As I sit here watching football, another one comes to mind:

The guy has a name! Use it!!!!

OOOOh, here is one I hate!
You are at a restaurant and just get your food. The waiter/waitress comes back in 30 seconds and asks how well your food tastes.
That really drives me up a wall. Especially when you have an empty drink and probably had issues with the meal 3 minutes later! Although, since I have ties to a restaurant, I don't send much back elsewhere, but I may have an issue where the meat was done too much or something along those lines. I never send food back to a kitchen though. Best to hit a drive through on the way home if its that bad.
+1 on Fru fru, quaffable, yummy and baby bump
I also hate:
You're not connected to the internet
Life long learner
Yada yada
BFF
Kudos, oh how I hate Kudos

I don't know why, but "How does everything taste?" just sits wrong with me. "How is everything" seems to be more encompassing.
I don't know. It's probably just me

exactly-how does it taste? how about how is everything-much more can go wrong than the food being bad.
Thats funny this got brought up, I was just telling my wife that......and I cant help it....i tend to tip less when asked how everything tastes-I can see asking that in a nice place but at steak n shake .......Im there cause its okay....not because its great.......how does it taste?....it tastes like a hamburger and french fries!!!!!!
Use of the word - minute - when the time span has been days, weeks, months, or years.

Then there is the usage of "unthaw" while the person is describing the act of thawing something.
SWMBO asked me to unthaw something for dinner once, so I left it in the freezer.... We ordered a pizza that night.

"Everything happens for a reason"
I can't stand it. When people say that to me, I say, no, sometimes **** just happens...and there's no deeper meaning to it.

Broke your leg? Everything happens for a reason.
Crashed your car? Everything happens for a reason.
Lost a loved one? Everything happens for a reason.
To me, it's the same as saying you're destined to have it happen to you... that you deserve it.
"Gift" as a verb. Nope.
Or, much more rarely, the opposite problem. As a computer nerd, it grates on me when people are dictating a web address to someone else, and they start out with "double-you double-you double-you dot ..." [...] "Yeah... I got that part, thanks for wasting 3 seconds of my life. Can we pick it up at the relevant part of the URL please?"
And, just to show I'm wrong, I loved Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark, so I just know Howard the Duck is going to be great.
I hate being P.C.
One time my old boss was telling a story about a white guy and an African-American gentleman. What the f... Why use those words? I don't demand people refer to me as a European-American

On a related note, it drives me nuts when people shorten or abbreviate words that are already short. How did we transition from 'Okay' to 'OK' to just plain, lazy 'k'. Even in spoken word, it's becoming "kay".

When sports talk radio types say "efforting" when they are trying to find a guest or information or a stat, etc
"thought to myself". Redundant.
I assure you that I have intended every pun I have ever made.
I adore puns. From time to time I like to tell jokes so bad that the listener groans or is actually angered.
I had lamb at a local Indian place recently, and when the waiter brought it out I said "gee, thanks for mutton." I had to explain why that was funny. My wife just shook her head.

From what I've seen so far, I can imagine you ordering the lamb JUST so you could pull off that ridiculous punnage, even if you felt like the fish.
