Verbal Pet Peeves
Everyone has their own verbal pet peeves, but odds are you and your co-workers have more in common than you think when it comes to phrases that should never be spoken in the office.

After performing extensive research, scholars at Oxford University and Author Jeremy Butterfield have devised a list of the ten most irritating phrases uttered by humans.

This top ten list appears in Butterfield’s latest book, “Damp Squid,” which was comprised from books, papers, magazines, journals, broadcast media and other sources:

1. At the end of the day
2. Fairly unique
3. I personally
4. At this moment in time
5. With all due respect
6. Absolutely
7. It’s a nightmare
8. Shouldn’t of
9. 24/7
10. It’s not rocket science

If you have others that should be on the list, let me know.
