On the radio when someone is asked for their experience.

Can you "Paint me a picture?" 

Can you tell us about "the journey you have taken?"

Corporate talk full stop 

‘reach out to x’

’Circle back’

’thanks for the note’ ( just say email ffs)

‘Can you prepare a deck’

I absolutely hate that one.

The word "ask" is more than enough. 

Edit : Italian Dave beat me to it

Cycling on roads to commute I'm on board with. Also like you say, if cycle lanes are provided then use them. I'd actually make it law that cyclists have to use them if provided. 

What I'm not on board with...and this comes from me a recent ex cyclist, is the hypocrisy of using the roads built for commuting, for a form of racing. 

Lycra clad racers, in groups or clubs, clipped in, going as fast as possible, the majority trying to beat their personal best times on Garmin etc. 

Clogging up the road, often ignoring traffic laws. Often being dangerous. They don't want to slow down, don't want to unclip...focussed purely on personal best times. 

No insurance.

As someone who's been there and done it, knows how the community think, then imo it's madness. 

The lycra clad will also not use cycle lanes. 

Oh...and add Jeremy Vine to that. Worst cyclist in the world. 

For once Spud, we are in agreement!

Is there any other road user that is out there for the fun of it rather than trying to get somewhere?

If you want to cycle for lesiure go offroad you slow, wasting my time *****!

Plenty of boy racers are on the road for ‘fun’ and are bigger and more dangerous ****s than any cyclist I’ve ever seen.

im also going to presume you have never seen a horse either

The banal, repetitive and brain dead adverts on commercial radio.

The repeated playing of See it, Say it, Sorted on trains and at stations.

Christmas 

People eating crisps and rustling the packets on trains or planes, along with the tinny noise from their headphones, sets off my Misophonia.

Another rant at the selfish Lycra clad cyclists, had a couple the other day, all the way across Claverham moor, two abreast absolutely no intention of letting me past.
