I Don't Like It When People Say ... sayings people trot out that make you angry ...

[Greyson]

I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN PEOPLE SAY ...'I have paid my debt to society' ... usually said in a self righteous defensive manner. What they should say is 'I have had a slap on the wrist and got off really lightly, I will never be able to undo the pain I have caused other people.'
.

 

[Trade]

I don't like it when people say Dude, Dude.

 

[Shalimar]

Let's see, how about, you look good for your age? Wrong thing to say to a woman. Or calm down, often said by some men who are affronted by ladies expressing strong opinions.

 

[Butterfly]

"Everything will be all right," when clearly it won't.

 

[Pappy]

I'll get right back to you........sure they will.

 

[Grumpy Ol' Man]

I hate people ending sentences in prepositions! One of our daughters is always asking "Where are you at?" It's supposed to be "Where are you?" Leave the preposition off the end of the sentence!!

 

[moviequeen1]

'you know,you know'

 

[Lolly]

I hate it when people say.. "You know me, I'll always be honest with you".... Well... sometimes honesty is not the best policy... it can be unnecessarily hurtful and used as excuse for being insulting.

 

[Jackie22]

"I say this because I'm concerned about you."

 

[Robusta]

"Hardworking American" Good God; what an overused hackneyed phrase.
Got news for you politicians and others. There are a hell of a lot of Americans that are NOT hardworking.
I despise pandering!

 

[Toomuchstuff]

Guys,Dude,Bro ........ to me - it's disrespectful. I also hate the saying .... ( and usually the person saying it ).." If you're not part of the solution . you're part of the problem".
I've bitten my tongue so many times , I'm surprised I can still talk !

 

[Pappy]

Another overused phrase: It is what it is.

 

[Lara]

"Life is too short". What. Would you rather live to be 200?

 

[Falcon]

"To say the least." ugh!

 

[Camper6]

I don't like it when people say Dude, Dude.

I know the feeling. L.O.L.

 

[Camper6]

I am surprised to hear people say 'Good on you'. It was always 'Good for you'. It has morphed.

 

[Falcon]

I hate people ending sentences in prepositions! One of our daughters is always asking "Where are you at?" It's supposed to be "Where are you?" Leave the preposition off the end of the sentence!!

"One should never use a preposition to end a sentence with !

 

[SeaBreeze]

"To make a long story short"......it never does.

I see. So you're one of those.

 

[Lara]

"My bad".

 

[JaniceM]

I dislike all kinds of 'pat' expressions, but at the top of my peeves list are various popular expressions about 'the Past'-
as in 'Don't bring up the Past,' 'Living in the Past,' and even 'The Past is the Past.'
I've read/heard these examples in recent years when someone wants to get the better of you in a disagreement or argument that hasn't been resolved, to cause people to doubt themselves, and to claim sensible values are no longer relevant.

 

[RadishRose]

Just a second. It's usually 5 or 10 minutes.

 

[Lara]

...and "Someday" is usually never

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

Have a nice day. I doubt the workers who are told to say that really care if I have a nice day or not. Just goodbye is enough for me. Recently the cashiers have been saying at checkout, did you find everything you wanted? I told the cashier to tell her boss I was looking for lower prices but they didn't have any.

 

[Lara]

Can you imagine the grocery checkout clerk having to ask everyone coming through the line "paper or plastic bag"? I even get tired of answering.
