Sayings that annoy you

[teebeeohh]

blablabla arrow to the knee
it's in the knee
wow, i just noticed that this would go really nice with people making fun of hawkeye
and pretty much every use of a double negative, it does not make you sound smart if you are able to handle more than one level of negation.

While only mildly annoying: "If it ain't broke don't fix it" used to drive me nuts. Usually cause it was what people used to defend sequels not improving much over the original. More often than not, I've found that ANYTHING can be improved.

This, if you really believe nothing should be improved unless broken then go back to using model Ts and leeches. Also "Just cheer up" is an annoying phrase whenever someone says that when I'm in a bad mood I want to punch them in the face and say "just calm down."

*just to give my post context, I am a generally kindhearted straight nerd with aspergers*

"stick and stones may break your bones, but word scan never hurt you!".

Yes. Yes they can. If everyone is telling you that you are a worthless cocksucking loser all the time when you're in your vulnerable teenage years, you will start to believe them.

Between that and some mild roughing up (never got actually beaten, thank God), it's no wonder my psyche is as stunted as it is today. It took me 5 years away form that hell of a high school, and finding a wonderful girlfriend before I was able to muster any kind of self esteem.

To this DAY, I have trouble being confident about anything I do. Which is not a good problem to have in a job interview. >_<. So yeah, words may not break bones, but they can sure as hell mess up your mental state and leaves scars on your psyche that will be problems for years to come.

'I could care less'

Couldn't.

It's 'I couldnt care less'.

[HEADING=1]ALL MY HATE![/HEADING]

This is a close second.

 

[RustlessPotato]

the phrase "needless to say, ..." and then they say what wasn't needed to say.

"No pun intended". In the time you wrote "no pun intended" you could've written something else. Even worse "pun intended".

"That May or may not be the case". No shit sherlock.

This though grinds my balls. " You shouldn't complain, it could be worse" or "First world problems" or "other people have it worse" or something along those lines. What, because somebody have it worse i shouldn't complain? I hardly ever complain and when I do it's because my labpartners don't do shit.

However, I do hate people who complain about every little thing like "My mom, you know the one who pays for my food, my education, makes sure I have a roof above my head, drives me to places etc.., wouldn't buy the new IPod, I hate that *****". Those people I can't stand though.

" But you can't prove that ! ". It isn't my job to prove your claim is false, it's yours to prove your claim is true damned !.

oh and : "everyone's unique !" used as an excuse to not follow basic rules. Indeed, you're unique, just like everyone else. You aren't special though, Steve ! I hate that guy.

Edit: just thought of another one: " like this if you were a 70/80/90s" kid or something along those lines on Facebook. Usually it is "liked" by people who were born in that period. For example: me, being a 20 year old am not a "90s" kid, even though I was born in them. The most relevant things to after being 10 or something. Who remembers being 5 ?

The phrase "It is what it is"

And also "moving forward"
ugh.....

I hear these at work all the time and they drive me nuts. Every time I hear "it is what it is" I want to cut their fckn vocal cords out with a rusty stapler.

 

[Combustion Kevin]

"It's what's on the inside that counts."

but it's the outside they see and judge me for!

 

[KingHodor]

"Love means never having to say you're sorry."

Blind, stupid love, maybe. Your partner has a right to call you out on your bullshit. Heck, maybe you didn't even know your behavior was hurting them. Saying you're sorry is an admission that you actually care. You can't fault someone for occassionally wanting to hear that you're still emotionally invested in your relationship.

 

[Rose and Thorn]

I guess the two main ones that come to thought are...

*Play it by ear*...my family uses this one a lot, so I grew up hating this phrase, they use it for everything and the sound of it has always grated ear drums.

*Whatsup*...the main thing I used to see from text messages, you know before I started to ignore them. I had "friends" that would text me "Hey whatsup?", I would go "Nothing much, you?" instead of using the, "Nothing at all my life is boring why do you keep asking?". Then they would go, "Nothing much"...and that would be the end of our "conversation".

'The night is darkest just before the dawn.' GRRRRR! No, it fucking isn't! I'm sure humanity could come up with a better metaphor, one that actually works!

 

[The Diabolical Biz]

A poor craftsman blames his tools.

I mean what the hell is that shit.

 

[Lovely Mixture]

A poor craftsman blames his tools.

I mean what the hell is that shit.

Was that rhetorical?

EDIT: Nevermind, I get what you're saying. A perfectly fine craftsman could easily blame his tools.

'The night is darkest just before the dawn.' GRRRRR! No, it fucking isn't! I'm sure humanity could come up with a better metaphor, one that actually works!

Yeah it's bad, but I just love how Eckhart said it in The Dark Knight

 

[Zeraki]

"Just stop being depressed, and be happy."(If I could just 'shut it off' I would... asshole. Anyone who has never had to go through depression shouldn't try to give those who are suffering with it advice on how to deal with it.)

"You need to get out more."(Usually coming from people you hardly know, yet they like to pretend they know everything about you, and exactly how your mind works.)




One of my personal favorites. "You don't drink!? You don't know what you're missing out on man!!!!1." Then they huddle up to the toilet, and worship the porcelain gods as they spend the night vomiting.

 

[NathLines]

"That's just the way it is/That's just how things are".

FUCK ME! Everything is the way it is! God damn it!

 

[Smeatza]

"I don't want to live on this planet anymore." Or any anti-humanity saying.

Because of what one person or a small group of people did invalidates the whole species. Makes sense. What worse is the people that say this always give some half-assed excuse like were literally killing Earth or technology makes our lives too easy. My sister has this mind set that we should all live as if we were natives. But she fails to understand that she would have died without modern medicine.

It's not serious, it's a Futurama reference.

Its sounds as if people have been misusing the phrase in which case take it back.
It's too good to be corrupted by ignorance.

OT:
Many of my friends have taken to replacing every single question with "what you saying?"
Instead of "how are you today?" - "what you saying?"
instead of "what are you doing?" - "what you saying?"
instead of "where are you?" - "what you saying?"

So....so...annoying.

 

[Tartarga]

I really hate "We're burning daylight." or any variation of it.

It makes no sense, daylight has no physical presence so it can't be burnt. I wish I could set light on fire and make it night time but I can't, it's not possible. Stop saying that.

 

[OneBrokePony]

I'm really tired of hearing people say someone threw someone/something under the bus.

 

[King of Asgaard]

'It's always in the last place you look.'
No shit, Sherlock.
Of course it is, because once you find what you were looking for, you stop looking, making the place where you found the item the last place you looked!
My rage. Please take all of it.

 

[jdogtwodolla]

The phrase "Such and such has jumped the shark" has officially jumped the shark.

Well Maybe It's about time someone nuked the fridge then huh? (Or I guess maybe fried the coke but not really)

I hate the saying "Stop feeling sorry for yourself."
What Does this mean? I feel disapointed and that makes me apologetic towards myself?
