People who post once a month only to say the board isn't as good as it used to be.
Drinking monster energy drinks.
Swigging beer from cans in the street.
Men who walk around a supermarket at this time of year in shorts and a tee shirt.
Isn't this old chestnut quite spurious?

"The chief vexillologist of the Flag Institute, who is just about the highest authority you can find in the flag world, has declared that, yes, we can after all call our national flag the Union Jack. In other words we can ignore know-all letter-writers who can always be relied upon to go into action every time the term "Union Jack" is broadcast or used in print.
Don't you realise, they say, that the term "Jack" should only ever be used at sea and that on dry land it should always be the Union flag? Well it seems not. Graham Bartram, who undertook research for the Flag Institute, has concluded that the terms Union Jack and Union flag have always been acceptable alternatives whether you are steaming out of Portsmouth on a frigate or hoisting it on the Houses of Parliament."
Agree entirely, common usage would dictate it is the union jack. I only replied to the previous OP because the jack staff of Men of War is from where the turn originated. I served in the forces for a number of years, and I personally had various reasons to be in communication with the MOD Flag department, and everyone referred to the Union 'Jack" without any pedant correcting him or her.
common usage is what keeps the english language alive and growing and changing, like the changes over time in the meaning of words like 'Gay' and 'Wicked' for example.
..........but I still hate people who find the need to shout in pubs.!!! Common as muck. I normally drink in a particuar pub and hwne such people are in, one of the locals will look resigned and say, @What do you expect, they're from ...................."

Barry Island.
Feeling the need to tell strangers that you've been to a posh hotel is a dead giveaway.
You see someone that you haven't seen for a while, you offer your hand to shake while they clench their fist to 'fistbump' you, even worse is when they're about 55 years old, do they reckon they're some 'cool' American rapper or something?
I was in the pub the other weekend and there was a guy there who came over to me twice asking if I had a problem with him, all because he had spoken to me earlier and then held his hand up for a 'high five' and I'd just walked away.
He asked me why I hadn't done it and I said, "I don't do high fives. what is your problem with that?" He didn't know what to say.
(Truth to tell I wouldn't have shaken his hand either, I cannot stand the man.)
Tattoos. Very, very common and chavvy
All of Bristol is so very, very common. Indeed one of the worst places in the U.K. for common people. Just listen to that awful accent, how common. Very.
Barry is pretty working class tho.
That's all I was saying. Sure some areas of Bristol are but not where I grew up 👍
