When I hear an under 25 year old say "Back in the day...."
I am sorry kiddo, you haven't had your day yet!!!!
I am sorry kiddo, you haven't had your day yet!!!!
Any young person that utters this, I pause and look at them quizically and ask them what it means because I don't know. F$&ks them EVERY time .Surreal, when it really isn't.
Literally every word in this thread.
Peter Betham said:"I literally lit up. They'd all stitched me up.''
Maybe he just fired up a fat stogie to celebrate. #oldskoolThis was from Peter Betham yesterday in a Foxsports article.
I hope someone was around with a fire extinguisher to put him out. Or a Geiger counter if he was glowing rather than on fire.
Speaking of HR,don't some wankers now call that department
"People & Culture"
Grrrrrrr!
Really? I appreciate they often can't, or don't help you. But the question is inoffensive, I think?"Have a nice day" from every insincere American customer service assistant.
"Can I help you?" from every American customer service assistant on sales commission.
"Let's cross live now to blah blah blah" by Ch 9 newsreaders when they cross live to a reporter standing in the dark at a location where nothing's happening but something did happen maybe 8 hours ago.
"Your call is important to us" the recorded greeting from bloody Vodafone, Telstra or a myriad of other companies who pretend they give a shit about you or your call.

But I guess I see what you mean.
I don't know why but this shits me off. Finishing an email or statement with:
' if you have a question, don't hesitate to call.'
Why would I hesitate? Will I sit there for a few minutes deliberating over whether to ask a question? I want to call, but I shouldn't, but I need to call, but I don't want to disturb them, but I need to ask this question. Hang on a minute they said don't hesitate. What am I doing, I'll give them a call.
If you dumped a turd on me, I don't think there is any kind of sign off that would placate meI'm guilty of this one, but I tend to only use it when delivering bad news. It's the polite way of acknowledging I have just dumped a turd on someone, but feel free to give me a call and I'll make placatory gestures down the phone to make you feel better.
