Mine is when a thread goes on for so long, the original point is lost in endless replies.

I'm active in a few watch forums and whenever I see someone wearing a watch on their right wrist, I go into full Herbert Lom eye twitch mode. It's the same when I see someone eating using a knife in the left hand or when I use bog roll where you have to scrape your knuckles on the tiles to get the paper rather than it being put on the other (proper) way. I may need counselling.

Everything.

[TameRacingDriver]

Everyone

People who pronounce Ralph Lauren as 'Ralph Lor-enn'

People who pronounce Ole Gunnar Solksjaer's first name as 'Olly' or 'Olay'

The correct pronunciation is 'Oo-ler'

That's a funny way to pronounce Lauren.

Because left handed? As am I hence watch on right wrist which actually has the added benefit of the crown not digging in to my hand when I lean on a table. How often do you faff with the crown anyway?

For me daily (as I have a manual Speedmaster ) I was talking to my left handed mate about this a while back as he wears his digital Casio (no crown) on the left wrist although he said he's always worn a watch that way without thinking about it.

For all of the years he was a Man U player; I only ever heard his name pronounced as Olly by the reporters and guests on MOTD.
I think most foreign people just accept the Brits are never going to get their names right, so just don't bother correcting them.

Everyone on Fox sports and Sky F1 seem to have their own way of saying Charles Leclerc. I don't think anyone pronounces it the way he would.

[toon10]

I remember there being a big hoo har about MOTD getting "Jenas" wrong when Jermaine Jenas was playing. I think it was made worse that we had an entire season or two of one pronunciation before it changed. I still can't remember if it should be "Jenus" or "Jeenas"!

Speaking of knives, people who hold it like a pen. Grrr.
