One example was "with all due respect " when you and the person saying know they mean quite the opposite.

Another is the phrase "what ever!" or "Blah Blah blah"

What phrases really get up your nose? be it from workmates, family, husbands etc?

I also hate,

'with all do respect'

'yada yada yada'

'blah blah blah'

'shoes, I have tons'

'its a good thing'

'what goes around comes around'

'show me the money'

'I can understand that'

'alrighty then'

'like' -used 5 times in a sentence.

I will be back with more!:wah:

'Just get over it', i mean 'get a life', now, 'don't take offence', 'just hear me out' and 'i think you know what i mean', alright alright!' and 'say no more', 'it's a woman thing', are you serious?', 'don't even go there', 'are you having a laugh?'

Post by **Oscar Namechange** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 5:15 pm

Actually, i have a neighbour who likes to drop in my house when she like's and we hate it.

Every damn sentance she say's starts with "I'm not being funny, but", then you just know she's made an excuse to come out with some offensive crap.

She ends every sentance with "Know what i mean?".

No i don't know what you mean and i don't care. Go away woman. :-5:-5:-5

I hate it at work when you ask someone to do a particular job, and they know how to do it, and there reply starts with, "but how" or

' but where" and I dont know is a beaut

I hate it when someone deliberately insults you ....and then when you get pissed off they say they were only joking. "Can't you take a joke".

My answer is "Yes I can take a joke when I hear one".

I hate the expression used by American Politicians "The American People", like they are so damn knowing of what we think. Just once I would like to hear one say "the citizens of this country"

BTW --I am guilty of using "with all due respect", I use it as a form of sarcasm.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh politicians, well my fellow Australians, citizens, as if I have something in common with those bastards :-5

But it really cheeses me off when they refer to the faceless voters like that, even if it is technically correct. They put up taxes, put up government fees, and christ knows what else, and then they have the cheek to talk to us as if we are there mates, pigs arse they are my mates :-5 :-5 :-5 :-5

You know what really pisses me off Neil ?

Im at the fair and I get some cotton candy.

Its like 110 degrees out and the pink sugar is melted all over my face and hair.

You would think with 100,000 people theyd have plenty of bathrooms right ?

No way Neil, you walk and walk and all you want is to splash some cold water on your face. Is that asking too much ? A little water....

I swear the next person that walks by and looks at me wrong is getting this cotton wad shoved right in their face.

Im pretty upset now.

Talk me down man.

I know what you mean Nomad, its like toilets, when you are at a big event, there arent enough toilets to go around, do the organisers think we have colosomy bags or what :-5

Teenagers using "like" loads of times during a sentence ! Yeah Right !

People who say "with all due respect" when they haven't got a respectful bone in their body.

I hate it when someone is explaining something to you and they say

‘it isn’t rocket science’

I hate that! It implies stupidity and that what they are showing you is suppose to be easy.

I always reply: ‘you know what? Rocket Science is easy to a Rocket Scientist; in fact everything is easy once you know how’.

Some-thing else i find extremely annoying is people who laugh at the end of every sentance they say...... It's because they're not funny and they know it. They want you to THINK they're funny 'know what i mean?' ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
