Have you ever been in a stressful situation, where somebody is getting on your nerves and all you want is 1 line to get them to go away. These useful expressions should solve that problem. ...



Well, aren\'t we just a ray of sunshine?

Not the brightest crayon in the box now, are we?

Don\'t bother me. I\'m living happily ever after.

Do I look like a people person?

This isn\'t an office. It\'s Hell with fluorescent lighting.

Well, aren\'t we just a ray of sunshine?

Don\'t bother me. I\'m living happily ever after.

Do I look like a people person?

This isn\'t an office. It\'s Hell with fluorescent lighting.

I pretend to work. They pretend to pay me.

You! Off my planet !!

Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap is cheap! You choose.

Practice random acts of intelligence & senseless acts of self-control.

I like cats too. Let\'s exchange recipes.

Errors have been made. Others will be blamed.

And your cry-baby whiny-assed opinion would be...?

I\'m not crazy, I\'ve just been in a very bad mood for 30 years.

Sarcasm is just one more service we offer.

Do they ever shut up on your planet?

I\'m just working here till a good fast-food job opens up.

I\'m trying to imagine you with a personality.

A cubicle is just a padded cell without a door.

Stress is when you wake up screaming & you realize you haven\'t fallen asleep yet.

I can\'t remember if I\'m the good twin or the evil one.

How many times do I have to flush before you go away?

I just want revenge. Is that so wrong?

I work 40 hours a week to be this poor.

Can I trade this job for what\'s behind door #2?

Too many freaks, not enough circuses.

Chaos, panic, and disorder - my work here is done.

Earth is full. Go home.

Is it time for your medication or mine?

Aw, did I step on your poor little bitty ego?

I plead contemporary insanity.

How do I set a laser printer to stun?

I\'m not tense, just terribly, terribly alert.

When I want your opinion, I\'ll give it to you

Gracias:) Jul 6, 2002

Justo lo que necesitaba leer este sábado por la mañana, después de una semana bastante \"stressful\".

Buen fin de semana a todos los ProZianos!

cann't you use these at the phone as well? Jul 7, 2002

Since I am a one-woman-show in my office, maybe I can use these for friendly phone intruders who have all the time of the world for talking about (uninteresting) news....however, need some German versions... ) Ursula

Then there\'s the classic English schoolboy putdown: \"Go knit yourself a slice of cake!\"
