I'll list three.
1. People who mispronounce words despite hearing it correctly, or don't even try to pronounce it. Especially in foreign languages.
2. Redundant phrases like "ATM Machine" and "and etc."
3. The assumption that everybody and their mother knows or remembers something. Marc is guilty of this one a lot; he screamed at a contestant on Millionaire for not knowing what an Obi is, which *I* wouldn't have known either if I hadn't read Shogun that summer.
