I HATE "in the wrong place at the wrong time." They always use that when talking about how some innocent person was murdered by some maniac. The victim wasn't in the wrong place, the murderer was!
The other one that drives me nuts is "It was in the last place I looked." DUH!
And don't even get me started with "Git R Done"...
