I may have mentioned this before, but one that gets on my nerves is the use of "they" and "their" when referring to one person. This has become the standard way for people to avoid using masculine pronouns, but it just goes against everything I was taught about pronoun subject agreement.
"So didn't I"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAArgh!
Witty signature.

My dad said that all the time, talk about something that drives you nuts.
Have to agree with you there. Absolutely brutal to hear that one.
SuposiBly is another that drives me bonkers.

I think that's kind of a northeastern thing, isn't it? I have a good friend from Boston and she says, "So don't I" all the time.
I like to say "unloosen" just because it drives my wife nuts.
"Hey, can you unloosen the lid of this pickle jar?"
"Take it for granite", I find especially agonizing to endure.

For us southerners (albeit transplanted) use this saying in a sentence so I can share in your annoyance."So don't I" all the time.
Dom,
It's the same as "so do I".
Beats me.

That is definitely annoying. Thanks, SD.
