Have you ever heard someone say "And now, a man who needs no introduction!" Then shut up, turn, and move smartly off stage? Or, more common follow that with 20 minutes of really boring introduction? A salesman cold called me and said "I have an incredible offer for you." I responded: "Incredible?, Well thanx for warning me in advance" and hung up the phone.
Have you heard someone say "I could care less"-- they are effectively saying that they do care, and wish they couldn't. (Which is the contextual opposite of what they're trying to say)
I hate it when im on the phone an hear this... " I will transfer you to someone that can help"... yeah right... anuther transfer an anuther transfer an then disconected.!!!
I told the last person that was gonna transfer me that i had been transfered for 55 minutes but no one has helped me... she was so sorry an transfered me to a manager... the manager was very nice an showed an interest in solvin the issue... she got back to me the next day an said she cant help me Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
