There's worse things said everywhere, but it doesn't validate using text talk like a teenager.

I also detest that people rely on smilies to denote the way in which something is said.

But hey, maybe its because I'm an old fashioned girl.

Smilies evoke emotion though. But some folk on here are obsessed and probably have [Poor language removed] loads of them bookmarked for any situation.

Me, I just try and minimise my smilie usage to happy or wink wink.

Agreed, but then clearly it's the style of it that you have a problem with, rather than the fact the text is abbreviated.

In general, I try to type properly all the time. In texts you can understand people wanting to keep their messages short with less characters, surely that's ok. I mean, that's partly why shorthand was invented isn't it. Crossing that over to things where there's nothing to stop you typing properly is poor.

This is a [Poor language removed] argument anyway, sorry about that.

Phrases that annoy me: mine's a...

That doesn't actually annoy me but it made me chuckle after 30 secs of trying to think of something.

i reckon the bloke who unlocks the phones on the market could crank the bugger up a bit, that would get them thinking outside the box, when they come to touch base.
 
Belter Alert....I was party to a particularly nasty piece of buzzword action earlier today...

I was on a conference call with some dudes from St Louis and one of them coined the phrase...

"Let's circle the wagons"

Noooooooooooo

That's a new one, but I instantly recognise it's place here.

Pure gold.
 
Whilst working I'm asked by some noob " What's the timeframe for this job ?" . TIMEFRAME ? I'm printing car stickers , not making a bloody clock.

NB I work for the company in Blackpool that prints many of the Everton car stickers. We always print extra so I don't have to buy any. I have the best decorated car in the car-park :D

I've not noticed any saying "Follow, Follow, Follow - EVERTON Are The Team To Follow!" - do you know if there are any plans for that one to be made, or have I missed it?
 
"we're not running a blame culture here..."

usually precedes crucifying some poor bugger

"Have you been in an accident that wasn't your fault?"

Sums up much of what's wrong in our litigious money for nothing society.
