Phrases you hate to hear

[steamloco76]

Hummm. That's the first time I've ever seen one of those break!

Well, it appears that part is on indefinite back-order.

And 'SNAP!' anytime while loosening or tightening a hard to get at bolt or part.

 

[captorquewrench]

"oops" uttered by a barber or beautician. Or electrician. Or even worse, a surgeon.

[M29since14]

Anything that contains, "That's awesome!"

I can't think of anything I have ever seen that could be intelligently described as awesome, and 99% of the things one hears being referred to as awesome is barely exceptional.

I am still wishing for a ride-along in an F-15 so I might have some legitimate experience with the whole "awesome" concept - assuming I could remain conscious.

 

[pineappleshooter]

from my children ".....just a second!"

from my doctor ".......can we take pictures, I want to write this up for a medical journal" (actually happened to me on active duty when I had a wart dead between where your lip stops and the skin of your face starts).

That made me think of a bit Bill Engvall did along those lines on the use of 'Awesome!'

"And I started thinking what would be awesome for Bill Engvall? What would leave me in awe and wonder? And it would have to be if I left this stage tonight and went back to my hotel room. And Shania Twain met me at my door, wearing nothing but a fur coat, holding a note from my wife that said "have a good time." THAT would be AWESOME! It ain't gonna happen; but that would be awesome." Bill Engvall

 

[Maximumbob54]

This will only hurt a little.

Are you sure?

Seriously?

We need to talk.

Can I have a word with you?

 

[bobcat]

The one I hate the most is "it'll bring a sense of closure" to the family, etc. as they're talking about a death. It's become the most overused phrase and the most inaccurate, there is no closure with a death, it's a gaping wound that eventually will scar over and you deal with, but there's no sense of closure. Everytime I hear that phrase I want to scream, rant off...

"Dang that rocket landed close!!"
We all wandered around trying to find the hole it left. This morning it landed on a barracks, through the roof of second story room, through the floor, through the floor of the first floor room, through the concrete and six foot of sand. EOD can't get it out, pours 2 yards of concrete into hole instead.
The rocket was a dud, the poor DA civilian who lived to tell the tale probably got told multiple times:
Dang it's your lucky day, should of bought a lottery ticket
At least it did not mess up your clothes to much.
You room is repaired and ready for you to move back in, after all lightning and rockets seldom hit the same place twice!!
And yes my friends this all occurred today!! The poor lady was still in shock and wondering what the h@@l she was doing here. I am certain she will be back to work tommorow.

"...What would leave me in awe and wonder? And it would have to be if I left this stage tonight and went back to my hotel room. And Shania Twain met me at my door, wearing nothing but a fur coat... "

I believe I would stick with the ride-along in the F-15.

 

[Stu1205]

OOPS....after hearing the toilet flush.

 

[Davwingman]

This ain't rocket science!

Push 1 for English!!

Dave

 

[410bore]

"your about 5 minutes late, we just sold a __________(insert grail gun) that you would have liked to see."

from my wife, "can you go check the dryer?" yep, I checked it, still there...dont know about the clothes inside it though.

"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" at 3am from my 6 month old daughter.

 

[Chuck1217]

"That's not fair"

"must pay their fair share"

 

[sjmjax]

I'll have to refrain from being specific as the ones that really set me off are mostly political in nature.

Certain popular buzz words, campaign slogans & "sound bite" commentary.

Similar feelings about a lot of buzz words and meaningless phrases used in business.

 

[krautski]

One that chills up my spine......When my wife says, "You know, I've been thinking."
