if anybody else says" ABSOLUTELY" TO ME ONE MORE TIME.. ............


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :'(

Its 'Bless' that gets me

I  agree  absolutely  ;)

Fantastic,,,absolutely superb..why 'telly' people have to use these words constantly..then when you really 'need' them to highlight genuine observation they sound lame because they are over used.
Grumpy morning moments... ;D
So Betula..what started your 'absolutely' situation off then?

A work colleague says it all the time ,no matter what you say.Does my head in,now his partner has started saying it(my boss).Now I love her,she is a great boss.She gave me a lovely plant for doing her a small favour but please please stop it.They have also started emphasising it,drawing it out ...........

Had BBC breakfast on and the presenter said it..............please stop it now  :(

Perhaps you need to start using it in work yourself..drop it in conversation so often that penny finally drops how ridiculous they sound.. ;) Just try to look totally innocent that they don't think you are taking mickey.. ;D ;D

Now you've started something Betula...my pet hate is when someone uses their hand thumb and finger to mimic using a phone. I also hate the quotation mark gesture at the side of their head. it drives me nuts!!

Well basically, I agree with you.  But only basically.    :-*  Cheers,    Tony.

Roughly about... is the one that annoys me,or worse still... as well.

As well is used over here all the time, constantly, I don't think they have heard of  ..also.. or ..too.

The weather channel folks use it at the end of every sentence.

I have to admit I use ..wonderful.. a lot!!

That's one I don't like.  And when people say "comprises of".  And when people refer to themselves as "myself" rather than "me", like they're just too important for such a small word.  And in writing when people use a big "K" of kilo, and a small "m" for mega - are they just going out of  their way to annoy me?

Last time I heard that my head LITERALLY exploded.

Painful  :o

what  if  and so what is an other one   eeeeek

After reporting a stolen credit card the girl ended my call by saying "Have a nice day"...well I guess it had to get better, but it's an expression I loathe.

oh here here, Betula.    I just hate it.   I also hate children being referred to as 'KIDS'   I also hate hearing Dogs being called DUGS  which they do up here.  It makes me cringe.

???

You phone some company and have a helpful and productive conversation. All is well and you're just about to thank them and hang up when out it comes:"Is there anything else I can help you with today?" At this point I can feel my blood pressure rising and I want to use lots of expletives and shout and scream:"If I'd wanted anything else I'd have asked you"!!!!!!!! :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(


Silly really but there it is! ;)

For me ..................... At the end of the day ......................

'Amazing' is still overused, so is 'perfect' all of a sudden. What is 'perfect' about my name and address, I'd like to know... ::)
and the next politician to start an answer with 'look' is going to get an amazingly perfect boot up the backside.

..'having said that'...................grrrr!

and the number of times David Cameron uses  ' incredibly'.............

and on TV people saying the 'amount of' for nouns. I always shout at the TV screen when that happens!

Carol, let's start a campaign because I hate the word KIDS too. We need to continually moan about this word, one which virtually amounts to disrespect for our children.
