Writing is the only profession where no one considers you ridiculous if you earn no money. -Jules Renard
Yeah, I've worked as a freelance writer and with no other income everyone considered me ridiculous.

"If you want, you can".
Yeah, go say that to the thousands of people who got sacked right before Christmas so their factory's owner could give more money to their shareholders. I'm pretty sure they wanted to keep their jobs really bad, yet guess what? They can't.

Not a quote, but I f***ing HATE the word "guesstimate". Anyone who uses that in my presence loses some respect. It's either a guess or an estimate, asshole...pick one!

Writing isn't seen as such a noble pursuit these days. It is sad, but it is true. Plus less people these days understand following your heart and not your wallet.

"You should be thankful you HAVE a job"
Said by condescending managers. They use it as a threat more than a reassurance anymore.
I'm thankful I have a job, but sometimes I wonder if it's worth my health and sanity.

I'm more annoyed that it is one of the inspirational quotes in rotation that Wordpress puts up whenever I make a new posts. Since I have a wrestling blog it is a little silly to have a Jules Renard quote thrown at me when I make a posts titled, "The Ample Breasts of Player Uno."

I can't believe I forgot "Love it or leave it". Often used by politicians as a way to imply that criticizing them is criticizing the country, and if you hate the country so much, why don't you just leave? Except what they don't realize is that people criticize them BECAUSE they love their country.

Customer does something completely unrelated to me, usually due to their incompetence or laziness that just creates extra work on top of all of my actual duties: "Job security!"

"This is why you/we/they can't have nice things". It's such a stupid punchline.

The customer is always right. Except when s/he's wrong. Which is most of the time.

If someone asks me if I want to "come with", I stare at them blankly. When they ask what's up I ask them why they didn't finish their sentence.

As a kid, I LOATHED this line:
"It's a free country."
If it is, then maybe I can punch you in the face if I'm free to do anything?

If someone asks me if I want to "come with", I stare at them blankly. When they ask what's up I ask them why they didn't finish their sentence. When I lived in Wisconsin for a few years for my dad's job, people always used to ask me if I wanted to "come with" and then end the sentence there. I would always then ask "With what?" so I understand where you're coming from.

When I think of "come with," I think of when Moe asks Homer to come along to take down the sunblocker.
