Let's touch base." Trust me, honey, you ain't touching none of my bases.
I hate you.

Thanks to those last two, I now know what it feels to have fizzy Sundrop shoot through my nose.

My mind has drawn a blank.

I'm still contemplating the horror that is a no slotted toaster.

WHERE DO MY POP-TARTS GO DAMMIT?

When people say they "shouldn't of" done something. It's shouldn't have dammit all! Have.

"I personsonally", well of course it's you personally Einstein, who else did you think you were?

"No offence meant but.." or saying something ending in "no offence". If it's likely to cause offence don't say. Shut up. Now. No I don't care that you have something to say. Shush.

"Fairly unique"; well..is it unique..or isn't it?

Signs that say "-50% off everything!". If it's -50% being deducted then it's two negatives, therefore adding 50% to the prices you sneaky sneaky retailers.

"That's so emo". Emo is a noun, not an adjective, and it's meaning is already so diluted it's sickening. Emo= Emotionally Hardcore Punk Rock, not a whiny suburban kid with a razor, they came later, the punk came first. And you can't use a noun as an adjective without looking like a fool anyway.

The misuse of the word "random" in the place of "dicking about". You didn't act randomly, you acted on impulse.

"Lush!" If you like something, very well. But your car is not, and never will be, lush. Greenery can be lush, meaning luxuriant and abundant. There is not an abundance of your car, you only have one, and it would not go well in salad.

That's my ranting list over for now. I'll post again if I can think of others.

"I could care less" NO! You couldn't care less! Saying it the first way means that you actually care.

"I like Michael Bay movies." This one is probably the worst.

"At the end of the day..." I had never heard this until I moved to England. It is favoured by football players and other idiots. I once heard someone using it in every single sentence they said, sometimes twice. I can not begin to describe the very special hell this phrase sends me to.

Used by a similar demographic, and equally deserving in that special hell, is "Do I look bothered?" or, more likely "Do ah luk bovvad?!" to which the correct answer is "Yes, yes you do. You are glaring and raising your voice, indicating an increase in stress."

At least that is just them copying a comedian. "At the end of the day" appears to have come into existence for the sole purpose of driving me slowly insane.

Oh noes, my friend, a lot better than "I like Uwe Boll movies"
I would like to disagree with that statement. Mainly because no one says they like Uwe Boll movies (although House of the Dead is a guilty pleasure, it is just so damn bad). However, these days a lot of people say they like Michael Bay and more people know who he is. Not as many people know about Uwe Boll.

I hate when I say something to people that they don't like or agree with and they reply "You can't say that!" ---Yes I can. I just fucking did. The proper response should be "You shouldn't say that!" or "You shouldn't have said that!"

Also a pet peeve of mine is when someone says they will pray for you. Like say you get hit by a drunk driver and are paralyzed and someone says 'I'm gonna pray for you.'---Oh thank you so much. Thank you for bringing my plight before God. What, now God might want to help me? Where was His help when I got hit by the car? I guess if "I" prayed my prayers wouldn't be good enough, but if we lobbied God together maybe He could pass a bill allowing me the use of my legs?
