annoying phrases
 

which is it?

when you hear one does it make you scrunch your hands into fists and silently beat the air in sheer frustration. or is that just me.

"Thinking outside the box"
"My bad"
"Touch base"

I involuntarily punch things when someone says this. It genuinely, and utterly irrationally, makes me very, very irritated.

Sorry, when I made my initial post I didn't know it was going to be a poll.
Given the choices I went with "at the end of the day," though "my bad" is the one that currently reigns supreme on my personal Annoyance Throne.

all or most of those phrases make me foam at the mouth with disgust.

cheer up, it might never happen

to which i always reply "it already has"

"It's all subjective". I'm usually moderately pleasant in conversation, until some idiot decides this means he has won the argument. Seconds later, blood lines their eyeballs and ass...

You've just stubbed your toe. You're hungover. It's early. "Oooh. I bet that hurt".

KILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLLKILL KILLL.

my Dad has a fuckin million sayings.. i swear to god lads its not funny he has one for every single occasion, one that really pees me off is when i havent shaved for a few days and i meet him he says..

"you stood a little too far back from the razor this morning Jerry"

like i said he has a million of em, some to rib you but most of em make me feel really good about myself if i'm blue.

love me Da me.

I think you get given a handbook called 'crap Dad phrases' when you become a father. One of my old man's favourites is, "He'll never sell any ice creams at that speed" when an ambulance goes past. Also, if someone says, "It's a small world" he will always say, "Wouldn't want to paint it though" and then laughs at his little joke.

I'm not complaining, it's only moderately annoying. I'll only end up doing it myself as well, so.

"Life's not fair, get used to it"
"Kappesh?"

My stepdad says these continously, but if life's not fair, it's best to try and make it as fair as possible.

It's called Blarney. You'll get it too one day, just you mind my words.

they are priceless!! hats off you yr Da, they are very funny.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Glice again.

At least you got your health

i will let you off with that one.

'Cheer up,it may never happen' is the most irritating phrase because i have been told that a few times when i was reading a book in a pub while having a pint.It is also normally a sign for people who are obviously sad themselves but want to put on a brave face and think that the whole world is synchronized with what they have in their heads.'No mate,i'm happy and relaxed and reading this rather nice book.It is you,twat,who should be doing the cheering up and not me'.

'smile. it may never happen'. thats another one for the list i fucking hate people who say that.

or 'it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile'. bill hicks response to this was ' yeah it takes more energy to point that out than it does to leave me alone. now why dont you walk away and watch me really start smiling'.

YES! Exactly. I voted this one. Just being told to cheer up in general gets on my tits ni a big way. I must have a generally miserable looking face because it happens to me quite a lot. It's usually when I am daydreaming and some cunt ruins it by interrupting me to tell me to 'cheer up'.

I'm going to use that icecream/ambulance one next time I see one. It's a classic.

at least you got your health.

WHO CARES ABOUT HEALTH!

"How was your day?"

My parents ask me this question EVERY....SINGLE.....FUCKING....DAY! I have asked them to stop, but NO! They keep on asking.
