Annoying phrases and sayings...

I have thought of some saying and phrases which i find rather annoying and again do we even realise we are saying them in conversation?

You should have stopped while you were ahead – I’ve realised that but thank you very much for pointing it out

Think outside the box – what box? This saying just puts an imaginary box above my head

Step up to the plate – what plate? And how do I get up there?

Put pen to paper – Does this saying just send your mind blank. Yes!

Enough said – This always seems to be followed by another sentence but you said..enough said.

What did I tell you? – yes you did but I don’t need you to tell me.

I beg to differ – this actually confuses me, does anyone know what this means? I have a sentence in my head using it but does it really make sense.

Six and two threes – four and two twos? Ten and two fives?

Cut to the chase – the chase?

Sooner rather than later – yes we all know sooner is better than later but sooner is not always possible to those lazy people.

And the winner for the most annoying of them all goes to…I told you so – no comment the phrase says it all!


Please comment if you feel the same about these comments or if you have any other ones that you find annoying..
