DaveN 1,118 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 A phrase I hear regularly on t.v. is when some programmes such as Breakfast Time come to an end they say "We''ll see you tomorrow" They won't becasue they can't see the viewers! Have you any phrases that annoy you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,158 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 yes,when a shop assistant says,"thankyou darling"or "sweetheart"and worse still "BABES", Morrisons staff are the biggest offenders! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tomlinson 879 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 After being in a queue an assistance says, " Thank you for waiting, " and as you're trying to get on with a meal in a restaurant, the constant question, "Is everything alright"? At home I find it annoying when, instead of the wife saying, " Please pass me the (whatever)", she says, "Is the (whatever) over there?" or " Would you like to pass me the (whatever)"?

FLY2 10,108 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Yes, I've noticed waitresses always seem to ask me when I've got a mouthful of hot food. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Not a phrase but theres an annoying trend amongst younger yuppie types of answering a question starting with the word "So" followed by short pause . Eg " How does this thing work?" "So ....you put that there etc" Its an unneccessary word ! So there ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 So the nurse says "just a scratch" as she prepares to stick the needle in your arm, then an almighty pain like a red hot blunt dart is forced in to the arm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Not a phrase but a word - the use of the word 'impact' instead of 'affect' or 'effect'. It seems to be an example of managementspeak that's spread to all the news media and now even real people are saying it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,464 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Shop assistants (or people in a similar position) who finish the transaction with "Enjoy". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
catfan 14,793 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Shop assistants (or people in a similar position) who finish the transaction with "Enjoy". Well said Cliff Ton, I hate that word when used like that. In Wetherspoons recently when the young wench brought the snap to the table her last word was "Enjoy" I comment to the dismay of Mrs Catfan was "I bleeding hope so" !

plantfit 7,592 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 When in management meetings the speaker say's "So going forward" as a business surely we would'nt be "going backwards" or would we? Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beachbum 68 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 Stupid people in shops, pubs, cafes, saying "can I get" NO you cant, there are staff there to get for you. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomlinson 879 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 "There are no such things as problems, only challenges" --- "We worked hard but we played hard" and "He doesn't suffer fools gladly", which, as someone once remarked to me, is another excuse for being bloody rude!

DaveN 1,118 Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 The recording on the Nottm buses when she says "make sure you take all your belongings with you". How can you? Most of them are still at your home Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bilboro-lad 294 Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 So the nurse says "just a scratch" as she prepares to stick the needle in your arm, then an almighty pain like a red hot blunt dart is forced in to the arm. Last time I had a needle the nurse said, "Little prick". I thought, how does she know that? Does she know my ex? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
