I was hoping someone would mention buzzword bingo. We used to do that too! It made meetings bearable. Especially long strategy sessions where the bigwigs gave us their thoughts on the future of the company.....

How about on Monday, the person who feels the need to tell you and everyone around them what they did over the weekend, in great detail.
They ask you how your weekend was, you say good! How was yours?.........15 minutes later you are still hearing about it
Yup, this just happened to me

Any statement that involves the phrase "touch base." As in, "I just wanted to touch base with you on...." or "let's touch base about this tomorrow." Don't know why......just bugs me. It's overused.
Now that I'm pregnant, there is a whole new slew of things that people say that annoy me.....lots of unsolicited advice and stories, lots of anwering the same questions over and over again.....and lots of people wanting to touch my belly.
