No offence, but...

"I'm not being funny, but..."

“So I turned around to her and said ....and then she turned around to me and said..”

Ridiculous and stupid way of speaking

mostdays · 03/11/2018 08:16

"Quite frankly I..."

"By close of play..."

"We should take some learning from this"

"Working in silos"

"I know you're busy but could you just"

Telling it like it is

Karrwomannghia · 03/11/2018 08:20

Can I ask you a personal question?

AbitComplex · 03/11/2018 08:21

“So I turned around to her and said.......”

I agree @InspectorIkmen. I am (hopefully) getting through to my dh that the words “turned around” are so unnecessary.
He gets it from his Mum. It’s common in the town where I live, unfortunately...

teebrenlex · 03/11/2018 08:21

I HATE when people say that

Underpressureidiot · 03/11/2018 08:22

When people describe themselves as bubbly or “saying at like it is”, normally just means they’re obnoxious and rude.

starzig · 03/11/2018 08:25

At least I'm honest. (Just trying to excuse being rude)

frasersmummy · 03/11/2018 08:26

I lost my DH just over a year ago..and people who know nothing of how it feels or how they would or would not cope dish out advice usually prempted or followed by

Friends are honest with each other

With the greatest of respect...

PositiveVibez · 03/11/2018 08:31

My worst 'It is what it is'

Hadenoughofallthis · 03/11/2018 08:33

Any sentence with the word "gotten" in it.

Magmatic80 · 03/11/2018 08:40

‘Sorry to interrupt your lunch, but...’

I now interrupt them at that point and ask them to come back in 20 minutes unless it’s my Director. Very liberating

possumgoddess · 03/11/2018 08:51

Urgh Ginger 1982, I know that when somebody starts a sentence with 'with respect' it means that they are then going to be massively rude, flatly contradict everything you have just said and probably throw in an insult or two as well. There is definitely no respect involved.

Grimbles · 03/11/2018 08:53

Are you at lunch?

No, Sandra, I'm just holding this sandwich for fun...

Hippopotas · 03/11/2018 08:53

‘That will learn them’

No no no no no no no

It should be ‘That will teach them’

Argh

noego · 03/11/2018 08:54
