11 Things Smart People Won't Say

There are some things you simply never want to say at work. There's no taking them back once they slip out, either.

1. "It's not fair." 
2. "This is the way it's always been done." 
3. "No problem." 
4. "I think ... /This may be a silly idea ... /I'm going to ask a stupid question." 
5. "This will only take a minute." 
6. "I'll try." 
7. "He's lazy/incompetent/a jerk." 
8. "That's not in my job description." 
9. "It's not my fault." 
10. "I can't." 
11. "I hate this job."
