Curate. "This carefully curated list of books." Drives me up a wall. I associate curate with museum. Say chosen or selected. Even if it is being used correctly, it just sounds pretentious as hell to me.
When people use “gift” as a verb instead of “give.” “My parents gifted us a honeymoon.” No, they GAVE you a honeymoon!
Also, when people use “broom” as a verb instead of “sweep.” “I need to broom the kitchen.” I suspect this is regional and maybe I’m just not used to it.

I've never heard this before. How bizarre. I need to car to the grocery store after work.
Which segues to me hating when people say "Les Mis" but I (and most of the rest of the world) have to say it because we can't properly pronounce Les Miserables.

Ain't
I seen
Not saying "to be" when it is needed (I did this until my first real job and my manager kept on my case and told me I need to add the words"to be" back Into my vocabulary. I had no clue it was wrong as it is how everyone talked where I am from)
Brang. I brang that downstairs. I do not know who taught this to my kids but I might hurt them.
People who use the term on line to indicate that they are in a line.
You aren't standing on a fucking line on the ground; you are standing in a line of people. Therefore you are in line, as in standing in the actual line!

Best, (as an email closing). BEST WHAT, BITCHES? Regards? Wishes? Puppies? Cheesecake in the city? WHAT? My new assistant apparently uses this (so does my boss) and I'm salty about it.
People who use the word AS in place of BECAUSE. A LOT of people (even here) do it, and it drives me NUTS.
"I'd be locked in a padded room" or any other phrase that indicates that they would certainly feel harder than the person just trying to go on. Just shut up, Karen.

The overly positive people on FB. Every post is something about being appreciative or being calm or there’s really no such thing as bad news, just a bad attitude. I can’t think of a specific example but you get the gist.
Listen. Life sucks sometimes. A good attitude doesn’t always make my life suck less. STFU.

Both my mom and my mil have this annoying way of adding an s to store names that don’t have an s and taking the s away from names that should have it. “King Sooper” instead of “King Soopers,” Wamarts” instead of Walmart etc. It’s dumb but annoys the crap out of me.
