	'Bear with me' I answer the phone at work all day, and NEVER use that phrase. I'd rather say 'Hang on a minute', but usually say, 'This may take some time - how about you e-mail me, then I'll reply when the system's responding, or the hamsters come out of hibernation, whichever is quickest' (We've got a new system at work that is very slow and slows down every other system we use - but obviously is the 'brainchild' of a friend of higher management) Bear with me - No, you push on your own!!!

	When you ask someone to confirm what day/date it is...... ie, 'is today the 7th?' and they say ' Yeah, all day'?.....! A very irritating unamusing reply!

	I get home from work at 5:30 - and 'Jamies 15 minute meals' is on. I can't stand him! He repeats the same phrases night after night - and his meals seem to consist mainly of cous cous, rice and chilli 'Just give it a wazz' 'a bi' uh' something

	I was in town earlier. A man passed a woman coming the other way and said " Hi, how are you ? Allright ? Good" and walked on. She didn't even open her mouth. M
