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.

My neighbour used to say "It's colder than a mother-in-law's kiss"

Actually it's a bit like that here today

*Waves to 69, haven't seen you for a long time.  I'm so happy to see you and I hope you're keeping well lovely lady. xo

My grandma use to say to my grandpa;

"Herbert James, you get that done for me today or it'll be 'pistols for two and dinner for one' tonight!"

My dear mother had a saying ready for everything. If you had to get two things and only got one and had to go back for the other, she'd say " if you haven't got it in the head you've got to have it in the legs "

one of my fathers sayings was

you might as well p*** up your leg and play with the steam

Hi lovely Dixo,  Thanks for asking, I’m doing marginally well, unfortunately suffering from old the ‘Arthur’ in both wrists & fingers, slows me down a little in the communication department, way too many manual typewriters and the dreaded telex machines...brain knows what it wants the fingers to do, but fingers just do NOT comply, can be very frustrating. Hope all is well with you. 

One of the most embarrassing things my Grand-mother used to say when she passed wind (can’t say the other ‘F’ word) was “BETTER OUT THAN IN!”
