4 hour meeting a couple of weeks ago, I could hear the guy sat next to me breathing really loudly. By the end of the meeting all I could hear was his breathing!

OK, time to get uber petty!
There are certain phrases that just rub me up the wrong way, and I've no idea why. I think there might be something wrong with me. When people look at a puppy and say 'look at the size of his paws, he's going to be massive!'. When you get the message that 'mother and baby are doing fine'. Why does this annoy me?! It's good news! I think it's just the wording. 'It's too cold to snow.' Oh **** off. When someone just sees an exception to something and says 'Well it's the exception that proves the rule'. No it's not! That doesn't even make sense! I'm sure there's plenty more too.

Well if we're going with phrases, the one that gets me is what people say when recovering from a cold or something: "I'm feeling better in myself" As opposed to where exactly?
Also, people who say "I'll double-check" when they mean "I'll check." And I think it's been mentioned already, but anyone who says literally when they don't mean it. "I was literally laughing my head off." No you weren't. Actually, thinking about it these are all things I picked up from one person, so maybe it was just that I found that person really annoying.

Guilty on the grated cheese thing too - something I learned from my Mam who does the same. Always have to grate more than I'm going to need

Oh don't worry I usually have to fend a certain someone off when chopping peppers, onions, mushrooms or other stuff because the piles keep getting smaller and smaller.

I'm a food nommer whilst cooking If I make up a salad with olives, by the time I sit down to eat my salad, the olives have gone
I dislike it when people presume I have a degree. It's not a horrible thing to presume, but when I say "No no. I didn't do Uni" I feel like such a plank. |

I agree! I think it is the wording, something about it grinds my gears for absolutely no reason whatsoever.
