(2015) but very relevant today.

The other phrase that gets my goat is "for your convenience and safety". When I hear that, my first thought is it will be something inconvenient that doesn't improve my safety.

You could combine these two phrases!

"Out of an abundance of caution, we now require you to $SOMETHING for your convenience and safety."

> for your convenience and safety

I always assume they mean "for our convenience and safety".
