"Me, personally...".
and "Lulled into a false sense of security". As soon as lulled comes out you know the person will waste the next three seconds of your life.

I was once considered to be, even better than, "good looking"
but,unfortunately, years of aggravation and the demon booze
has wrecked all of that.Sad

My first "insult" came when I was only in my early forties.

A client called the office to speak to me.
For some reason they couldn't recall my name (what a fantastic
impression I made even though they had my card)!

Can you describe him says the office!

"He was a grey haired, elderly gentleman" was the reply!Sad

Interesting seeing this revived from almost nine years ago!

Haven't seen Aunty Post for a while... He/she was always a decent contributor...imo

Also rogerthebutler, not seen much of since the 2012 Olympics...

More recent phrases that are overused, such as...."moving/going forward".."how does that sit with you"...

....and the most recent for me..."on point"!

I've posted this one on previous threads but one thing I can't understand (and never use myself) is when someone has a baby. "What did they have?" is a frequent question to which the reply is almost always "a little boy/girl" … of course it's little, it's a new born baby!

OK, in all honesty it doesn't really annoy me, but why do many of feel the need to state the bleeding obvious?
