I imagine "here, here" is used because of the existence of "there, there." I don't have such a problem with people who don't know what particular colloquial phrases are because they're so nonsensical sometimes (although not necessarily in this case).
Annoyances that, while not incorrect per se, are still annoying to me: "check" in reference to a monetary payment. It's a cheque damn it!
