"you wouldnt want to jeopordize _________ by going with the bottom of the line option on this one"

hollyvangogh · 12-31-2007, 06:41 PM

they say anything that implies your health or safety relies on their service/product

"100% money back if you're not satisfied" (which they say knowing full well that most people don't have the time to figure out their complicated return system)

and my favorite "it's only $______.99" (doesn't matter if it's $1.99, or $199.99 - that money is usually better off elsewhere...especially a high yield savings account)

They say "Yoink!" and then run away with the cash.

"Can I borrow 2 bucks?" Even though they don't intend to pay you back. This annoys me a lot more than it should.

I guess they don't think I'll ask for it a week or 2 later, and then when I do they act all pissy like they're doing me a favour... ARGH now I'm

This is a robbery. Put all the money in the bag.

"That's less than you'd spend on a cup of coffee a day!"

Of course, if you get your coffee at Starbucks, you'd better be buying a car!

This thread reminds me of those "Famous last words" quotes.
