I picked up a book of 北京土话 that I've been meaning to get through someday, motivated in part by the suspicion that some of the words have fallen out of use or were never real beijinghua to begin with. Maybe the 劳驾 falls into one of those two categories. I don't recall hearing it, but that doesn't mean much. 甭, on the other hand, is alive and well at least in our family-lect -- YU, PBS and Mrs. BJS all use it with some frequency (although I wouldn't describe it as a mere contraction for 不用 but as something at least connotatively different) @hsknotes — Good point.

I've never heard these ever anywhere else, and rarely outside of textbooks and serious users of beijinghua.
