Has anyone else noticed that when talking about things people will say something, which doesn't need to be said, which just sounds wrong when you hear it.
Prime examples for me, as i work in halfords are people asking for front headlights, and rear brake lights...
I didnt know cars had rear headlights and front brake lights??
Anyone else noticed people saying things like that?
Its not something i get overly annoyed about, but it does make me laugh sometimes. just wanted to see what other things youve heard which dont really make sence.

"I think the fuse is broken"
When what they mean is..
"The fuse is working correctly as it has protected the system from damage"

Seems like the ideal opportunity to share some of the things that annoy me:
People who say 'obviously' when if it was obvious you wouldnt need to say it was...
People who say 'Basically' for no reason other than to pad out a sentence....
People who say 'swap out' instead of just 'swap'...

I work in a bike shop. People come in and say, 'i'm looking for a bike'. I always feel like saying: 'Sorry, dont sell those'.

the word "aint" annoys me. Or when you have a go at someone, and they say, they havent done nothing! So that means theyve done something?
And being called "mate" by someone i dont know or dislike annoys me.

at work the other day (im a forester who works for the MOD by the way) and we were going to be cutting back a track and generally just taking off the odd low branch etc, so out of curtisy we told the officer in charge of some squadys who were training in the woods next to the track, so we told him what we were doing (cutting back the odd branch) he turns round to his platoon and says "listen up lads these guys are going to be doing some de-forestation so stay out of there way". no as far as i no cutting back some branches does not count as de-forestation!!!!!!!

i work in a picture framers, people come in and ask if we frame pictures or mirrors. the shop is full of them!! yes sometimes i just say "no...
" but it depends who it is and what sort of day.

Brilliant! The frustrating thing is i'm the manager so i can never do it (unless its a regular customer). Setting a good example and all that...
