    It's reassuring to see how many people find the same phrases annoying.

    One more:

    'narrative' as in agenda, point of view, stance, or whatever: I'm not sure people that use that word regularly are too clear themselves what it means.

    Cop on.

    It’s used regularly here in Ireland.

    Used instead of ‘common sense’ by many who don’t have it either tbh 🙄😂😂

    I know it's not a phrase, but those two little quote signs that people make with their middle and forefingers of each hand are really irritating.

    Because you often see it in public places and sometimes it gets trodden in which is unclean and unhygienic.

    From the USA. It’s Maths - no comma or apostrophe as far as I’m aware.

    You know if you clear up after your dog and forget that it's in your coat pocket for a few days :#
    I find a plastic bag works better.

    I’m not keen on the word ‘awesome’ or the way people say ‘that’s a disaster’ when they encounter a minor problem

    "I am reaching out to you" instead of "I am contacting you".
    It sounds very marketing speak to me.

    Since the Liz Truss thing and the little sound-meme of it that Nick Abbott plays I've become aware of how many people use 'Absolutely' for a range of positive responses. It's become like a little annoying ear-worm now.

    Reach out ...wtf
    Eg Human resources will reach out to you 

    The only person ever allowed to reach out should be Levi Stubbs 
    Completely agree; it’s awful. 

    In my experience it seems to have stemmed from people excusing non responses from colleagues (usually more senior people). 

    Seems to me that you might that say ‘well I did email already but they have simply not responded’ and them responding  ‘well reach out to them again’ and not being honest enough to say they are the sort of colleagues who only respond to certain colleagues / seniority or maybe don’t ‘do email’ only a phone call or a face to face exchange. And you apparently are meant to know and accept this. 

    Amazes me how many people think it’s ok to ignore colleagues and create a whole chain of chasing and spin off conversations as a result 😡
