The Question: What word or phrase (exclude profanity, please) do people use that annoys you?

My 2 Cents: The word that people use that annoys me is “Whatever.”

The phrase that people use that annoys me is “I don’t know.”

To me, “whatever” says, “I don’t care about you or anything that’s important to you.”

“I don’t know” is too often used as a cope out and a way to not take and/or accept responsibility.
