To describe themselves.

For example, if someone feels the need to tell you they're trustworthy or honest, the opposite is almost certainly true.

Laid back/easy going is another.

And I've lost count of the number of "pragmatic" people I've worked with who are anything but.

Oh, the ones who say "I'm a bit mad". No, you're just fucking annoying and you're trying far too hard.

My MIL is one to say "You know me I'm not one to interfere, but I said to BIL that he should......." We just bite our tongues and try to keep a straight face Grin

amber I worked with someone who said 'oh remember me to do x..' When you didn't REMIND her what with being busy enough with your own tasks she'd say 'I told you to remember me why didn't you remember me?' It used. To get on my nerves.

What I always notice is that people who go on about how they are crazy are usually pretty dull!

YY Mrs Morton

Also the self-proclaimed 'workaholic' because they stay late. Usually the one who spends the most amount of time faffing around and then moaning about how much they have to do.

Oh yes batfish, and people who describe themselves as bubbly are usually anything but.
