"We need to have a conversation"
Not work, politician-speak. Riles me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
It irritates me that people take what is being said by people at absolute face value and are seemingly incapable of spotting PR bullshít
WFT - Arthritic fingers mate
Jay - What,s the point ? You tell us
“big push” - feck off I’m not giving birth.
It irritates me immensely that the OP is allowed to work as an English teacher.

I have banned any of my team using the phrase 'Outside the box'
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens if they're designing a logo, and you want an image outside of a box?
Also, where do you stick labels if you're sending a parcel?
"ping me an email"
I'll ping your fackin head in a minute
I hate those people who try and sound important by stating the obviously loudly so everyone can hear and use about 200 words when 10 would suffice.

Pretty much everything can be summed up in 2 words at work.
It's either
'That's great'
or
'That's shít'

There's no i in team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
But there is 'me" in team
Some IT sales person recently referred to a "single pane of glass solution".
To be fair I knew exactly what he was talking about but I still wanted to backhand him.

"Hang Fire"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Park it"
I knew I shouldn,t have said I was an English teacher and please don,t point out that I haven,t used apostrophes, my keyboard is fecked up and that key doesn,t work. Was tempted to find one and cut/paste every time but I couldn,t be bothered.
I think it mostly boils down to 'I hate people in general' rather than anything specifically annoying me.
My old boss used to always roll out the,
"like a bull in a china shop"
or
"if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck"

It annoys me when people ask you how difficult something would be to do, and then the next sentence says 'reckon you can do it by tomorrow?'. I haven't even told you I can get it done at all
Or people that ask you whether something that can be done, and don't like 'it isn't possible with the current system limitations' as an answer and demand something is done.
110% That,s NOT GOOD ENOUGH, Give 120% you lazy fecker
An ex colleague of mine used to sign off emails to clients ‘best wishes’ but decided as she was sending them information it was too polite in their favour so she amended it to ‘wishes’. I tried to explain to her it makes no sense now, it isn’t like the difference between ‘regards’ and ‘kind regards’, who the hell puts ‘wishes’ as a sign off?!
