People who say "I could care less" (or I could give a shit etc etc), when actually they mean "I couldn't care less"

If you could care less, why are you whining about it?

People at my local who ask for a pint of "Timothy Taylors" or worse "Timmy Taylors". It's "Taylors". Just "Taylors". And Vinny the Landlord he annoys me because he won't follow my suggestion of making this an instant barring for life offense. Sometimes this irritates me to such an extreme extent that I'll even go so far as to pay the inflated price for Taylors just to demonstrate correct usage of the name.

You don't hear people asking for "a pint of Joshua Tetleys" or a "half of Sammy Thwaites" so WHY??
