I take written grammar in stride, but I have a few that crop up often in spoken conversation. When I'm at a restaurant and the server says, "How are we today?" I hate that. "Are WE ready to order?" It's like fingernails on a chalkboard to me. I'm agitated just typing it out. :)

Another one, and this is admittedly very petty, when I'm ordering coffee and the person says, "Room for cream?" I like room, because I'm clumsy, but I HATE milk. I know rationally that this is an innocent thing, but this irritates the crap out of me. Why not just ask if I'd like a little room? "Sure," I'd reply. But no... "Room... for CREAM???" NOOOOO! Yuck! :D

Oh, and speaking of coffee, when I pull up to the drive thru, it's raining, my window is down and I'm getting water on me and in my car, and the person asks, "How are you doing?" As though I'm at all interested in small talk... "I'll be fine after you take my order." Dumbass...

I think I might have anger issues. :)

LOL, you throw people off if you actually answer the way you feel:

How are you today?
Lousy would be bragging, how about you?
 
I don't care how many Presidents have said it, there is no such word as "nucular".

New. Clear. Now say them together. How hard is that?
 
It drives me up a wall when people use 'soandso and I' when the sentence would read 'me' if soandso wasn't coming along...

'You are going to meet Mom and I' when you would say 'You are going to meet me' I am assuming on the corner of Walk and Don't Walk....

My pet peeve is when people mix up 'who' and 'whom'.
 
These errors don't bother me as much as people applying the identity rule, "It is what it is," to something they really can't or won't explain.
