I collected four of my favourites, but it was only yesterday that I was able to add a fifth to give you my top five phrases that were better left unsaid:
- I saw it with my own eyesWell as far as I'm aware it's quite difficult to see with someone else's eyes - well at least without a fair amount of surgery!
- We're only humanInteresting that this can often be used as an excuse. Now if we were more robotic there would of course be no excuses necessary!!
- In my mind I'm seeing...
Curious concept, where else would you see? Perhaps this would be better revised to just 'I'm envisaging...' or 'I'd like to see it this way...' I rarely hear phrases such as 'In my mouth I'm tasting...' or 'In my nose I'm smelling...'!!! - Keep breathing
Now this was in the gym and it is fair to say that on the odd occasion I personally find it useful to be reminded. However I would like to think the reminder would be better served via my lungs and that it would come long before I really needed reminding!!!! - The same but differentAnother gym phrase. How does this work? If it is the same, it is the same; if it's different than in no way shape or form can it be the same....? Surely??!!!!! Hey I'm not complaining, just observing!
I'll be keeping 'my ears peeled' (yeuk!) for more!!
