People who say 'can I get' in shops.
You can HAVE a coffee. The barista will Get you itLord Jesus, this one again.
"Get" is defined as "come to have, or receive".
I'm going to get a coffee. Now I'm in the shop. I'd still like to get a coffee. So can I get a coffee?
I think it's a southern thing. Drives me round the bend.People who drop the g at the end of a word. Pritty Patel would do it all the time. All for regional accents but that one drives me crazy.

Why are people ALWAYS in a hurry- this annoys me.Not really an issue in these times of social distancing, but walking down a pavement or through a shop where you are walking behind someone going painfully slow and you can't get past them. Nrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggghh! (I'm not talking about a person on crutches here, just someone dawdling along, often talking with their friends whist walking 3 abreast).
I'm a long term believer that pedestrianised areas should have an overtaking lane like motorways or even like on escalators on the tube. Too many 'middle lane hoggers' about in town centres causing 'traffic jams'.
I don't tend to criticise someone's English as long as I can understand their meaning. That's what language is for and anyway, we all make mistakes. However, when I see a grammar police person being overly critical I scan their post for mistakes and am amazed at how often I find one.
People who overtake cars going 30 in a 30 zone, let me past I'm more important than youWhy are people ALWAYS in a hurry- this annoys me.
Butter in the jam jar is just as badName 1 think that bothers you that shouldnt:
When people hack at butter and leave crumbs is mine
Yes but you may not "get" it. That's the job of the barista or shopkeeper.So I can come to have, or receive, a coffee?
