What's the phrase of annoyance that floats your boat?

[Anonymous]

I was just reading one the CS threads and had a giggle at youcandoit's post;

Geez this grinds my gears! 

I've used this phrase;

That really gets my goat (and wondered if it should be goad instead).

The fact I have no idea what it means is quite irrelevant. 

Anyway... what's the phrase that floats your boat?

Please share it with us.

Hi Dixo

As a receptionist, one thing I can bank on the ritual Q & A:

Mondays: Q. "how are you"?

                 A " not too bad for a Monday"

Wednesdays: Q. "how are you?"

                       A. "not too bad for a Hump Day"

Fridays:          Q. "how are you?"

                       A. "Thank God it's Friday"
