airdvr 210 #1 January 14, 2013 Anyone else hate this stupid phrase? Typically at the end of a pitch for something this person wants you to buy. If I'm interested why do I need your permission to contact you? Grrrr. It ranks a close second to "to be honest with you."Please don't dent the planet.

popsjumper 2 #6 January 15, 2013 You want to call me? You NEED my permission. Well, me having a phone would help, too. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're complaining about common courtesy? I use that phrase when I'm willing to do someone a favor. I want them to know I really mean it, not just trying to sound nice. I don't use it when I'm selling a car or something like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #20 January 15, 2013 I use it at work, in emails. To me it's just a show of diligence/ willingness: 'Hope you have the info you need, but if not please feel free to contact me.' It is a little redundant, because I doubt anyone would otherwise sit there fretting about whether I'd mind being contacted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

davjohns 1 #22 January 15, 2013 I like, "There you are!" As if I didn't know where I was. lolI know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..
