You never know your luck......
How annoying is that saying...lol:roll:
Similar to "you can't have your cake and eat it."
What it is referring to is someone who wants two non compatible outcomes. In the example of the proverb, they want to have the cake, but if they eat the cake they no longer have the cake, but they still want it.
I think. :)

You can't seem to have a conversation without someone saying "At the end of the day", very, very annoying, to me the end of the day means it gets dark and you go to bed! I prefer to say "ultimately".

If find the statement "get a life" both shocking & dreadful
I find it slightly annoying when people talk about their PIN number - you mean your Personal Identification Number Number rather than your PI number. *sighs*

"You the Maaaaan!!" Shudder! Cringe!
This is a "must see" movie!
What's going to happen to me if I don't see it?
An expression which I find annoying can be found in TV shows like Star Trek. (Not The Original Series...)"It's some kind of particle wave, it's some kind of alien, it's some kind of REALLY ANNOYING EXPRESSION!!!!
It's some kind of..........
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

My favourite worst expression was when you would be told to "go away and boil your heid."Always had visions of these wee boys going into their houses after school and asking their Mum's to put a saucepan of water on the cooker again!!!!!!
"Stop crying or I'll give you something to cry about."
All of yous "dry your eyes" lol
Bugs the ell out of me
On those "special" offers on TV..........when they say, "But wait! You also get..."
Don't worry I wasn't going anywhere...
People who say, "I'm not going there!" most emphatically and then proceed to GO there! i.e. they tell you at length what their opinion is and when you try to put in yout two ha'porth, they say, "I said, I'm not going there!" Grrrr!!! :roll:
I'll take my hand off your face!
picking your nose when you are a bairn, and being asked to give a whistle when you get to the bridge. took me years to work that one out.
moanin that you're bored, gettin told to stick yer bum out the window and throw stones at it (HOW!!??)
what day is it? Tuesday, all day, argh!
Agree with the PIN / number, duh.
sayin, oh i got a sore hand, bein told, just keep it til it's better then. grrrrr.
"Have you the right time?"
"No,will the wrong time do?"
"I'm off on holiday"
"Anywhere nice?"
"No, I prefer to go to rubbish places"
hmmm so many to choose from. This prob falls under "general gripe" but here goes.
A person pops their head in the door and asks, Is this the law office? (NOOO mate, its the terlet and would ya shut the door plz?)
Never mind that the door to the building says law office, the sign at bottom of stairwell says law office and big sign on the actual door says law office.
Other annoying expressions:
Have a good one (a good one WHAT, could ya be more specific in your wishes for me?)
Some snacks and whatnot......(whatnot? cant ya think of the right food item? not sure i wanna eat whatnot)
I'll keep you apprised....( why dont you just let me know when you have more info)

"Sorry...what was the name again."
"What !what was it? do you want my name now or before I came here or maybe sometime in the future?"
"No I mean I need your name."
"My name why do want my name do you not have one of your own?"
"I need to put you down!"
"Put me down I only came in for a filling"
"Now what were you wanting?"
"What was I wanting when."
"What did you need?"
"What did I need, I needed you before now thanks"
"Have a nice Day!" (Moronic american speak)
"At the end of the Day,..." (Moronic speak from people who listen to footballers on the TV)
"Good shout!" (Moronic speak from go-getters)
"Nae bother" (Moronic speak from easy going people)
"Basically, .." (Moronic speak from people who are trying to sound intelligent)

I love you, but i'm not in love with you?????:confused: What does it mean...
"I'll tell you something for nothing"
What does that mean???????
"At the end of the day"
Which flippin' day is that??
The Loafer
We'll have to put this on a back burner!
"No offence but..."
Clearly you are about to say something offensive or you wouldn’t have started the sentence with this… And the very fact that you did means that you know you are about to be offensive but are just too lazy to stop yourself. Grrr. [mad]
Whats 'ouavoua'?
Think this might be a reference to the Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer quiz show "Shooting Stars" where if the contestants got the question wrong they heard "Ouvavou".
If they won the bonus prize they heard "Eeranou".....
But then I could be hearing a loud Ouvavou....

"Error 404 - File Not Found"
Arghhhh, fix those links (note to self)
My fav is: "Error 417 - Expectation Failed"
Yes is did when 404 was not found.
This one goes through my head when I have to phone a callcentre:
"Error 677 - A person answered instead of a modem."
Listen you guys, at the end of the day, we’ve just gotta get on with life. No offence but some of these comments are just like so “Error 404 – File not found” you know what I mean? Basically we’ve got to accept people for who and what they are, so it is. You want a better world? Well you can’t have your cake and eat it! So I suggest everyone just get a life and have some kind of proper conversation!
;)
SAVEY, you had to do it didn't you. Grrrr....! :o)
"Get a life!" - They're moving, they're talking, they haven't screwed the coffin lid down yet, looks like life to me.
The other is, "What Ever!", when somebody isn't getting their own way.
"Know wat a mean innat no!"
"Awrite Big Man!"
"Im not one to gossip but....did you hear about ...!"
"Do you want cashback??.....
"What on earth were u thinking?.....
"Have you put the Colour TV in the cupboard!!!... TV detector vans in the street!"

Old Wifie says "Mobile Phones for Christmas!!, it wouldna hev been allowed when I wis a bairn!!". Correct Granny, they were not invented then!!
"That's the snow on", "Is it Lying?", "No it's telling the truth!!"

Lift the "yersel" up at the end until your voice is squeaky and glare at them with a manic grin. They won't ask you that again.
