What is everyones catch phrase they hate to hear..

At work we have a guy that says "It's like catnip..." and he'll list what the current thing is. He is also really big into office space movie quotes....

Glad I have the day off, but he sent me an email this morning it had the catnip quote and I am tarding out and needing to rant.

    "it is what it is" is annoying to me, but I hear it so much I've started using it...which is even more annoying!

    It's not a phrase its just a word liberally used in my office and it drives me nuts. "Tasked/Tasking" as in "I'm tasking Joe with researching the new project" "I've been tasked with <insert generally menial office duty here>" I don't know why it bugs me so much- probably overuse...

    i really hate the "it is what it is" thing, so every time someone says "it is what it is" i reply, "maybe, but its not what it could be"

    I don't even know what "it's like catnip" means.... but it would definitely irritate me. I hope I never hear someone say it. It would go to the top of my list probably.
