What phrase do you hear ALL THE TIME during your working day, that makes you want to scream?!

[Ilovemychocolate]

So I’m a childminder.
Whilst out with the kids (presently four 2 year olds) I hear “you’ve got your hands full” multiple times a day!
Over and over again, and it’s SO hard to react with a smile sometimes! (But I do obviously)
When I worked in shops it was “printed it this morning!” if someone handed me a fresh note.
So what do you hear constantly whilst working, that makes you scream inside?!

I wrote that on my appraisal last week. 😂

It couldn’t be further from the truth (I got ChatGPT to write it).

"Charity starts at home" when they have to decline to donate to charity, said multiple times a day , every day !!

Reading this thread I can't help thinking that if dozens of people a day don't understand/agree with your booking system/charitable aim/archaic use of language, it is you that is the problem!

Yes it was me. Literally every day my manager would say there's a piece around x,y and z.

Its such a nonsense phrase and drove me crazy.

“You’re setting me up to fail” about any reasonable expectation. If you work with the ‘clients’ I work with, you’ll know what I do!

”We know things are tough at the moments and we thank you for all your hard work. We’ve designed these processes to make it easier for you and all you need to do it fill in all these new forms and do this additional training before X date” [sic]- senior management/ MPs.

Hahaha yes!

Art of the possible - fuck off!

I also hate “the * piece” even heard some bloke on the London marathon coverage saying it. Really irritating.

Also “kind of” For example “If we kind of do ‘x’ then the effect will kind of be ‘y’ “ That gives me such rage - are we doing it or not? Will they be the effect of not?!

“Pivot,” “circle back”

Well you can’t blame them for asking can you?! Firstly, I assume they could do with being seen sooner and at my GPs, they often actually do have something sooner!
