“No Problem” spoken by clerks and waitstaff. I should think that my simple request for some ketchup, a clean spoon, or my check would not be a problem.
The term “transparency” used by high up muckity muck supervisors and/or politicians. When they use that term, I know they are hiding something.
“I’m going to put you on hold” which is where I was put for approximately 35 minutes this afternoon when attempting to straighten out a problem with a service provider. The second time I was put on hold, was at my own request, as I could not, after about 10 attempts of the representative repeating her statements, understand a word she was saying. She spoke with a very heavy accent (I’m guessing Mumbai) and it sounded like she was standing on an airport tarmac with wind and planes taking off.
“I need a pin number to complete this transaction.” No you don’t! You mailed me the special promotional card and it does not have a pin number on it, only a promotional code! I realize that the cards that you purchase from the store have a pin number printed on them, but this card was not purchased at the store, you sent it to me in the mail with a PROMO CODE number on it. I am trying to give you my credit card number so that I may USE THE PROMO CODE CARD THAT YOU MAILED TO ME! No, that is not my zip code. You have the wrong zip code. I just gave you the correct zip code, you need to change that in your files. I know that you think my zip code is something else, but I assure you, Madame, that that zip code does not exist in this county, it is incorrect. The correct zip code is on all of the billing information that you have sent to me in the past 10 years, including on the package with the card with the PROMO CODE that I am trying to use. Then she said, “May I put you on hold?” Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
