"I'm just being honest" while splaying their arms out as if they're some sort of cursed victim of 'honesty' falling out their mouth, when in fact it's just a very rude personal opinion.
Recently I have seen a number of people on quiz shows who say they work in "Haitch R". You would think that people would know how to pronounce their own job name! Aitch is not only correct, it is also much easier to say.
Most Americanisms, such as putting 'right?' at the end of a sentence - annoying, right? And every shop worker now uses some variation of "have a nice day", which is pretty bland, and rarely sincere. Some of them clearly hate having to say it, but I expect it's encouraged by management.
The worst Americanism I heard when leaving a shop was "Missing you already".
Utterly creepy.
A few pages back on this thread was a theme about Scottish sayings that baffle English incomers .... our builder used the phrase "tomorrow's morning" .... had to think about that one when I first heard it.

Missing you already? That's vomit inducing. worst one yet.
Not had personal experience of that one yet but it would certainly make me ask Why if nothing else. I rather like @Slow-worm 's response tho - now that is definitely a bit creepy
