    "All our agents are busy assisting other customers" - translation: our only agent is in the bathroom playing Call of Duty.

      “Please listen to this entire message, as our menu options have changed.”  How do they know if I’m calling before or after the so-called menu changes? What a lie. 

    :(

    It’s not over until it’s over. 

    At the end of the day.

    For all intensive purposes. (It’s intents and purposes, moron!)

    People of color. (How is that any different or any better than saying colored people?)

    Pardon my French.

    VIN number. 

    ATM machine.

    PIN number.

    Let’s not and say we did.

    Spare the rod, spoil the child.

      “Meet-cute.“

      “We’re pregnant.”

      Anything that begins with or includes “I seen”.
