I hear this one more often than I feel is acceptable:
"We took and went to the store."

The only time I imagine "future plan" (minus some general in a B rated scifi/military action movie discussing the plan/"future plan", haha) is if someone is discussing both the current plan and future plan in one sitting. "We do this plan first, depending on the outcome, A B or C, we will be prepared to do these future plans."

To be fair, when people use “pick and choose”, you would typically say that “you can’t pick and choose” which affirms that you can’t do both at the same time.

In such cases, you can't even do one of the two. You don't get your choice at all.

What's that quote? That quoted quote from a quotable person capable of being quoted? Something about being able to get your message across using fewer words.

Brevity is the soul of wit?

That, good sir, is most certainly the phrase I have poured countless eons traversing the deepest reaches of the internet for which I have searched.

If I hear "ATM machine" once more, I'll go crazy.

That's a specific type of redundancy called RAS Syndrome.

Not quite. Common means widely (mis)used, redundancy means unnecessarily (over)used. Two different meanings.

Absolutely quite. Two same things.
