3 sayings that people can't seem to complete a sentence without saying! Annoying!

It would seem that no one I know can complete a sentence without saying,

"I'm not being funny but..."

"At the end of the day..."

"And then he turned around and said..." Did he really? Did he turn in a circle then say?

They are really annoying me as people say them so frequently.

I hate the first one, coz maybe I am just blunt, but if you've got something to say you should say it!

My husband is always moaning about people on TV saying "basically" - he hates it.

My husband's one is saying "It's a case of..." at the start of every sentence. I actually told him today i was going to punch him in the head everytime he said it:p Drives me nuts! Not the sentence itself, more the fact that he says it constantly:mad:

Drives me up the wall.

I'm not being funny but this has already been said multiple times in multiple threads on these forums. At the end of the day your just repeating what the the last person who started a thread just like this siad. I also pointed that out to him too so he turned around and said It would seem that no one I know can complete a sentence without saying,

I get fed up with people who don't finish their sent............
Also when they use of instead of have.

I work with someone who has the most annoying set of saying's he repeats all day long, they are:

'On something like that I'd have to say...'
'I know nothing on the grounds that it might incriminate someone'
'A large hammer and a bottle of whiskey'
'I'm Donald Duck and Goofy is out the back'

To name but a few.

We usually take the mick out of him by trying to fit as many of his sayings into a sentence as possible. We also have running bets on how long he can keep a conversation going with a customer because he never shuts up!

'Do you see what I mean/where I'm coming from?' Explain fully what you mean, then I don't have to 'see' what you mean!

'To be honest'. Well I don't expect you to lie! I take it somewhat for granted that you're automatically being honest when speaking with me.

'You won't believe this but...'. So why tell me anything if I won't believe what you're saying - waste of time really!

They are just said so frequently and are annoying me so much.

There is a man at work who says "at this present moment in time" a lot. We have a little chuckle.

"Basically" is another one that annoys me too!
