Annoying words, sayings or ads.

Idiots who seem to believe that every sentence must be started with 'so'.

Being constantly told that someone has got my back is also fairly annoying - if they had then I wouldn't be able to walk.

And being informed that 'you got this' is guaranteed to annoy as well.

But there's an ad for New world which really grates. Having made an effort to claim being Kiwi by using Aotearoa NZ it then goes on to solemnly use those godawful Americans ' bake sale cookies' (!!) & 'store bought'. Confused

This is, as they attempt to establish, Aotearoa NZ - so trying to sound as American as possible is just bloody annoying. 
We don't have sodding 'bake sales', nor are things 'store bought' - we tend to use, &  say, shops dammit.

"You got this"
"Reaching out".  (Even worse:   "Thanks for reaching out" as a response to a simple query.)
"Just sayin' ". (Or anything written that substitutes an apostrophe for a g)
"Go figure"

At least they have been reading.
