...I hear at the office:

1) Mocking the way chinese restaurant workers talk.
2) Conversation about the weather as if it were the most important thing in the news.
3) "Yeah, something's going around" (always said whenever anyone calls out sick)

To be continued...

6) "Well,I don't really know how to do that..." = "...and I don't wanna learn 'cause I'm a lazy bastard"
7) "Hey, I know you're busy and all but..." = "I have no respect for your work load and I want you to drop everything you're doing and do this for me right now"

These may not be totally fitting in with the tone of the thread but I had to vent. LOL

oh well then there's this...

8) "I'm Rick James, bitch!" (not just for college douchebags - grown "professional" adults still throw this one around)

and I swear I still hear "Whew...TGIF!" EVERY FUCKING FRIDAY

I have mastered the art of sounding interested on the phone whilst not being in the least bit interested at all.

It was a long and arduous apprenticeship, but I got there in the end.

"That's outside the scope the project" is equivalent to "Yeah, it needs to be done, but I'm not going to do it".

And my least favorite phrase that is used CONSTANTLY in my office "Try to think outside the box".

I'm really sick of hearing things like, "Brad, you're making the rest of us uncomfortable." or "Brad, please put your pants back on." or "Brad, you're fired."

Really tired of that.

I think "That's not my job" or "That's not part of my job" are universal whether your a jizz-mopper or a CEO.

Every meeting at work always end with the same line "Any questions"? Nobody raises their hand, but everbody spends the rest of the day bitching about what they should have said:

"I was gonna ask..."
"I should a asked..."
"I don't understand..."
"Why are we...."

One of my co-workers likes to laugh really loud when he's reading Fark in the morning. He does this so people will come over and ask what he's laughing at, so he can then go down the very hilarious list of wacky news items that site has to offer. His bait works every time on the same handful of people. I make sure that I go out of my way to dot he opposite. When he lets out that fake, louder-than-normal laugh, I walk off to get a refill of coffee, timing it so he will know I'm doing it on cue. Of course he doesn't get the hint.

That's kinda funny considering it's probably coming from a exec who has a 1000 sq ft office to someone who works in a 5 sq ft cubicle. Outside of the box? I work in a box, maybe if I shared your office.

Maybe, maybe not, in this case the offensiveness is debatable, What your co-worker is referring to is the fact that since Stefani has gone solo, she's picked up a harem of 3 non-speaking asian women to follow her everywhere she goes (awards shows, appearances). They just kind of pose behind her, and they dance in the videos. And your co-worker is right, it is kind of wierd.

Not sure how universal this is, but every once in a while our GM will bring breakfast into our Department Head Meetings. Donuts, croissants etc. And DURING THE MEETING the Receptionist will just walk in the conference room, grab whatever she wants, doesn't ask, doesn't acknowledge anybody, and just walks out. Now don't get me wrong, I think if some of us have food then we all should have food, but you don't just walk into a meeting and take whatever you want without saying a word. That never fails to piss me off (yeah she's done it more than once)

Everybody in my office's technology department is smarter than their boss. And they've all got a better way of doing things than anybody else. We would be working in a technilogical utopia if only we used "Brand X" products instead of the ones we have.

I don't know what you guys call them but anyone whom in a conversation always ups the ante, or "1 uppers" as i call them.

Example: "I had to work 10 hours last night." I say, not trying to sound cool or anything, just making a simple statement.

Then some jerkoff, usually someone you weren't even talking to, says "Try working 20 hours a day, like i do, and then come complain to me about hard work okay!"

Not everything is a fucking competition, you fucking morons, shut the fuck up and try to contribute something decent to the human race!

The Jesus mobile in the parking lot.
It's got three snide bumper stickers on it bragging about how the driver is going to heaven and a huge sun blocker in the windshield proclaiming, "Want to live longer? Ask Jesus!" This fucker is parked right in front of a building entrance as well. Naturally, the driver is a quick tempered little troll.
Tied for second- The Jimmy Buffet bumper sticker and all the magnetic ribbons.

Janitors or restaurant employees filling up the paper towel or napkin holders with so much material you cannot actually get any napkins or paper towels out of their respective containers. I'm standing there with wet hands ripping off tiny pieces of paper towel at a time cause it's all shoved in there too tight to pull one out.
