4th Sept 2011 Silly Things People Say That Annoy Me; Maybe You Too
People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.
People who are willing to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to get up and change the channel manually.
People who say, 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. Yes! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
People who say, 'it's always the last place you look'. Personally, I tend to stop looking once I've found it.
When people watching a film ask, 'did you see that?' What do they think I was watching?
People who ask, 'Can I ask you a question?'
When something is "new and improved". Which is it?
When people say, 'life is short'. Life is the longest thing anyone ever does. What can you do that's longer?
When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks, 'Has the bus come yet?' If the bus had come would I be standing there?
People who say 'touch wood' then literally going round the room looking for something made of wood to touch before resuming the sentence.
