I hate when someone says something... and someone says "You can say that again"... and the first person REPEATS WHAT THEY SAID...

Don't talk back to me! "Don't you understand English?" Not fully, no. "How many times do I have to tell you?" Six! And my favorite: "I have tried to be both a mother and father to you." Go f u c k yourself!!!

| Words And Phrases That I Despise !! Posted: 9/14/2008 9:49:40 PM | I hate the word 'sandwich'.
A scrumptious, moist and tender, succulent sandwich, complete with all the trimmings and fixin's. I keep an extra one in my fannypack for when I'm feeling sinfully decadent and splurgeful. | |

| Words And Phrases That I Despise !! Posted: 9/15/2008 8:42:22 AM | The retail indoctrination:
How to tell a winner from a loser:
A winner says, "Let's find out." A loser says, "Nobody knows."
A winner listens. A loser waits until it's time to talk.
A winner credits his success to "good luck", even though it wasn't. A loser blames his failure on "bad luck", even though it wasn't. "A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step." Fortune cookie pseudo-wisdom.
"If it's nae Scottish, it's crrrap!" Please... have these people sedated.
"My needs aren't being met." No...? Then drop some of your needs.
"Sandwich" is funny in a certain context, like "The 18-wheeler was sandwiched between two trains." In cases like that, no other word will do! Especially when they find the driver's fannypack in the glove compartment. | |

| Words And Phrases That I Despise !! Posted: 9/22/2008 10:34:40 PM | "Mandatory." I hear this at work. "There's a mandatory staff meeting on Tuesday." People use this word to ORDER someone else to do something, without actually using an imperative. The illusion of power. It's weak and pretentious. Get rid of it.
And as if "mandatory" weren't enough: "mandatory options." What...?
By the way, I skipped your "mandatory" meeting. Come to think of it, "meeting" is irritating, too. "Team meeting", even worse. | |
