Phrases & Terms that bug me

I'm sure you all care oh so much, but I'm bored so....

- referring to regular mail as "snail mail" - not cute... annoying

- "you didn't gain it all at once, don't expect to lose it all at once"
   a) how do you know I didn't gain it all at once?
   b) not really all that helpful

- anything having to do with Twitter or tweeting

- when people say "I could care less" - If you say that it means that you care, because you could care less than you currently do.  The phrase is " I couldn't care less" implying that you care so little you possibly couldn't care any less than you do already.

- starting a sentence with "not to be rude, but..." OK if you start a sentence like that then you definitely are going to be rude so either embrace it and just be rude or don't say it.

Other annoying things:  Posts like this one.  But hey, I'm bored so if you are too share the sayings that bug you.  Its great for stress relief.

Oh I meant the reply: "I'm good."  Doesn't necessarily mean that they're being good if they're feeling well?

Good point.

But I still have issues with the automatic and trite nature of the question.  Sometimes it IS actually okay to wait for coffee and say nothing.
