Phrases that need to die a quick, excruciating death

OCD! Ok kid, you may have a disorder but it's called being an idiot.

OCD is a good one as an exclamation one makes to another, but it's particularly obnoxious as an excuse for being meticulous and/or an *******.

For example, "I need to double check your work... I'm OCD like that."

Alright Pal, there are people in this world who actually suffer from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Their disease is not an excuse for you to be a dick.

Am I the only one who likes the phrase "first world problems?"

I find it quite satisfying to dismiss somebody's petty, whiny complaints with this phrase.

But, Dwight does present the most convincing argument to date to abandon this phrase:

At work the other day a salesman came in and gave us a 45 minute presentation. I lost count of his use of the word "basically" after about 100.

I realize it was his version of a spacer-word like "um" or "ah"...but after the first 5 or so times in the first two sentences, I decided to make a little drinking game out of it and I took a sip of water each time he said it. A couple of my coworkers caught on and joined the game, too.

I don't know if the presenter ever caught on to our game (or if he just thought we were really thirsty), but instead of a Q&A session at the end, there was a mad rush for the bathroom.

I knew my boss was going on vacation the end of last week. I didn't realize he was moonlighting as a salesman.

How about TLDR

If you are going to go through the effort to summarize up whatever the hell it is you are talking about, why not do it in the first place?

Just saw this on yahoo. A Chic Fil A manager issued a list of words his employees can't use because they are unprofessional. Very funny. The whole article is here:

Even though I don't use that slang (I am not a teenager) if a manager handed me a list of words I was forbidden to use I would find ways to annoy him just for the hell of it.

Of course I've worked most of my life on a drilling rig, expectations are a little different there.

Yes, I manage a restaurant and our language can get quite colorful at times. I couldn't imagine how much of a micromanager this guy is. I think it's funny.

If I worked there, I'd tell the manager to take his minimum wage job and shove it.

They're not getting paid enough for that type of petty micromanagement.

And of course this is happening at Chic Fil A...

Uh... selfie? #selfie?

My best friends girlfriend sends out snapchats to everyone that are comprised of a selfie and a hashtag.

#downtownselfie - I can see it's you and that you are downtown, but thanks for labeling it for me. Not to mention hashtags on a picture that self destructs in ~10 seconds? It hurts.

You know...spacer like um when people. No, I don't know. That's why I asked you to talk about your product. If I knew, I wouldn't be talking to you.

"To make a long story short"

is usually said after a f**king long boring story

Whenever I hear someone say "to make a long story short..." I reply, "Too late."

At work someone created a spreadsheet to randomly generate a BINGO card with all the catch phrases commonly used in the daily supply chain meeting. After a couple weeks, there were about 20 of these secret "supply chain bingo" cards around the room. Then one day someone let a "Bingo" slip out and the fun was quickly over. Fortunately that person did not jump out of their chair, and I managed not to shoot coffee out my nose.

My coworkers and I once played a "drinking game" at a team meeting (the drink was coffee...). Every time the big boss said, "Reach Out" all of us would take a drink from our coffee in unison. It took him a while...but he stopped saying it.

I just say, can you give me the man version please? It works great with the wife and coworkers alike.

Dude, this **** drives me up a wall.

A) selfies... People who take nonstop pictures of themselves in the kitchen, after a jog, at work, eating lunch, after dropping a huge ****, etc.

No one gives a ****!! And I say it them.

B) #texting #postingonHBT #brewingin6hours #drinkingdalespaleale

Again... Who ****ing reads this ****. When my son is old enough to comprehend things, I'll tell him that the person who was run over by a train, or the guy who drove his car into a retention pond, it was because they used hashtags
