I object to:

The Anti-fragrance movement.
Dressing down so others can feel more comfortable
Non-usage of Negress/Jewess/Oriental
Anti-tobacco movement
Hybrid/economical cars
PETA
Not drinking in the afternoons
Censored books and music

Not sure if it's a PC thing but giving awards for last place at kids sport events is something I loathe. I hate being PC for the most part.

I think most people do it out of ignorance rather than PC-ness, but it's very common, it's poor grammar and it annoys the hell out of me:

* Using the plural pronouns they, them, their instead of he, she, him, etc.

Spoken like a man that has never made love to a Special Olympian. It's a whole new world of pleasure.

I imagine there is very little resistance and a bit of giggling as their tiddlywinks get touched.

"It" works in some cases, but sounds very awkward in others.
