"Ah, he's only playing".
I was in the newsagent's this evening when a woman's dog started sniffing at me and trying to playfully bite me leg. I moved away a couple of times and then the woman said "Oh he's only playing!"
Yes, but I don't want him "only playing" with me! I mean if I grabbed your tits could I excuse it by saying that I only meant it playfully?
Other phrases that annoy me are:
"Can you call back later?" No I can't. Take a message and get them to call me!
"Does my bum look big in this?" Yes it does, you have a big bum!
"Well where did you last see it?" I don't know, that's why I'm still looking for it!
Have you got any?
By the way, I don't only post miserable, mardy-assed topics, I can be nice too ... 1994 was the last time I think.
I hate the term sorry, because most of the time I hear it it is meaningless. All appologies to me are banned, unless they are in the form of actions rather than words.
Get a life. OK, I thought that if one was born, one was living and therefore we all have lives. Apparently not and there's a chain of life stores where one must go and get one. Never understood that one since people first started spouting it. Another one is, "Just kidding." Seems you can say or do anything mean to somebody, but if you say you were kidding, you were supposed to be automatically excused.
Can you please hold?
When someone asks: "Did you miss me?", and means it seriously. I honestly hardly ever miss anyone I chat with on here. It's not that I don't care, it's just that I see missing someone as you're constantly thinking about them or you'll feel depressed if you go just a day without chatting. I just never know how to respond to that question. I also don't like the "Do I look fat in this" or other questionss like that. I'm a girl so probably wouldn't be asked this anyway, but I would think if she's asking that question she would want an honest answer to it. OK, he doesn't have to be rude about it, but I wouldn't expect the answer to be "no", if it's not true either.
sorry. lol.
Didn't see you there. As the eejit knocks my fresh pint of Guinness to the floor,yes I'm sitting only 2 feet off the floor, but man, I'm not that hard to miss.
Or Can I help you? When I'm wheeling around Virgin, deciding what cd I'll buy, as if I'm some kind of crippled shoplifter.
Cant you reach? when I'm at full stretch in the first place, to reach a fieckin magazine
lol I agree with lots of these. But the sorry one tops it.

"I probably shouldn't say this, but..." you know whatever follows is something that shouldn't be said. So, don't say the damned thing.
"Whatever!" showing exasperation. It's way over used so whatever!

You lot invented it and I never use whatever it's ancient.
The little aussie teens using american slang, like whatever, my bad, anyhoo, don't wig out. Yes, I saw Buffy too. Please put the fictional Californians back in fictional California, you irritating little posers, and go pretend you're black or something.
This one's probably just aussies as well, but when guys say, Can I help you, or, Can I help you mate? to other guys, and it's never that they actually want to help. There's this subtle aggressive posturing in it, and just, argh! He's a complete stranger! Leave him alone!
And I love her, but..... I think this one's just girls, and I think we all do it some time, when feeling the need to bitch about someone who's a friend or a relative or someone we should have more loyalty to than to go around bitching behind their backs. It's this self-concious disclaimer, I can't be held accountable for this because I'm usually nice to her. This doesn't count. I'm not a bitch! There's just such a double standard there.
Wow. Turns out I have a lot of piss and vinegar on a monday morning.
I don't mean to offend you, but ... OK, so you're telling me you don't intend to offend right before you say something that most likely will at least get me to put my shields up. Be honest and admit you do want to offend me because somehow you think your stupid uninformed opinion is worth my time and outweighs my own opinion of things merely for existing.
Oh, and if you think "whatever" is bad, I hate "fine!" Usually said very loudly and followed by stomping and slamming of a bedroom door. Why say fine when things are obviously and entirely unfine? And actually, I find the word fine for the most part is kind of weak unless you are talking about something luxurious or the opposite of coarse.
Ah, and here's another one. Did it ever occur to you that ... Why no, since I am and never will be as enlightened as your superior self, no, it never occurred to me because I'm just fucking stupid and you're smart and you win everything. Fine! LOL!
Two more from the Dust Bin:
"I'm not a racist/sexist/homophobe but ..." Self-explanatory really.
"Nothing". As in "What's the matter?" response "Nothing". Cool. That means everything is fine and we can carry on having a good day/evening etc. If you're not fine, either tell me outright, or elaborate when I ask you. I'm not a gardener, I'm not going digging so don't expect me to keep asking if you say "nothing"!
a few that bill engvol pointed out. truck full of boxes, and people carrying shit out of your house. "So you're moving then"? Nope! We just pack our stuff up once or twice a week to see how long it takes... Here's, your sign! Bill got iti right fair play.
I hate the phrase, "Oh no you didn't." Um, yes I did? Hello if I didn't then we wouldn't be having this discussion.
I'm not racist/homophobe but...
I don't mean to offend you, but...
I don't want to be mean, but...
I don't want to argue, but...
Get A Life!
Where did you last see/have it?
Can you please hold?
I hate, it doesn't matter. Well, it might not matter to you, but it does to me!
