TreasureKY -> RE: The most hated phrase (5/15/2008 6:56:29 AM)

Hard to pinpoint any one phrase, but essentially any that patronize me with vague promises for the future with regard to something that interests me... ones like, "we'll have to do that sometime", "we'll discuss that later", "that's something for us to think about for the future", etc. Experience has shown me that "sometime", "later", and "the future" rarely ever arrive and comments like these generally turn out to be just ways to gently and noncommittedly put me off. I would much rather someone be upfront with me and say, "that's not something that interests me", "that's not a bad idea, but it's not one we'll ever get around to doing", or "that's not something I care to discuss".
