Always prefaced with "please listen carefully ". Logically, it's bullshit. Changed from what? From yesterday? A month ago? A year ago? How would they know when you may have last called?
And what if they don't provide this warning? What's the worst that could happen? You hit 2 before hearing the menu, and you get the wrong option. Wow, that's tragic.
More bullshit. It's important to you, that's why you're willing to sit on hold for 20 minutes, before being disconnected. If it was important to them, they'd dedicate a person to answer your call.What we're all dying to know is: Do they all still have a recorded message telling you your call is important to them?
My favorite is when a company calls you, and then puts you on hold.
Actually, that is not bullshit. Mrs Scotch worked for a big health insurance company doing customer service, and all her calls were recorded and reviewed by supervisors/managers.
All right, I stand corrected – but I still refuse to believe any of the sweepstakes ads that tell me I "may already be a winner."
I'm seeing a lot of these inane tag-lines on social media comments:
Just sayin';
Asking for a friend;
Just my two cents.

Sliced bread has been commercially available since 1928. Prior to that time, consumers would buy whole loaves and slice them at home. I'm really annoyed by hearing new products and inventions called "the greatest thing since sliced bread." Really? So you think your product is greater than computers, cellphones, televisions, microwave ovens, video recorders, transistor radios, ballpoint pens, e-books, 3D printing, satellites, pacemakers and all the thousands of other amazing inventions of the past 90 years? Think again.
Maybe I mentioned this somewhere else, but it belongs here.
I keep hearing the phrase "There's the money shot!" For all sorts of polite conversation, especially on home-buying shows. When a couple is looking at at beachfront home, they walk out to the balcony, see the view of the ocean, and say it.
It's a porn term! It means one thing - when the guy finishes on the girl. That's the undisputed origin of the phrase. Do people not understand this?
