Which ones grind your gears? Today at the airport I heard business doods on their cell phones saying "just want to touch base" at least three different times. Sick to death of hearing that. You?

|  | The Colonel is break dancing! | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Millcreek Township, UT | | | When the contractors at my office are going to be out of town and unavailable for some period of time, they refer to it as being "out of pocket," as in "I'm going to be at the AUSA conference next week, so I'll be out of pocket until next Friday." I can't stand it. When I hear a guy say that, I just want to throw a pot of hot coffee in his face.

No, saying sorry first does not excuse you from being a jerk.

Other annoyances:
"To be honest" - so you're lying the rest of the time?
"With respect" = I'm going to disrespect you
"Just saying" = I'm not just saying, I have a very clear unspoken agenda
"To be fair" = I'm trying to cancel out all the unfair things I just said

| | Registered User | | | | | In the south people will say anything rude or insulting but as long as they follow it up with "bless their heart" they think they are excused from being snobby. For example : oh did you hear Mary Joe got pregnant and doesn't know who the father is? She's really a poor pitiful thing ,, bless her heart. |

Another one of mine "To make a long story short." I usually say " Too late."
