People bother me by being redundant. How often do you hear someone mention that they need to go to the "ATM machine"? Isn't that saying, "I need to go to the Automatic Teller Machine Machine?" Or, "PIN Number". Personal Identification Number Number.What else really irks you about the way people talk? One more thing that really burns my b**t is a flame about 3 feet high.

lately my Boss' Boss has one that I am embarrassed over. I work in the NOC... which is short for Network Operation Center. His email signature on his Crackberry is "Manager, NOC Operation"
So he Manages the Network Operation Center Operation....  |

There is a church near me that calls itself "C3 Church."
C3 = Cleveland Community Church
C3 Church = Cleveland Community Church Church
Other things:
"PIN number"
"UPC code"
"It is absolutely essential..."
"At 3 A.M. in the morning..."
"I'll give you cash money."
"collaborate together"
"eradicated completely"
And not a redundancy but still annoying:
"In my personal opinion..." Is this as opposed to your impersonal opinion or is it in contrast to an opinion you have that is not your own?
