Grrrr......

My 'Keep Religion Out of Christmas Campaign' seemed to be going well, I hardly heard any mention of Jesus last year and it was his birthday on the 25th so that's good going but then he has been sidelined in favour of the Jolly Fat Man with the presents for a while now so give it a few years and it will be 'Jesus who? and we can all stop killing each other over which of the religions is more peaceful because religion will be consigned to the history books along with the Earth being flat and eating bread crusts will make your hair curly.
Hopefully we can move onto old cliched phrases that we hear over and over in certain situations which really need to be taken out of circulation such as when you go out for a meal and the sharing platter arrives and someone says: “Well here’s mine, what’s everyone else having?' or if you ask someone if they want sugar in their tea and they reply: 'No thanks, I’m sweet enough' for which hard labour in a Siberian prison is too kind.  
Another one is when you are washing your car and the neighbour walks by and says 'You can do mine next' or 'You’ve missed a bit' which has you scanning Law Books to see if there is some long forgotten law still on the statute books which allows you to tie them to your bumper and drag them across the City.
Another one is if you ask someone the time and they say 'Time you got a watch' or look at their wrist and say 'Hair past a freckle' or when you drop and break something, you hear a voice say: 'Don;t think you wanted to do that', no shit Sherlock.
If you someone starts a sentence with: 'No offense, but..' or 'I'm not Racist but...' then it doesn't stop what follows being offensive or racist and if something 'goes without saying' then why are you still going to fecking say it?
'Can I get' to a shop assistant should be answered with,'No, i'm here so i will get it for you' and 'Hot enough for ya? in the middle of Summer should be punishable by being held upside down by your ankles from a car park and being asked high enough for ya?
Probably the worst one is when you ask someone a question and they reply: 'I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you' which has you wishing someone would because then you wouldn't have to hear that cliched utterance again and 'Working hard or hardly working' should be met with the reply harder than you obviously.
