OK, I got a peeve to share:
Knuckleheaded people who overuse the words, "Unfortunately" and "Definitely" because they think it makes them sound More Like A Professional.
This practice is especially bothersome when the subject they're addressing has nothing to do with Fortune or is indefinite.
(yeah, I know, that's definitely unfortunate for me.) <|:p~

I have one along those lines. It is knuckleheaded people who say, "At this point in time". They're probably the same people who also say, "10:30am in the morning".

1. Odd use of capitalization. Unfortunately, it is definitely irritating!
