I hate all the blue chip crap they use in meetings......

Bases covered, Boxes ticked, We gotta drive this idea! Look at the bigger picture!

And one of my favourites once said by a german with a dodgy moustache.

"It's only a small island, It wont take long to invade"

Now that we're on random **** that annoys us, I'll add in when I say "Thank You" and the person will respond with, "No problem" instead of "You're welcome." Nothing lowers a waiter's tip quicker than that response.

"Here you go" is another one that I cant stand. I've started to respond with "Here I am" and always add in an akward stare for fun.

Have you ever walked by somebody you know and said "Hey, how are ya"?And they reply "Oh, not too much"?

Or maybe you say "what are you up to bud"? And they reply "pretty good, and you"?

It's not really a dumb phrase, but it's still funny when they get the two backwards.

Exactly right.
"You're welcome" and "no Problem" do not mean the same thing.
It's not that hard people, just think about it for a moment and it makes sense.
This one irks the heck out of me too.

"I live in the rust belt" as an excuse for losers who don't maintain their vehicles

One I hate is "we have to take it to the next level" when in company meetings.

I hate it when you ask someone "whats up" or "whats going on" and they almost ALWAYS reply with: "nothing much..."

WTF!

This old railroad buddy of mine told the bar tender chick at a bar in Hoboken that he was once the medicine man for the Patroni Indian tribe and that's why he knew so much about Patron Tequila.

He went on about it for about 10 min. It was the funnies crap I think I've ever heard.

Someone already mentioned it but I really hate when someone is trying to tell you a story or their side of the story and they say "no whh I'm sayh'n" after pretty much every sentence that leaves their mouth. It's even worse when they say "no whh I'm sayh'n mayne?"

I don't really know anyone that does this but I have caught it on TV a few times spewing from some idiot's mouth.

I just want to say "Yes, I do know what your saying. You said you were just driving down the street, I know what what means, you don't have to ask if I know what your saying because that's what your saying. You were driving down the street. lol


An office one that really irks me is the word DELTA. Example: "What's the price delta?" Why can't they just say, what's the difference in price?

I haven't figured out yet if they are just trying to sound smart or if I just have a small vocabulary.

They're trying to sound smart, and it isnt working, they have the two things backwards. It isnt "price delta", the delta always comes first. Example in math problems: Δx would be the change in x.
