Or when people use the conjunctive verb in the wrong place in a sentence. This is nearly as annoying as the loose usage of past participles and invalid pronoun placement. Furthermore, don't get me started on the subjunctive clauses....

Loose usage of past participles? People usually incorrectly use the PRESENT participle instead of the past participle. For example, when footballers say "Yeah and he come flying down the wing" instead of saying came.
Also old man, an elipses contains three fullstops. 
The "sooooo..." thing I sometimes do but it's usually "soo... yeah". Depending on the way in which it's used it can show indecisiveness, which is the way I use it. We all have ways of speaking because nobody speaks using complete, grammatically correct sentences all the time because it's not natural.
"But" I don't mind too much either.
Jimmy would go. It's just that he has an appointment though...
Doesn't sound as bad as
Jimmy would go. It's just that he an appointment but...
My pet hate is the wrong use of:
Your, You're
His, He's (doesn't even sound the same to me)
There, They're, Their
Some people get annoyed if you correct them but hey, it only takes a minute to understand which one you should use and you'll never make the same mistake again.
