When ordering food or drink, everybody says, "Can I get" instead of, "Can I have" or "Can I order".

Grinds my girders! :angry:
 
Can I get is im pretty sure a well known way of asking in Scotland
 
Current trend in starting sentences with "Look" or "So"...bugs the hell out of me!

Sometimes guilty of 'so' in written sentences

My pet hate is:

In my opinion or In my humble opinion, in forum posts, Of course its your opinion, you're writing it!!

Surely if their opinion was indeed humble, they wouldn't offer it?

"With all due respect" usually means none at all.

My daughter uses the word 'right' a couple of times every sentence and no amount of mickey taking has stopped her.
