Subject: RE: BS: Stop doing this right now!
Yeah, my one is "Well, that's life I'm afraid" when you're suffering some major personal tragedy or are being evicted or have lost your job or something. I hate that. Its as if the person who said it to you has undergone many tragedies without aid, and that you would be better off without their support too. Cheers.

Have to say, though, I'm one of those who can't stop saying "You know what I mean?" at the end of every sentence. I hate doing it but sometimes its the only way of sparking a response such as a nod or a "yeah".

The worst thing of all has to be people putting an apostrophe in words like the '70s', '80s' and '90s'. Ugh.
