Ooops sorry.....my bad.

Question - is it me or is "My bad" one of THE most annoying phrases in the history of annoying phrases?
Other phrases I wish would hit the rubbish bin (a short list):

1. "At the end of the day"
2. "It is what it is"
3. "That's what she said"
Warspite1

Agree wholeheartedly with the first two.

One I hear from my Yankee colleagues all the time at work - well used to as they are ex-colleagues, what with me having got the push an' all in January - is:

Now is time to fish or cut bait

AAARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
Everything in this phrase would qualify...

Done. I've put Shina in contact with both Brittany and Tom. [:)]

Don't remember if I've posted this one before. If so, bear with me.

U.S. Army believed they had too many officers and decided to offer an early retirement bonus.
They promised the officers who volunteered retirement a bonus of $ 1.000 for every inch measured in a straight line between two points on his body.
The officers were free to choose what those two points would be.

The first officer who accepted asked that he would be measured from the top of his head to the tip of his toes.
His measurement was 72 inches and he went out with a bonus of $ 72,000.

The second officer who accepted was a little smarter and asked to be measured from the tip of his outstretched hands to his toes.
He walked out with $ 96,000.

The third was an old warrant officer, a real grizzly bear. When they asked how he would like to be measured, he replied
"From the tip of the penis to my testicles."

They wondered if maybe he would not reconsider its dimensions, and talks about the nice big bonuses the previous two officers had received.
But the old officer insisted, and they decided to let him have his measurements done as he wished. The measurement was performed by a medical officer.

The doctor came and gave the officer the order to "drop 'em", which he did.
The doctor puts out the measuring tape at the tip and begins to measure down when he suddenly exclaims ..
- "Oh my God! Where are your testicles?"
- "In Vietnam."

Warspite- those were phrases that annoy me, and yes, I was signing off for a bit. Not much goes on in the grain department this time of the year until about June 15th, so we have customer appreciation dinners and such...

Thinking outside the box is another over used phrase, and rather annoying at work...
