Don’t you just hate when people say.....

[Aunt Bea]

Call me, I would love to get together.

I only made that mistake once.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

I hate the way a couple announce that they are going to have a baby. It is usually the guy who says, "we are pregnant'" I think to myself, are you the one that's going to haul this kid around for 9 months and go through, who knows, how many hours of labor?
If you are, then "we" is fine with me.

"It's as easy as pie". Well, I find it a lot easier to BUY my pie. Or do they mean "pi"? I didn't find that easy, either.

 

[Sunny]

"It's only a game" in the middle of a bridge game or something. We all know it's only a game, but even games have rules, and if someone breaks a major rule, it should be (politely) mentioned.

i despise the phase "It is what it is"
i used to audit groups when they failed and we spoke about fixing issues the person said "it is what it is"
i almost lost my cool.

People often use that phrase when they screw up & don't want to admit it.

 

[Geezer Garage]

We're out of beer! Mike

 

[Knight]

When getting directions ending their help with you can't miss it.

exactly,
it is so dismissing and would rather hear them say "i don't give a ....."
means the same to me

 

[Sliverfox]

How about this one?

You look good for your age?
Is that the same as,,"you don't look 80'?

I've been know to say something dumb,,,call that 'insert foot into mouth disease'.

That's funny. I used to say that until my wife told me she hated it. Now I just think it.

 

[Pecos]

I find it irritating when I hear someone say: “I know exactly how you feel”.

Exactly, really?

"Oooooh, Molly, Molly, Molly, I think I think I'm in love."

I was going to say that one, but you said it first!!

Also: when people start by saying "I'm not gonna lie..." It comes off as confrontational.

But what really irks me: "Everybody" and/or "We all.." because it's usually connected to something negative.

 

[Jules]

Whatever.

"It's only a game" in the middle of a bridge game or something. We all know it's only a game, but even games have rules, and if someone breaks a major rule, it should be (politely) mentioned.

I remind myself or my husband of this at the end sometimes when we’ve had a really bad game. Or, “someone has to come last.”

 

[JustinCase]

After this thread, I'm speechless.

 

[Lara]

Racist this and racist that...
some people need to stop making color
part of their thought process about
every little thing...and racism will fade away.

They don't realize that they are the ones being racist
because they are the ones bringing up color
and blaming color on everything.
Just stop thinking of everyone as a color and move on.

that drives me nutz.. ''we'' ?... yep ok I'll agree when I see you both going through the pain of a 30 hour labour ...

We are expecting a baby..yes...We are pregnant?..bluddy NO

 

[RobinWren]

Vocabulary seems to be changing. When I am making an appointment or just having a conversation with a younger person " perfect" seems to be the extent of it. Where did that come from?

 

[Mandee]

Someone says - I don't want to upset you but......
then they go on to tell you something they know 'will' upset you. !!

That's right. They should say, "We had lotsa fun & now she's pregnant."

 

[win231]

Why does every answer to a question start with "So......."

 

[Chet]

"I will get back to you" and they don't. Then you have to chase them down and you get a lame excuse why they didn't.

 

[hollydolly]

Why does every answer to a question start with "So......."

..and every second or 3rd with 'like''.....?
