» Annoying words and phrases
I work in the Admin Department of a sales company
So I hear some right crap....
All the usual bollocks such as 'actioning' things, thinking "outside the box" and "going forwards". I have become almost immune to this thanks to the fact my computer has speakers and I can sit and listen to music for most of the day.
Here are some other general ones that piss me off:
"At this moment in time". You mean "currently" or even, "now". Stop this immediately. It's one of those phrases that people use when they believe that using lots of words instead of one or two makes them sound more intelligent.
"Bear with me" when being transferred to another department. I always want to ask what type of bear it is.
"Eh?/"What?"/"Pardon" People who do this before you have even finished fucking speaking. You retarded cuntbadger.
One colleague who has since being sacked actually said to people on the phone "I'll let you run that up your flagpole and see who salutes it" ?! I had to take him to one side and have words with him about that one.
I'll think of more later. Also, hi everyone. First post, long time lurker and all that.

"Never mind"
Example - When you have confided in someone about something really rather bad that has happened to you, and because they are either too fucking oblivious/stupid/ignorant to think of a better response they come out with "Oh well, never mind"
*I* Will decide if I mind or not, thank you.
