Daily annoyances?

[Rubyrose]

What are those tiny little phrases people say to you on a daily (or weekly) basis that bug you but you find you use them yourself?

Like when you are eating a salad and someone says 'Ooh that looks healthy'. Or on a Friday 'Don't worry. At least it Friday'.. or 'It's nearly the weekend'!

These things bug me but people in the office say it all the time.. I think it's just to make conversation!

[liquidspace]

Everything is starting to annoy me like:

How are you
Have a nice weekend
Did you have a nice weekend
What are you doing at the weekend

Hmm, maybe its me...

"So what tasks have you completed today?"

Doh I knew I shouldnt have logged onto answerbank lol!

' Can you just...' or 'Have you got time...'

No. Actually I haven't... I have three job titles, I'm the treasurer for something else, I'm an insomniac, I'm a part-time serving wench, my family is dysfunctional and vocal about it, my housemates are odd, my love life is DOA, my friends are all troubled at the same time and in different parts of the country (inconviniantly) and I've a 101 things going through my own head that I don't necessarily shout about but are not helping with my insomnia and in between all that I occasionally like to have a life... So no, I can't just drop what I'm doing as I'm a little f ecking tied up right now!

cheer up may never happen.

[Rubyrose]

Haha.... I know what you mean... once you have heard those little sayings every day for a week or two they start to bug you!

Believe it or not, I posted this Q then my mate walked past and looked at my plate and said 'What you got? Eww, that looks healthy'!!!! Grrrrrrr

[girlygirl2]

Awww chinadoll, it sounds like you are really p1ssed off, you OK?

[OBonio]

'Can you just..' is also the bane of my working life. It seems to be a management phrase where the manager in question has no grasp of what's involved and thinks major changes to a system with over a million lines of code can be rattled out in an afternoon.

Another one that really grates with me is 'which version was this fixed in?'... most of the time my powers of ESP fail me and I have to dig some more to find out what 'this' is and whether it was me that fixed it.

This is a really silly one I know, but it drives me insane when people ask for a 'plain' ice cream IT'S VANILLA!!!!!!

[Rubyrose]

*Backs away from China Doll ever so slowly*.....

[4getmenot]

I thought plan is a white dairy icecream and vanilla is totally different, kinda yellow

[whiskeysheri]

"Oh, you're here, then?"

That's just asking for me to b*gger off again...

[China Doll]

It'll all come out in the wash no doubt. I'm more bemused than hacked off.

Oh, and slightly irritable.... But I'm always slightly irritable so it'd be hard to tell the difference anyway.

[welshwil]

yeah things like 'do some work for a change' really hack me off

[Octavius]

When a member of my team asks that whingey whiney spineless unbusinesslike question �do you mind if I have a day off next week?� or �can you sign my holiday sheet please�.

Gets on my goat all the time.

[mccfluff]

really hacks me off when i'm walking through the building on my way to do something and someone goes ' can you just.........' can't you see i'm fcking busy??

[fine,thanks]

when everyone answers "im fine thanks "

[fine,thanks]

brenda and a goat ??????????

[pinkkitty]

I hate it when people say "there's nothing worse than...." followed by such things as...when you've just hung out your washing & it starts to rain. or, ....when you fancy a cup of tea and there's no teabags left.

having your legs severed by a rusty saw would be a great deal worse!

[Rubyrose]

Pinkkitty - I had to give you stars because I say that and I hate that I say it because when I do, in my head I think 'Ok, dying would be worse surely?'! Lol.

I hate it when people say 'It will be in the last place you look for it'....... Course it f*cking will!!!! Coz once I have found it, I won't keep looking!

[pinkkitty]

PMSL @ Rubyrose! the thing is, i've been guilty of it myself. and then think, "actually, there's lots of things worse than this!"
