People who say 'it went on fire'

Why on earth does this make me want to poke myself in my eyes with a blunt kebab skewer?

Any other illogical pet hates out there, either linguistic or otherwise?

Early doors - WTF!

'Literally', when used for emphasis, rather than a literal sense (I literally laughed my head off.....)

Has she got some pet hates, then?

My irrational hatred is for adverts, particularly on the radio, that patronise you by having sound effects. Especially whenever it's to do with drinks. There's a Gordons Gin one on the wireless at present that makes me want to punch someone.

Oh and any advert with Timothy f'cking Spall in it.

In fact all adverts.
