People that say 'I could care less,' instead of 'I couldn't...'

Can fuck off

Oh another thing... It's not really a phrase/saying. But I hate when people try to take the piss (and fail) when they hear me say something like "Innit"...
They'll try to immitate me and start saying stuff like "innit bruv blad brap brap pow pow yeee *sticks up gunfingers*" I'd love to shoot the people who think doing this is funny.

Mockery isn't good, but imitation can be. I'm not talking about people pretending to be something they're not (awight geeeez mockney tools for example), but the way different local dialects and accents use and express with English is fascinating and just because someone is from Southend doesn't mean they're necessarily taking the piss if they use Geordie-isms.

I might be saying that though because I have a pretty standard middle class accent and my home town of Grimsby doesn't have a particularly interesting accent. The use of English there is first class though - THE CONCISE GRIMMO DICTIONARY

Lol oh, Im not sure if you understood. The poor imitation of me would sound nothing like me, it would be their idea of a "london gangsta"

I have quite a posh accent compared to most.. I think it's the South part of London that gets this...

Aha I see. Do you get more and more 'landan' when you get pissed? My girlfriend does, it's aces. I met her in the pub last night and she was all prim and proper, but the time we left (5 glasses of wine later) she was all, 'faaaaaaaaack aaaaaaaff, yor avin a laaarf ain'tcha?" when the bar staff tried to charge us for a £40 bottl eof wine on top of our bill.

Zany.

Shittest. Word. Ever.

And even worse when someone is using it to describe themselves... CROSSBOW.

overly middle class white girls saying 'allow them' in a posh accent

people constantly talking about 'chavs' get on my nerves too

hahaaha, how does this annoy you?
People that use it incorrectly

i.e.

'Then all of a sudden he opened a packet of crisps'

or

'then all of a sudden i turned the page'

basically when it is used in instances which are anything but sudden

You do realize that its 'all of the sudden', right?

over use of the word "like"
almost any use of "to be honest" (i am guilty of this thanks to a certain brazillian)
people that start to list things ("well first of all....") but never have a second or third item
"regardless" in inappropriate places

I fucking hate, "At the end of the day", "Know what I'm sayin'" and when "Shit" is used to replace any/all words in a sentence, usually by West coast American's if the posters on here are anything to go by. I actually rather like the last one though as it makes me chuckle somewhat.

Like, I have never once said "At the end of the day" and shit, you know what Im sayin dude?

you raise a good point

I suppose I've never come across a posh black girl saying 'allow them'

When I do I'll let you know

the word "Lads" to describe your mates.

e.g.

"c'mon lads!"
"me and the lads are off to the pub"

Oh and as someone said earlier, pretty much any use of the word "chav" makes me cringe these days. same as "grunger".
