Poor Use of Regular

Calling at 4:45 p.m.:

Our business hours are from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Please call back during regular business hours.

See, I am calling regular business hours, but you’re not open during regular business hours.

Protip: Don’t use words like “regular” or “normal”. Your normal may not actually be normal.
