"Issue" used as noun meaning "problem" rather than "concern." Many things concern me, but unless and until I delve into their nature, whether the things that concern me are indeed problems remains to be seen.

The "F" bomb. Nothing is more annoying than when a person feels the need to include it in every single sentence. It's so douchy.

The word "so" when used to start a sentence.

A lot of people start every other sentence with the word "so" even though they're not tying a previous sentence to the current one. I haven't found any rule saying it shouldn't be done, but it's irritating as hell when it's overused.

Let me know if you ever need anything.....

Just do something for the person, they are not going to call and ask!

The "F" bomb. Nothing is more annoying than when a person feels the need to include it in every single sentence. It's so douchy.

What about the C-word? If you could only pick one, which one could you live with?

"Thanks for having me."

( In response to a TV anchor thanking the guest for being on the program. ) I would simply say, "Thank YOU," or "my pleasure" or you're welcome."

It all takes up too much time. If the anchor has to thank someone for being on their show I would like for the anchor to go right into the interview instead of waiting for the time-consuming and cliché response.
