The Open Matt Project

Uh, Yeah, mm-hmm, Ok, Yeah

Please, please, please spare me from excess banality. If you are going to run down to the store to pick up a paper, please do not spend more time telling me about it than it takes to actually do it. If some random you don't know from Adam said something rude to someone else you don't give two shits about, please don't bother telling me about it - you shouldn't care in the first place, much less me. If I've told you "yeah, you told me about this," please do not interperet that as an affirmative conversational sound like "uh-huh" or "really?" It's not. It means I don't want to hear it again.

Oh, and just for good measure - if you only know five phrases, for god's sake use them sparingly. Only comic book heroes should have catch phrases.
