    People who make you feel that you've done something wrong by pointing out mistakes, be it grammar or otherwise. 

    Example. A recent advert for Waitrose started with " Maldives". When I said it should be The Maldives. ( like The Gambia, The Bahamas, The UK ) one of our managers said " does it really matter?"   " well yes, if you want it to be correct, of course it matters"

    Devon.

    Tattoos in general, tattoos on women in particular.

    The real broad, strident of the Liverpool accent.  I like John Bishop's accent, but there was a series about Easyjet on a few years ago where one of the check in staff sounded as if she was trying to bring up phlegm all the time.

    Succulent. I never buy anything that's 'succulent'. It's code for injected with water and chemicals .

    In London. Keen but lazy.
