This is a question Driven to Madness

Captain Placid asks: What annoying things do significant others, workmates and other people in general do that drive you up the wall? Do you want to kill your other half over their obsessive fridge magnet collection? Driven to distraction over your manager's continued use of Comic Sans (The Font of Champions)? Tell us.

Using "turned around and said" or "was like that" instead of SAID.
As in
'He turned around to me and said, "Who do you think you're talking to?", so I turned around to him and said "Why, do you want to make something of it?" so I turned round and said.......' etc etc etc

and
' I was like that, "No I didn't" and he was like that, "yeah you did" '

They really really fuck me off.

Other than that, I'm Mr Tolerance. Probably.

When someone says that
they 'turned around and said' something, I always get a mental image of them doing it, and they've got one hand on their hip, and the other one is pointing at the person they're talking to.

I always imagine the conversation was taking place on the waltzer and teacup ride at a funfair.
