Quotes we use
We all heard the classic customer/coworker quotes, but what are some things YOU say or do to piss off your boss.
For instance I used to say "garbage in, garbage out".
My boss hated that, I think it ultimately aided in my demise with that company (ugly firing)

"If they wanted it done right they wouldn't have sent it here."
The boss really hates when I say that.

It seems like people(not just customers) expect you to know what they want even if they don't tell you and to that I say: "If I could read minds I wouldn't be working here!" (I usualy don't say it out loud though)

"Just because you've been doing something for 20 years, doesn't mean you've doing it right..."
Imagine the sneers I get from that.

these are two of my personal favorites:
"I can't work late tonight".
"Why?"
"Just can't"
"I'm unavailable this weekend"
Man, that really pisses them off!
