Annoying phrase you are tired of

People who wrap up a meeting with "I can give you some time back". No bitch, you still took my time that I could have been doing something productive. Just because you booked 30 minutes for a 5 minute meeting that we could have handled via an email, don't act like you are doing some great service for me. You ending the meeting early just means I can get to one of the 2 or 3 other meetings also booked at this time.
I never ran staff meetings. They're useless unless the corporation has something important to say. I would hold a 10 minute DMM (Daily morning meeting) in my office (bring your coffee) simply to find out what everyone was working on that day and who needed the collective wisdom of the team at large. We would often talk about last nights hockey game in the end. The ladies would roll their eyes and leave laughing.
 
I use that when I've already said something at least three times and someone STILL isn't hearing me. guilty.

the alternative is "look dumbfuck, I already told you how to do this three times..."
just pokin at our resident curmudgeon a bit...

You can never get time back. And free time is the most valuable thing that we have.
