honestly, i LOVE this expression......it can be used in a lot of ways......both serious and humorous.

That one does not bother me so much as someone trying to tell me it is the very last time they will do something and we better jump right in to buy, one or even more. When they make the sale URGENT I am turned off.

I have the same reaction. It seems akmost rude to me. I feel like i'm being ordered to wait and my first thought is usually, "why should I".

ITA! It's so overworked, like many other phrases, that it means nothing. English is a beautiful, comprehensive language, with many ways to say things, instead of resorting to cliches.
