Ignoring all the stupid slang and obvious misuse of words (after all, they annoy most people capable of speaking their language properly) I would have to go with people who say 'oh well' after you have told them about a problem.

Me: "My cars fucked and I need it for work tomorrow."
Them: "Oh well, it's not the end of the world."

Yet when the slightest problem happens to them they expect 100% sympathy or you are a bastard.

Every third word my sister says is "like"

It makes me die inside (though it can be pretty fun to count it behind her back when she's talking - I think the highest I got to was 33 during a rather short conversation, before she noticed I was counting and she stopped talking)

People who say 'like' a lot. People who say ingin instead of engine. People who call it the Specific Ocean. Sentences that aren't using Twilight in a derogatory way. People who say Twenty-Ten (you didn't call last year twenty-nine). People who say "I done that" instead of "I did that". People who aren't American speaking like Americans. People who try to use big words to sound smarter and get the words and their meanings wrong. People who use the 'term' BFFS 4 EVA. The term "Near Miss" (IT SHOULD BE "NEAR HIT!")

I probably have more, but writing about things that annoy me annoys me.

Oh I know, right? I know ,right? I know, right? I know, right?
Yeah like is pretty bad.
I hate it when people say 'i know, right?' and 'winner winner chicken dinner' it's soooo fucking annoying.

Oh, there are so very many. I try my best to ignore them. If I ever notice myself starting to slip into terrible verbal habits I'll internally reprimand myself though.

I do have an annoying habit of using words such as "actually", "well", "really" and "sort of/kind of" when explaining things instead of just cutting to the chase and saying what I mean. It's irritating.

When people talk about things they obviously know nothing about, like they are experts or something

When they get much and many mixed up, when they say hell too many times, when they imply complete bizarre things that are dumb but they think are smart and when they get in and un mixed up.

Adding "I'm not gonna lie" to every sentence.
A fairly new one, just saying "sad day" in general.
"Chillax"... NO! Just... NO!!!!

'Like, I totally loved that MCR DVD, ohmygod.'

You're Irish! Stop talking like a spoiled Californian! Jesus christ.

Not being misogynist, but I've no idea why they all talk like that.
ARE YOU GOYS GETTING THE DORT?

Yes that tops my list. That Pseudo-American accent grinds my brain cells.

For me... I hate it when my professors use "um" or "like" or "so" with every alternate word (trust me they've done this, and yes, they are native speakers). I'm paying at least some portion of their salaries damn it, I have every right to expect better than that! (I've also noticed that the professor also tends to be total crap when he/she leans on these "words" too much, and quickly becomes difficult to understand)

Now, as for something in actual conversation...
every time my mother or anyone else who hasn't played a game in their lives condemns the whole medium as a useless waste of time. I would mind that less if they had actually played some games... you know... so that they actually had SOME basis for their opinions... but no, getting them to play anything would be asking too much of them.

People who say, "I don't even know" at the end of everything.

Also, college guys who ask me if I am in college to get my MRS Degree. It makes me want to kick them in the balls.

Referring to a video game console as the disc that goes into it.

You know what I'm talking about.

When people use literally to mean figuratively or when it's completely obvious that they meant what they said literally since it doesn't even have a figurative meaning.
