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.
Ditto.

People who use LOL in face to face conversation

or any other "Internet speak"(another irksome phrase, mostly used by those trying to justify saying "LOL" or "PWNED")

Quote from school : A "Lol, he just got teh PONED!"
Me "What did you just say?"
A "Lol, its internet speak you 'tard"
Me "...We're not on... the internet?"
A "I DONT FUCKING CARE YOU DOUCHE!"

"Excuse me, but 'He' has a name!"
Arrrggghhh! This really, really annoys me. 'He' is a perfectly acceptable part of the English language, why do people try eliminating it from all use? When its has already been indicated who you are talking about it is fine and correct to just say'He/She' instead of saying their name again.
So yeah I agree with you quite strongly on choosing that one... The twilight one too... In fact all your choices were quite accurate.
Yeah, I personally find that one the most annoying out of my list. I mean, at least the first three are down to ignorance of a certain subject and the last one is just people expressing their belief to other people.

And "An History". Could people please piss off with that one. MY GOD. You don't say "A istory", not even cockneys miss out the H in History. Why? Because they say A, not an. Stop correcting me because of your poor understanding of grammar, rather than mine.

And further more, when people say "She has a name" they sometimes go one worse and use the hugely annoying phrase; "Who is 'she' the cats mother?" I don't know if they use that phrase where you come from but it annoys me so much!

The words 'workoholic' and 'chocoholic'. Unless of course, you've actually invented and then become addicted to substances called workohol or chocohol.

People like that..
That was unbelievable. This. Definately this.

I pick up on things every now and then that annoy me, the current one is "actually". Its a complete non-word, I can't think of a single sentence where it can't just be removed.
"I think you'll find that, actually, it was Humphrey Davy who invented the light bulb" becomes "I think you'll find that it was Humphrey Davy who invented the light bulb". Why was there an "actually" there?
(coincidentally, if ever you want to try a new drinking game, watch QVC and have a shot every time they use the word "actually" you'll be completely trolleyed in no time)
I had an IT teacher like that last year, every other word was "actually". The funny thing was she didn't even notice until she threatened someone with detention by saying "if you actually don't start working I'm actually going to put you in detention". The rest of the lesson consisted of the class shouting things such as "my mouse isn't actually working" and "the actual computer actually just crashed".

Along with this is a one I haven't heard for a while now which is dropping "to the" from sentances. Everyday I would hear people saying things like "You going super market after school?", "you going pub tonight?".

Prople that use the 2nd person plural contraction "ya'll".
People saying "holler"
Basically any of those southern not-words.
It drives me up the way when people append "you know" to every sentence.
My #1 complaint is how some guys talk, best exemplified by Parez(sp?) Hilton
I really hate when people call people "Prople" (ok so I'm poking fun at you my bad, or do people here hate that two worder too?) I hate when people spell y'all wrong, it's a contraction of you all not ya and 'll. And when people take (or) give surnames as first names. Pérez is a Castilian surname not a first name.

in english, people ending every single sentence with the words "you know?"
in spanish, there is a redundant way of speaking that annoys me beyond any measure, a translated example would be:
"I was going to the school, I was"
"You cannot go there, you cannot"
I mean, wtf.

oh and people speaking of things they don't know as if they were experts
I hate it when people call the Castilian language Spanish, Spain came along way after Castile, don't y'all know world history?

If anyone who is having a conversation with me says the word 'booty' or 'tap that', I get an unbearable urge to slit their throats...

I also hate 'that's what she said'
it's gotten old within the first week and hasn't aged well

"I would like to axe you something."

People who quote popular shows and don't tell people who are unfamiliar where its fron, effectively stealing the joke.

Sorry about the typo, didn't mean to.
As for "ya'll/y'll" I just spelled it the way it sounds, and I knew what it was a contraction of. And you are thinking of a different guy than me. I am talking about this guy: (it is spelled perez, my bad)

Dude that's cool, I was just having a little fun, so you do know that y'all is a contraction of you all. Anywhoozal (or do you people hate that too?, My bad, y'all people) Yeah Pérez is the correct spelling, WHAT AM I SAYING, I'M SUCH A HYPOCRIT, I don't even use the acute accent 99.99999% of the time it's a bad hábito. But at least castilian is somewhat more phoneticly spelled so just knowing it's pronounced paydeth I can at spell it right. Anyways laters.

People who apparently work in the Department of Redundancy Department, and type their PIN number into the ATM machine.

I really hate "you know", you know?

I also get annoyed at English people saying sKedule instead of schedule. We know that the Americans have caned our fine language, but that is not an excuse for copying them. Add 'erb and aluminum to that list too.
You would hate me for both of those.

For me, though, it's people who use irregardless. I'm okay with made up words, I use them all the damn time, but that one just pisses me off.

When people say something they think is funny and immediately follow it up with a loud, obnoxious, "UMMMM," as if to say, "Please laugh at that because I didn't plan on saying anything afterwards." I don't know if anybody else has noticed this but it annoys me to no end.

And if no one laughs, they have to go through a few "uhh, so yeah" and stutter a bit until they can find a way to save face. Maybe if you integrated the joke into the sentence instead of expecting everybody to find it hilarious, people would appreciate the comedic timing enough to find it funnier.

I'll agree with everyone who has said they hate "you know?". Those two words alone made replaying Final Fantasy X unbearable. I swear, that phrase must come up at least 100 times in it.

People who start conversations over IM with "Hello/hi/hey Danielle".
I don't know why but it pisses me off when people say my name to greet me on any kind of IM chat. Because it's not like it's real life where they could say "hi" and nobody would know who they were talking to. They obviously clicked on my name, so they know its me, and i'm going to see their message regardless of what it says, so adding in my name won't make me more likely to realise they're speaking to me.
