I notice people putting themselves in a similar position on 'thrift' apps (Vinted etc).In a similar vein I could point out that, "your house is not selling because it is overpriced". If you price something appropriately then it will sell.
I peruse through all sorts of listings, but the one of most odd things to read and come across is when someone is selling something that has obviously seen better days and has little to no value left in it (whether it's an accessory or an item of clothing or footwear etc etc) yet the item is unrealistically priced and the seller puts in the description 'I paid £100 for this brand new'.
It doesn't matter. Your jacket or whatever needs to be binned or listed for a fiver.
It's like selling your battered rust bucket banger major MOT failure of a motor that is worth scrap money, but you price it as though it's a reliable car in good condition, because 'it cost me £20k brand new'.
Now I live in the world of on-line meetings an expression I hear far too much is when the person chairing the meeting proudly says at the end "I'll give you X minutes back" as if they are doing you all a big favour by not running right up to the scheduled meeting end time. Is that an expression heard anywhere but the civil service? I always feel like then saying "No you wont because I'm going to take that time back by blathering on about something else!"

I've gone from public to private sector, and it is used here too. Yesterday we got given "8 minutes back" - how lucky for us snuffy said:
I will let you go.
Always said by someone on the dog and bone when they want to end the call. No, I want to go, is what you are failing to say.
HAHAHAHAHA that is hilariously true. Always said by someone on the dog and bone when they want to end the call. No, I want to go, is what you are failing to say.
Fairly sure Mrs UTH says that every single time she's on the phone to her parents. And because she's my wife, of course it's one of the little things that drives me mad.
