I don't know if this story is true, but I remember hearing years ago when mobile phones were still quite new, a story of a man chatting away on his mobile whilst on the train. The story goes that someone was taken ill, and when their friend approached this man asking him to call for help, and eventually grabbed his phone off him, it was a toy. Can't even remember who told me that, and it may be total bo!!ocks, but to be honest, I can believe it, and Lizzy's story just reminded me of it. Aaaaanyway, back to annoying phrases. Just asked Mrs Keef, and she said it really gets her when people interrupt with "I'll stop you there", which I have to agree, is rather obnoxious.
