No way could I ever get worked up over the grammatical errors people make when speaking, but I entirely dislike when people butcher typing posts for message boards and forums. They write and spell like they're instant messaging, but with environments like this the need for IM-style speed just isn't necessary (e.g. "u no eyneone dat nose were a studio iz").
It also drives me crazy when people KNOWINGLY mis-pronounce a word (see "skrimp"), or especially a name. My name is pretty damn easy, but people always get it wrong.
A phrase that I'm just short of hating is "if you say so". To me, it's the sister of "yeah, whatever". I worked with a lady who always said that and didn't see anything wrong with when she said it.
Her: Where's the closest WaWa?
Me: Straight down 401, on your right.
Her: If you say so.
Pissed me off everytime.
Peace

Yeah, I can't stand that, lol! I honestly only did it a few times myself, mainly because I was repeating a phone number that someone was reading or saying out to me.
And while I don't "hate" it, the older people in my area still give out five-digit phone numbers. For years and years, every number was 87-xxxxx, so they'd either use the letter designation TR or just the five numbers when giving you a phone number, assumming you knew what they were talking about. Some old stores still have TR-xxxxx on their signs. Again, I don't hate it, but it bugs the hell out of me.
Peace
