'Sayings' that get on your nerves

Arghh, ''cheer up, it might never happen''

I think that's the most annoying one for me

FUCK YOU, IM IN A GROWLER BECAUSE IT JUST DID :rage:

Or, ''It could be worse'' unless, just said in jest, that really gets on my tits, same with 'there's always someone worse off than you'' Does that make my situation any better?! Fuck offfff :rage:
 
I hate the saying "as a matter of fact." Usually when people say this its not even a fact at all but most of the time just their opinion or perspective.

Also I hate the saying "When in Rome..." because even in other places not everyone does the same things. My girlfriend (while in China) tried to get me to eat the stomach of some animal using this expression....I later found out that only very few people eat it even in this country.

What goes around comes around is another....because shit comes around either way it seems.
 
'Relax', Jeff told me this today, 'cause I was ranting over something, and I flipped the hell out. It's just as damn annoying as 'calm down' is. Fuck off.

I think by now he just laughs it off that I rage at those words, but the spiteful part is that he keeps fucking saying it. :rage:
 
"Aw, cheer up!" As if this makes everything bad in my life go away. Thank you very much.

I also hate "Relax." It just makes you angrier!
 
  • "Its my body, I can do whatever I want with it!" (Shrieking: "I can do whatever I want!!!" at 12 years of age didn't do much to win maturity points. There's no perceivable reason this changes with age.)
  • "Just breathe.." (Big thanks for the deep adivce. I totally intended to hold my breath until I passed out.)
 
Now that I think of it, there's a fair few phrases that really grind on my nerves depending upon the context they're used in.

'What people do in their private time doesn't concern you.' - Of course, if I don't know what people are doing in their private time, I'm not going to be bothered am I? Yet when the same lusty couple are near constantly spouting out intimate details about what they've done behind closed doors, it becomes an issue for me. Oh, and if it's something potentially harmful or illegal than you can bet I'm not going to be impressed!

'No offence, but...' I don't mind if you're pointing out something important, but please keep it civil, polite and above all else subtle! We all have our flaws and quirks, but pointing them out in a negative manner under the guise of not wanting to cause offence just grates on my patience.

'You mad bro???' There really isn't any viable response to this that won't make the opposition feel as though they've 'won' at infuriating their target; especially if they can hide behind the anonymity of the internet and proceed to say whatever they like.

I'd write more, but I think that shall suffice for now!
 
"you looked bored"- I work in a supermarket and people say this to me a lot if I have an empty till and they come with their trolley. Yeah, I looked bored. I was just having 5 minutes thinking about that sexy guy who works on the shop floor. Far from bored thanks. (and I was lying about the sexy guy...there aren't any, but you know, having 5 mins to myself doesn't mean I'm bored)

Again in work. I have to offer help packing, and I get loads of people saying "No, I need help with paying though" and they piss themselves laughing like they're the first person to ever say it. It wasn't funny the first time.

Perhaps not really a saying, but I hate it when people say "texes" for "texts".

"...at the end of the day..." Just ugh. Especially when people have a major habit of saying it. I know people who say this at every other sentence.
 
I'm not sure if this counts, but it's the age old relationship crap such as "It's not your fault, it's mine", then they proceed to pin the blame on you.

If not, there's also "Yes, can i help you?" when you're not even looking at the person. Had to put up with that for 5 days. You know what's wrong?! I'm Bored?! You're the host, do something about it!?
 
I hear all the kids these days saying, 'Epic.' Seriously. <_< It just sounds wierd in general.

I prefer the old, 'Wicked.' or 'Sick as.'

Another more annoying saying is, 'My other half.' or 'My better half.' or 'Hubby.'

I shudder when I hear bogan women use those terms. Why can't you just say, 'My husband' or 'My partner.' ?

They use less syllables if saying it quicker is what you're worried about.

The one I hate the most and I always hear it from the most bogan disgusting women, is 'I'm on the rag.'

Seriously EWW!!! I picture a gross old rag with blood all over it. It's disgusting!!!

Number 1. I don't need to know that.
Number 2. If you are going to share this information, please say it in nicer less sickening terms, such as, 'It's my time of the month.'

Even the American term, 'Crimson Wave.' is disturbing. Why would you surf on a wave of period blood. EWWW!!!
 
kandy you are a drongo bogan boong abbo :mokken:...:wacky:

also i hate the patronising "YOU FEEEEEEEEEEELING ROUGH TODAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYY" when you wake up after a night of drinking. probly with a hangover.

you already know i am so fuck off and leave me alone :hmph:

All Those words annoy me, especially wicked. I hate the word 'nap' its daft.

I hate when stupid stuart the safefy prick at work tells me to put my 'goggles' on. Theyre not fucking goggles you moron. Theyre glasses, safety fucking glasses. Goggles are what you wear when you go swimming mate.
 
I can't think of any standalone sayings or quotes that really irk me and make me want to punch the person who said it in the face; so I'm just going to pull some ones from other posters and shizz. Cool.

1) No offense but ...
I really, really, really hate it when people use this in an obviously offensive context. It's just so pretentious and insulting and it makes them look like pricks. Like my friend used this shit the other day when she practically called my boyfriend fat and I just wanted to smack her across the face. No, just no and if you're going to offend him then you might as well call him that and not have the audacity to say it to me. Like what am I your messenger, how would I look telling him to not get offended that you called him fat? You dumb ho obviously he's going to be annoyed/pissed off/enraged that you implied he's rotund, fat, overweight, when he clearly struggled with that. Cunts. :rage:

2) I hate to tell you this ...
Just popped into my head, oh shit, I thought of an actual annoying saying on my own. Woot! Anyway, this one irks me because it's another one of those contradictory statements that I feel people insert into equally daft contradictory insults. So for example, some prick could be like, "I hate to tell you this but that looks horrid on you." Like lasklsjoiujaodloiajoudouajodujoaujwsouaaahhhhhhaarrrrghblaaaAAAARGH! if you hated to tell me that then those offensive words wouldn't be cutting into my self confidence right now. Wouldn't you keep those nasty words to yourself. Like do some people not abide by the golden rule of, "if you don't have anything nice to say then keep your mouth shut" anymore? Fuck.

3) My *****
It's more of a pet peeve. I don't care if you're white, black, purple, yellow, gay, straight, a tranny, sexually confused or what, don't fucking say it to me. I'm not your ***** or your homie or your bitch or your wifey, I'm a fucking girl. I'm a female, I'm a young woman, and there are more socially acceptable terms you could use when addressing me. Or you could just call me by my name, "Taylor" it's got two vowels and four consonants and it shouldn't be that fucking hard to sound out. Why the hell do some people feel to refer to me as some bastardization of the 'n' word and be all dick-ish about it is beyond me. But I get pissed at them for it.

If I can find more terms I'll definitely add them here.
 
"I'm not a racist but..."

The people who say this always go on to say something obscenely racist, probably because they are racists. I know this because I use this sentence all of the time and I am a massive racist. Fuck purple people

i dont like that phrase if its used before someone says something that is clearly not racist. "im not a racist but that man is black". well thats not racist is it. :hmph:

"You can't have your cake and eat it to" :ffs:

Seriously? Who the hell came up with this saying? When I try to attempt to picture it's origin I picture a large russian lunch lady working at an American middle school. Hair on her moles are optional if you want to picture it with me.

It's simple, but it's most often used in situations where it doesn't really apply.
THIS!!

Ugh, I absolutely hate that saying. It just bugs the heck outta me. :hmph:

1. Why would anyone get a cake if they weren't gonna eat it? :hmph:
2. WHAT THE HECK WOULD BE THE POINT IN GETTING SAID CAKE IF YOU WERE NOT PLANNING ON EATING IT? :raye:

But yeah, that one annoys the whoo hah outta me like no other.:wacky:

But one that will just make me snap is...

"If I can do it, you can too!"

Okay... first of all. NO. That's just totally inconsiderate of anyone to say. Example, I was always told this ridiculous saying anytime I faced a problem in math. People would say "Oh, I was terrible at math and I can get this! If I can do it, you can too!"

No. :hmph:

It just makes no sense to me. You can't base another person's possibilities on your own accomplishments or failures. Just because Leona Lewis can sing doesn't mean I can, right?

RIGHT. :ffs:

Anytime someone says this to me, I just get so freaking discouraged... no matter what it's about.

Yeah, these are the only sayings that bother me. :hmmm:
 
There are no sayings that get on my nerves because I am not autistic.
You can't have you cake and eat it because, if you have eaten it, the cake no longer exists, ergo you cannot have it.
People should harden the fuck up, how can a saying get on your nerves unless your mentile.
