1. Hashtags in general. I understand they help determine what's trending on Twitter and are a good way to search various topics, but too often they've been used as a substitute for actual real discussions.
and...even more annoying....
2. People who actually say the term "Hashtag" in verbal conversation. As in:
At which point, Conway accused Clintons team of being sore losers. Guys, I can tell you are angry, but wow, she said. Hashtag hes your president. Hows that? Will you ever accept the election results? Will you tell your protesters that hes their president, too?

Burns me like all the fires of hell.
