Really pisses me off when people refer to lamps as "light bulbs".... they are lamps, not bulbs! :)
Anybody get any others?

Mixed fluorescent colours always seems to get to me also :) Extra points if it's in the same fitting too!

Faulty lighting and linear halogens in linear halide fittings plus others like GLS/CFL in SON/SOX fittings etc.
