Phrases you hate to hear

"Sir, can you confirm your grid coordinates" -- unnerving if radioed to you from an artillery firebase after they have radioed "Rounds out" (meaning rounds fired and on the way) or from a TAC after letting you know that your CAS (close air support) has released its ordnance.

Thankfully, this almost never happens. "Almost never" being the operative words.

"You can't miss it!"

"Who in the world did you find to put an inspection sticker on this?" (Someone who actually understands the Motor Vehicle Code, you @##$%%!)
 
"Your call is very important to us..."

I would think this one has to be the eventual winner. :)

For civil aviation pilots who have just landed at an unfamiliar airport, there is the imposing little man in white shirt and tie (usually with copious ink pens in his shirt pocket) who walks up to you and asks, "Who is the pilot of this aircraft?" :o
 
Originally by shep:

"You're a nice guy, but..."

Oh, does that one resonate, but the one I REALLY hate is:

"Sir, that's not the way it works".

This is usually uttered by somebody who (for sure) does not know how it works. Other users are the brain donors from collection agencies who have been given the wrong information and are beginning to get frustrated and baffled because I am not intimidated when they call. The fact that they are wrong is an inadmissible concept to them that can be dealt with by saying, "Sir, that is not the way it works". Guess what, that's not the way it works when you speak to me.
 
"The cost of repairs is more than what the car is worth."

"It responds well to chemo..." Hope none of you hears this.

Trendy phrases, such as the following syrupy example:

Giving back to the community: This is a media favorite these days when they're slow in the real news department, and are filling in the holes with so-called human interest reports. For example: "Little Johnny picked up trash in the street today to give back to the community." Would these media twits venture to a nearby firing range to interview men such as Yours Truly who voluntarily spend a lot of their free time maintaining the place so Little Johnny can learn to safely handle firearms, and actually learn to use them proficiently in a safe environment... I think not.
