Rant: Habitual sayings that people say that you hate.

Post by jim »

"That's not a problem".

No [expletive] it's not a problem.

Conversation I just had on the phone:

"Hi this is Sally with Eegroblatz and I was wondering how you process your GIS information for tiddly wink blam blue sky?"

-- I have no idea what you just said.

"That's not a problem. Would you know who in your organization is responsible for maps?"

-- Maps? Like where am I kind of maps? Like how do I get home type of maps?

"Uh .... blubber blubber ... uh yeah, digital"

-- What are you talking about?

"That's not a problem. So you don't process diddly fud green grass blatz gif's?"

-- Uh ... no.

"That's not a problem. Thanks for your time.

...

Well you know what, it kind of is a problem [expletive]. Because I'm sick of these types of phone calls. The problem isn't that I don't know what you are talking about, it's that you asked the dumb ass question. I swear everytime someone says "That's not a problem" I just want to say "No [expletive] it's not problem".

I hate when store clerks say "no problem" after I say thank you. No [expletive] it's "no problem" because it's your [expletive] job you slacker. How about a proper "you're welcome" instead.

When people are being interviewed, and they answer, "No, yeah I think that...". Or the reverse, "Yeah, no I will not."

Also, "job creators".

"That's fine," when I tell one of my guys I need something done. No [expletive] it's fine, I just told you to do it.

I hate people who say "impacted" when they mean "affected."
