This is a silly pet hate but... APOSTROPHES.
An apostrophe signifies when something belongs to someone or when words have been contracted: do not to don't etc.
If in doubt, don't use an apostrophe. I'd rather not see one at all than see pointless ones.
If you don't know whether something needs an apostrophe or not... do not use words which would need them.
It is just annoying to see signs, facebook statuses, sentences in books/magazines etc, which have stupid apostrophes in them. Just because there's an s or two, doesn't mean you need millions of apostrophes.
Rant over. :-)
