    #805 British English speakers who ostentatiously ask for chips when they mean crisps. They'll usually commit a #856 (pay by credit card) in the process.

    In at #805. And by "ask" you surely mean "can I get", thus also committing a #655.

    Aaaaaaaaargh. "Can-I-gedda...." is one of my major annoyances. Sadly becoming a frequent part of the language over here.

    Barman: "Nope, I'll have to get it for you"

    Confused numpty: "What?"
    A pub is for life not just for Christmas

    An expert annoyer will begin the sentence with 'so' and include a fair sprinkling of 'likes'. If they can smuggle a 'going forward' in to it there may be a need for the men in white coats as you will no longer be responsible for your actions.

    Then he'll be "going on a journey".
