    I worked retail for just under one year and I wanted to climb up on the roof and start sniping people. I hated it so much.

    Can we talk after work?

    Why didn't you just try talking to me after work. Now I have to wait until after you are done working wondering what the heck you wanted to talk about, knowing it's not good.

    Phrases I hate.....
    Children saying, "I know."

    No, you don't know. You ain't been on this earth long enough to know.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    That wouldn't work for me.
    My grandchildren get their money from me. So if I take a dime each time, it's just change they are gonna get from me. 🙄🤣

    "We need to talk..."

    Usually right after lights out, after you've been trying to "talk" about "it" all day long.

    My boss is obsessed with "due diligence". I don't feel he uses it properly 99% of the time.

    At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

    I think that phrase must be in some management training course.

    Although, most mechanic managers like to use "cost-effective" instead of due diligence. But one of the fleet managers said that to me once and I asked him if he knew how really stupid that sounded.
    He evidently did not. 🤣

    Steve, I think it would be extra fun for all of us if you would confirm whether or not you knew that you already listed "We need to talk..." 11 years ago in this same thread. (Page one of this thread.)

    "I don't disagree" - so you agree?
    "Due to the fact" - just say "because"

    Shall our own selves conversate around this topic presently?

    These ones / Those ones.
    "Ones" is not needed. Just these and those.
