I really hate it when people say something like "same difference" when they really mean "same thing" Things can have the same differences but not be the same thing.
Stop saying "same difference!!"
and also, Please... stop saying Irregardless. It's not a word, and it doesn't make sense when you use it.
and those are my pet peeves

Irregardless of what you said, we have the same differences.

Who cares if it's in this thread or those other threads cause it's the same difference.
I won't make a joke about the other word cause people who say that should be dragged from their homes and beaten mercilessly.

How about when people say "I could care less" when they actually meant to say "I couldn't care less"? I've had the fun of correcting someone voicing this vulgar bit of verbiage before:
Them: "I could care less."
Me: "Ah, so you DO care, at least to some extent. Clearly, by your own admission, there is a degree to which you could care which is less than the level of caring you are currently at."
After I confounded the individual with something along these lines(I don't quite recall the exact words I used, but it was pretty close to the above), he just sort of gave me a blank stare for a moment or so as he attempted to process what I had just said, then walked away without saying anything further.
I get that a lot, actually.
Sometimes, someone's misuse of language can be more entertaining than annoying, especially if it's completely unintentional. A few years back, a guy I used to work with(we'll call him George, since that's his name)was talking with a young guy who was considering going to nursing school. George was trying to offer the kid some encouragement by telling him about how people have abilities that come naturally to them, and how they ought to take advantage of these abilities. The word George was looking to use to describe these traits people are born with was the word "innate". Instead, George told the kid "Some traits you're simply born with. They're inept." - now that's what I call irony.
Yes, as Briscojr stated, I mentioned the dreaded "irregardless" in another thread. As a free gift to all OMFGers, I give to you a term you can apply to these individuals trying to sound smarter than they truly are by using words which do not actually exist:
I like to think of them as...iridiots. 
Feel free to use it the next time someone hits you with "Irregardless..." but just remember who you got it from.
Then again...I couldn't care less.

@GoodEats but I'm sure you'll kick my ass in Fantasy Basketball, so the hatred is mutual.
@DM I feel like we need that "the more you know" blimp exploding after your post. We just got learned.

I hate when people say pet peeves. Pet in the sense of favorite and peeve which is something that annoys or irritates you. So it's your favorite annoyance?!
As if... "I like a lot of annoying things but this is my favorite annoyance." WTF?! 
It's a stupid alliteration and a bit too oxymoronic.

@Minja: I'm addled and also astonishingly annoyed about all appearing alliterations.
I think pet peeve is kind of an "opportune oxymoron" (you better appreciate this, you know how hard it is to find a term with the word oxymoron that actually is oxymoronic and also an alliteration? )

Irregardless originated in dialectal American speech in the early 20th century. Its fairly widespread use in speech called it to the attention of usage commentators as early as 1927. The most frequently repeated remark about it is that “there is no such word.” There is such a word, however. It is still used primarily in speech, although it can be found from time to time in edited prose. Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance.
