Excuse my honesty but....

[Questions]

Bugger, thats my standard reply gone west then.

Well I wasn't going to mention names.

'Basically...'

I hate this one. Its usually used when someone is explaining something to me. Don't say 'basically', the implication there is that I'm too dim for the 'complicated' explanation.

 

[BrianWade4]

With all due respect .................

This. Before saying something really disrespectful

 

[Frutos]

"I am who I am, love me or hate me".

Seven minutes into tonight's Apprentice, and there it is.

I'm going to have to swap to "Effectively..... " from now on then.

I'm Good ...

when being asked 'how are you'

FFS the question related to your health not how your behaviour was.


'Going Forward' ...... reply ' I have no intention of going anywhere'

 

[looney]

Or in the workplace 'I didn't come here to make friends'

Translation - I am a c**t.

I dont come here to make friends.

I tend to find people who say they wont suffer fools are one.

 

[vegster]

Look, I am outraged by this thread.

No, Aw, look mate.......

I was partially thinking "Apprentice Candidate" when I wrote it, genuinely.

 

[Nibble]

I hate people saying thing like " it takes a lot for me to lose my temper but when I do, woh".

Piss off.

Or " I'm just the kind of person who...".

Shut up.

 

[JBizzle]

Usually followed by something along the lines of 'I say it how I see it', apparently making the garbage that was just spouted somehow meaningful.

Or "Hey, it's just the way I am"... What? Rude?

This thread has "Apprentice Bingo" written all over it.

We'd need to add in some business bullsh*t too though:

Touch base
Going forward
Take it offline

etc.

No, they are saying sorry before they actually do anything, but presumptive isn't it? They should say excuse me, then say thank you when you oblige. Sorry is what you should say when an inconvenience has been caused.

Sorry but having a go at people for being polite?

Another vote for "I'm not being funny but..."

My girlfriend's sister is always saying it and f**k me, I want to smack her round the head with a pan fried kipper.
