ricojes Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 "I beg your pardon." To me it sounds like, "Excuse me sir, but I didn't hear you the first time. I beg of you to pardon my mistake, and hope you find mercy in your heart to repeat yourself so that I may better understand." still sounds better than "huh"...

BillnutinHouston Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) When did it become cool to start every response with "So.." ? Is that a millennial thing? Regardless, I find it irritating. Edited August 26, 2016 by BillnutinHouston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prickly Pete Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) Any kind of "managerial" expressions, used in casual, informal discussions. Things like "moving forward" It grates even in a workplace setting, but when it has seeped into a person's private life, I can't help but avoid ever talking to that person again.

Things like "moving forward" It grates even in a workplace setting, but when it has seeped into a person's private life, I can't help but avoid ever talking to that person again. So in other words it creates a paradigm shift in your relationship with that person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean. I had to downsize my brick-and-mortar networking contacts, as they weren't synergisticly empowering my socialization strategy.

BringBackFergy Posted August 28, 2016 Author Share Posted August 28, 2016 "That's unacceptable". This phrase can be used by a parent if a child behaves a certain way, makes a mess, etc. OK, I get it...they are teaching the child about behavior or expectations. But I hate it when a person uses "that's unacceptable" because they didn't get their own way. For instance, "Mr Smith, the claim rep hasn't given me an answer yet despite my emails and calls. I know you are hoping to have this wrapped up. I'll keep pestering him and hope to have a response next week." Mr Smith says "These delays are unacceptable". Ohhhh, sorrryy. But they are reality. I can't break someone's arm to respond quickly. Learn to accept the fact that things don't always go your way Mr Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 "Beyond" That is beyond gross. I am beyond frustrated. This is beyond ridiculous. You know what? Then find another !@#$ing word to describe it. Don't just put "beyond" in front of the same word that doesn't do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
