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?!

Anyone asking me to 'kindly' do something. 'Would you kindly review this document ASAP'. No.

No it's not the same. Lots of people ask for over the counter medication without prescription. What are they supposed to say then? Maybe you need another job.

Oh yes lol

You're a teacher, right?

My favourite post of the day.

I work outdoors and get all day every day comments about the weather. Yes I can feel and see the weather thanks

Ahh I see you're a user of said annoying phrase 😁

I sat next to a man who used the phrase "growth mindset" over 40 times in a one hour telephone meeting.

I'd possibly understand that if he worked in education. He was not, though. He was a communications/ social media manager in an engineering company.

Ha
No

But I do find people who refuse to accept that language changes annoying

'Let's wait a couple of minutes for others to join'. No, record the meeting and start now.

I host a call, it starts on time, if someone is missing or late I might do the agenda in a different order. Guess what, almost everyone is there on time as they know I start on time.

me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was JUST about to say how annoying and wanky the word 'pivot' is.

And then I saw your post.

It's pretty much what this whole thread is about 🤣🤣

Jason Manford does a whole bit of his routine about ‘Dad Jokes‘ like this. I like them. It’s just safe small talk.

“Mummy I’m hungrwy, snack me?” Pretty cute though.

Kiddos , doggos , holy bobs , making memories , it blew up all make my teeth itch
I have twins and same as op bet your hands are full or double the trouble 🤮 edited to add wholesome day especially on fb , sorry no your clit is hanging out , you have a can of cheap larger in your hand

And Depeche Mode (Personal Jesus)!

Pivot. I haven't pivotted since I played netball regularly.

Retired now but it was a ‘manager’ saying “yoooz lot”. Classy

"Would you send that to myself..."
No. It would be a grammatical impossibility.

I'm retired now and workplaces are different but back in the days before Teams when things were done on the phone it was "What's the number for x?" Can I pick your brains meant an hour of my time. Use your own brain not mine.

Thank God I'm retired now but looking at the sunshine reminds me of working retail and hearing day after day "it's a lovely day outside shame you're in here" Yes it really is but needs must.

I hate ‘ideate’.

“I thought I’d call this meeting so we could ideate on the content” 🤮

it’s everywhere in my office now.

‘Does that make sense?’ said after the person has tediously over-explained some very straightforward uncomplicated thing, which would only not make sense to someone incredibly stupid.

circle back and deep dive.
