things people say you are tired of hearing

[Honest]

"I could care less."

IF YOU COULD YOU WOULD CARE LESS! GOSH PEOPLE IT'S I COULDN'T CARE LESS!

Isn't it actually correct, cause that phrase is said with sarcasm? :c That's what I'd always thought, anyway.

No, most of the time people are just stupid when they say that instead of couldn't...

 

[Astinus]

"I could care less I just choose not to"?

But I've heard that it's always wrong because of what Mac said. If someone could care less, then why don't they? I don't know. I don't care about the saying. :V

The worst phrase for me that I'm tired of is "The customer is always right." Customers at my store always try to argue with me about what a sale tag says or what product goes to what tag. I'm the person who's fully trained to read tags, items, bar codes, and prices. Don't argue with me because you're too cheap, don't respect people who work in grocery stores, and are apparently too blind to read the giant black bold font that points out how much you save when the item is on sale. No, you don't get your half-gallon of organic low sodium light almond milk for thirty cents.

"Literally". It is literally my least favourite word in the English language. Literally.

Outside of that, I don't know. I don't really have time for people who say irritating things to me so it doesn't happen too much. I guess the most annoying thing would be some sort of variation on "what would people think?". I really do not care what people think, family.

"Stop being so shy!"
Sorry, it's not my fault and you aren't helping it.
"What you waiting to get a GF?"
It's not because I'm 16 that I need one asap. I'm also good being single.
"Wow, you've gotten so tall"
Yeah, I have already noticed thanks.

 

[Aeroblast]

Saying something in the lines of "you just got owned!" - Even if I'm not at the "target."

I mean, what's the point?

 

[Broken_Arrow]

The word "Sorry" when it's said once and again... i don't like to hear it...if someone is sorry they need to prove it with act.

that's what i have in mind right now

"Okay, now this shouldn't be hard for you if you've been paying attention"
Translated: "This is going to be hard for everyone, as I didn't teach this"

"This shouldn't take too long"
Translated: "You're going to be staying up all night doing homework"

"You'll only feel a slight amount of pressure"
Translated: "This will hurt like hell, so brace yourself"

 

[Crunch Punch]

"Oh my gosh, I remember when you were a kid years ago you were so small and now suddenly you've grown!" - literally every relative I've met over the last year

I wouldn't be so mad about this if it wasn't for every single person saying the same thing.

"Oh my gosh, I remember when you were a kid years ago you were so small and now suddenly you've grown!" - literally every relative I've met over the last year

This. Along with "You look so big now!" So you expect me to stay the same height forever? Yeah no.

For me personally:

When I'm with my older brother: 'Are you guys twins?"

No we're not. I can see how we look similar , we are related and share some of the same traits/genes. But we're NOT exactly identical looking. I don't get how people don't notice the difference between us. The only thing I can see how people assume we're twin is that we're pretty much the same height. That's all though.

"You're __? I thought you were 16/17 years old?"
No I'm 21. This is why I grew out my goatee. It makes me look older. I still get this question though. Freaking youthful face. D:

When I tell people my mom died when I was 8:"You were so young. That must of been hard to deal with at your age. You're so brave."
No not really I had my dad and most of my family there to support me. I made it through with their help.

When I tell people my mom died :""I know just how you feel. My ____________ passed away."
Cause you know, it's not like death is a part of life or something. I get you're trying to relate to me and show sympathy, but that's something everyone deals with. Everyone knows someone in their life who died. Not just that, this saying is so cliche that it's tiresome.

"Do you have a girlfriend yet?"/"Do you have a crush on anyone?"
My aunt is usually the one who says this, but also many other family members do too. I know I'm 21 and most people my age have had at least one relationship and some are even married, but I'm just not looking for anyone to date atm the moment. I'm not interested in anyone either so please stop asking after I told you the billionth time no. I don't mind being single.

I kinda agree with you on that.
"Sorry"
even if its over the stupidest things. It drives me crazy when people say it but they do the same thing over and over. Might as well say "I'm not sorry".

 

[Nick]

I really hate it when I'm having a conversation with someone and they ask me "What do you mean,... <what I just said>?" The only way I reply to that is repeating what I just said or asking them what they think I mean. Or I just roll my eyes.

 

[Trev]

"Clean your room!"
Literally I hear this so much. Mom, I know you want my room clean, but I don't care if it's dirty. If no one's coming over, there's no need to clean it.

"Oh yeah, that happened to me too when I was younger!"
No. No it did not. You're just an attention-seeking *****face that wants to redirect every conversation back to yourself. Shut the hell up and let someone else have the spotlight for once.

"I know you have a crush on someone. Tell me who!"
No. I will not tell you who, because it's none of your business. Even if you're my best friend, my crushes are secrets because I don't want someone blurting the secret over the intercom at school for everyone in the whole wide world to know. I don't pester you, so don't pester me.

"For sweetest day, he..." "On Valentine's Day, my boyfriend/girlfriend got me..." "I just love him/her so much!"
JESUS CHRIST SHUT THE HELL UP I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DAMN RELATIONSHIP NO ONE CARES YOU'RE GONNA BREAK UP IN A MONTH ANYWAY AND THEN GET BACK TOGETHER FOR NO REASON AND REPEAT IT FOR FIVE MORE MONTHS UNTIL THE RELATIONSHIP IS FINALLY OVER LOVE SUCKS JUST BE QUIET AND LET ME WALLOW IN MY SINGLE PITY

... Among others, those are the worst. I can't tell you how many times I hear stuff like this in one day and promptly go insane. I also hate people who overuse the word "like" when describing something. Look in a damn dictionary for once in your life.

 

[Elysieum]

Lately I've become irritated by people who suffix a sentence with "I'm just saying". Like "Hey, that quote on your shirt could be quite offensive, I'm just saying".

Obviously you want whatever you said to be taken seriously, so it's never just something you said for no reason. It's like a cop-out, a hit and run.

 

[Altair1]

These two quotes that are mentioned far too often...

''Only God can judge me.''
''Don't judge my choices without knowing my reasons.''

It's more than likely their choices are for the wrong reasons anyway.
Not that I care, it's just that people try to 'justify' themselves with these over used quotes.

HA! This. "Only God can judge me"? ***** please I just did XD I think it comes from fearing being judged - which is interesting, if they were soo cool with what they were doing to begin with, it wouldn't matter who's judging or not.

 

[goldengyarados]

Any blatantly offensive comment that is preceded by ''No offense but...''

Anyone is welcome to try and offend me (it's pretty hard) but at least be honest in your intentions.

 

[Melody]

"...Life isn't fair" (and it's similar variations)
...Gee, you think? If you want to be sympathetic, don't say this. If you're giving advice, don't give this, it doesn't make me feel better or help solve my problem. You might as well not say anything at all if this is your conclusion or your point.

"I didn't have _____ when I was your age!" or similarly, "You've got it easy!"
Duh. You lived in a different generation and situation. Stop comparing your experiences to mine and deriding my problems because you perceived yours at that time to be worst. If I'm asking your advice, don't belittle me or my own problem while giving it to me. It's rude.

"You should ____<Reiterate question in different words and offer no useful advice>___"
If I asked you a question, please don't spit it back at me. If I say "How do I X" and you say "Well, you need to do X", then you're not helping.

 

[acatfrommars]

A lot of my bosses used to say this at work: "If you got time to lean, you got time to clean." Okay, that's easy to say if you're not the ones cleaning. Most of the time they would say that then they would go have a friendly chat with another coworker. It would really perturb me.

 

[Mystify]

"You've changed."

Wow. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to grow as a person and no longer fit the mold of what you want me to be.

"You'll change your mind in a few years, just wait and see!"

No. You don't know me. I might change my mind, but then I might not. Don't act like you're inside of my head and know me better than I know myself.

"Why do you like that? I don't like it."

...Who do you even think you are?
