Most annoying misquotation?

For me it is 'I hear what you say', often said by politicians who never finish it off, the next line is 'but I am going to bloody ignore it anyway'.

[FierceKitty]

How is that a misquotation?

Because they never verbally finish the quote, they only think it.

"Peace in our time" is a quotation, it's just not a quote from Neville Chamberlain.

And when quoted as being from him, it therefore qualifies. But you score points for knowing it's not what he said.
