People who say "me" when it should be "my". And use the word "nan" instead of grandmother. And camp Liverpudlian grown men like Christopher Maloney (X factor) and Ant (Bargain Loving Brits) who bang on about how special "me Nan" was. The combination of that accent and misuse of correct language is so annoying to me. Maybe its a class thing .. so call me a snob.

It’s dialect. But I can’t stand people from the south of England who can’t pronounce “t”s at the end of words.

Angela Rayner who deliberately goes out of her way to try and curry favour with the uneducated by saying "we was". Also very condescending to those people. She knows full well the correct use of the verb to be. Its phoney?

Most people understand that 'are you alright', or even just 'alright' is a greeting, not a question. They're not expecting your full medical history.

I get this totally, I am a Delivery Driver for a supermarket.

I’ll get asked how I am about 15-20 times during a shift.

Well, guess what ?

I’m at work, and I’ve carried some heavy shopping trays to your door.

It’s bloody obvious that I’m fine !

Plus, you don’t even know me, just say hello and thanks for delivering the goods.

I understand it's a greeting but a better greeting would be "hellow", "good Afternoon", or even "how can I help?"

Using myself/yourself/yourselves when I/me/you is a much less affected style (but also terrifying to people who use wanky business-speak because it might imply a more direct and human connection to the human they're talking down to).

Most painfully used by the "contestants"(victims) on Alan Sugar's ritual humiliation and performative cruelty show. God they are such pathetic arse-lickers!
