Mean Matt McCord, SASS #24683 0 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 An old friend of mine works for an aircraft fastener manufacturer. They recently attended a function in DC to receive a preferred supplier award from some government agency (I do not remember which one). Their host/guide that day kept telling Paul and his entourage how "appreciatory" they were of Paul's employer. APPRECIATORY?????? Where in the blue hell did THAT b*st*rdized word come from? And to make matters worse, the gentleman using the word kept reminding Paul about his Masters degree. SHEESH! Link to post Share on other sites

Derby Crighton 0 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 AND...when you 'thank' someone as a nice questure of showing your appreciation for their service, they reply...."No Problem". I hate that phrase. Does that mean if it was a problem they wouldn't have done it? Oh Yea, and another word people use that cracks me up.....'Irregardless'. (pronounced: Erie Guardless). ..........Widder I cannot help but say "No problem" now, due to too long working in a Call Centre were if a customer thanked you you were chastised by management as if they felt the need to thank you, you hadn't make them felt like you existed solely to serve them and thus needed not being thanked. So the rule was if thanked you had to explain to the customer it was "No problem"; there was even a script and all. Yes, one is there to do a job, so you get paid so don't need to be thanked, but to actually have to go out of the way to correct or "educate" customers that they shouldn't thank us was over the top. The over use of "literally" when people mean "figuratively" Link to post Share on other sites

Palindrome, SASS #54445 0 Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 When checking out at a store, the cashier might say, "Did you find everything?". This actually makes me chuckle. Fillmore I usually answer, "yes, except for an efficient check out line" but they know I'm joking. Then when they offer to help me to my car, I just offer to go quietly.
