I am starting to loathe any company/individual that when they run a competition they include the phrase:
'Sharing is caring' :mad:
I'm sure there must be other phrases that have this effect on people, so what are they?

From marketing:
'That's why mums shop at Iceland' which is just plain sexist.
'I'm loving it' which is just awful English.
From the general public:
'Can I get...?'. If I was serving them, I'd reply: 'No, don't worry, I'll get it for you'!
'Please reach out to...' - no, I'll 'contact' them like I've always done!
