I received one of those lists in an email at once. It was funny then and is still funny now because you know we've all said those things, even if just under our breaths.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen the one "You Might Need to Pray at Work"? It reminds me of that one as well.
Those are great. I'll be saying "that's interesting" quite frequently at work now....lol
ReplyDeleteI laughed at this; partly because I've used many of the suggested phrases. Guess I'm a bit too PC at times
