annoying phrases

jon boy · 10.20.2006, 09:14 AM

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.

"My bad"
"Touch base"

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.

jon boy · 10.20.2006, 09:24 AM

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

screamingskull · 10.20.2006, 09:27 AM

cheer up, it might never happen

to which i always reply "it already has"

Glice · 10.20.2006, 09:27 AM

"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".

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.

Inhuman · 10.20.2006, 09:45 AM

"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.

i will let you off with that one.

porkmarras · 10.20.2006, 10:10 AM

'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'.

jon boy · 10.20.2006, 10:22 AM

'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'.

Iain · 10.20.2006, 11:07 AM

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

Trasher02 · 10.20.2006, 11:42 AM

WHO CARES ABOUT HEALTH!

LittlePuppetBoy · 10.20.2006, 11:45 AM

"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.
