jerryskids 6,554 Posted May 9, 2023 I'm sick of this word. Everyone these days uses it as some sort of catch-all thank you response, or just an acknowledgment of something you did. Has anyone else been experiencing this? Example at Mayo today: Nurse: What's your date of birth? Me: [answers] Nurse: Perfect! (like, I I need a trophy because I know my birth date?) Nurse: Can I use this arm for your blood pressure Me: Sure Nurse: Perfect! (like, a perfectly selected arm of my two available options?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,152 Posted May 9, 2023 For myself it would be of course, I say thank you , they should respond with welcome, I get back of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pimpadeaux 2,404 Posted May 9, 2023 I'm glad someone besides me finds annoyance in this usage of this word. Me: Yeah, I need to make an appointment to have a colonoscopy. Receptionist: We have opening at 10 a.m. next Thursday. Will that work. Me: Yeah. Receptionist: PERFECT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,557 Posted May 10, 2023 I don't mind people saying perfect in the context described in this thread. These people deal with absolute shìtbags all day. And I know most people reading this think everyone else are the shìtbags, but consider that everyone you talk to is assuming you're the shìtbag and they are the only person with any sense. So you have these folks that think you're a shìtbag and all they're trying to do is their job, but all day shìtbags can't even pick an arm to put a blood pressure cuff on or decide on a appointment time without hassling these poor people. So the bar gets set pretty low. They're probably so relieved you guys didn't give them a hard time while they're doing these mundane tasks, they just want to give you that positive feedback.

If people didn't say anything to you after you bussed the table or fetched another keg, you'd be crying about that. And if they didn't give you feedback that they heard what you said and you couldn't tell if they heard you or not, you'd be crying about that too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
