The Little Things
'Hullo chaps', bellows Richard McBeef, of 'the internet' fame. My boss has managed to make 'shown' into a two syllable word and it drives me round the fucking bend. Tell us about the little things that people around you do, which annoy you for more than they rationally should. Vent your spleen.

Every time anyone says "going forward"
Quietly just interrupt with "from now on", in the manner of David Brent inserting "assistant TO the regional manager".
Don't make a big deal of it, just do it quietly, almost imperceptibly.
If anyone notices, point out that it means exactly the same thing, but with fewer syllables, and has the added bonus of not making you sound like a pretentious idiot.
