XXX # of pounds gone forever!!! I really HATE hearing that saying, because I know how easy it is to gain it back with the least bit of stress. I've seen too many people say that exact phrase and gain back everything they lost. I might be the only one this bothers, but it honestly does irk me.0

I absolutely LOATHE when people write an email to multiple people and start it off by saying "Hey All" or "All".
I effing HATE that! My name is not All! If you're writing to multiple people, just use a generic saying like "Hello", "Hi", Good Morning/Afternoon" etc.
How friggin' hard is that??!!
Also, I hate, hate, HATE, when people say sorry to someone after a loved one passes away.
Why are you sorry? Is it your fault they died?
This was said to me so many times after my dad passed away, I wanted to vomit every time I heard it.
I think it's "sorry" as in I feel for you, not "sorry" as in a I apologize...I suppose0 -
I think many of us are guilty of at least one thing on this thread.Wait!....What?
As a high school teacher this makes me want to puke.
oh no...I'm guilty of this!

"Everything happens for a reason." As an atheist, this one really gets to me. I also loathe when people say "I could care less" rather than "I couldn't care less." It's like they aren't even thinking about what they are saying.0

My Bad
FML
Honestly
Everything's copacetic - I really hate this one!0 -
"Irregardless" totally drives me insane.
yes! this is exactly it!0 -
Karma will come his/her way
....honestly I don't believe in Karma. No one knows if that person will EVER get what they have coming to them...0 -
Same difference....drives me crazy!!!0
-
"Back in the day . . ." in my history class. When was "the day" exactly? Was there just one other day? And everything happened on it?0
-
"I'll pray for you" is my number one most hated phrase. Even though I don't believe in god I don't mind when people say it in a nice way. Okay, I don't like it, it makes me feel awkward, but I can accept it. However, the number of times I have had this aimed at me along with "CPS should take away your children" or "You're going to hell" just because I have tattoos and purple hair makes me want to vomit every time I hear it.0

"My Bad".
My mother taught me proper grammar (by constantly correcting me).
Therefore this statement is completely illogical to me!! 0 -
"I'll pray for you" "CPS should take away your children" or "You're going to hell"
those are expressions?0 -
I know, right? - Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo soooooo sooo annoying!0
-
1. "There's nothing you (or we) can do"
I'm not a submissive person so whenever I hear this phrase, I feel like hitting the one who said that with a steel rod. While there are indeed some things that is way beyond our control but that doesn't mean that it is impossible. That phrase really doesn't help except to make more people lazy.
2. "God has a better plan for you"
That's why my faith weakened & then my uber religious parents would wonder why, LMAO!!0 -
"I'll pray for you" "CPS should take away your children" or "You're going to hell"
those are expressions?
I consider "I'll pray for you" to be an expression. The others are just part of the explanation for why I hate it.0 -
I hate with all my heart "NEEDLESS TO SAY" stupid expression!!!!!0
-
If I hear "It is what it is" one more time I will burst...I was at the store today and someone next to me said it....I think I bit my knuckles!!! My apologies to frequent users of this expression...but...I - just - can't - stand it..
what do you got?
Yes! Yes!! Me too! I can't stand it.
What is worse is "it was what it was"..
Really!??!?!
Ugh.
Another pet peeve of mine is when people say "wah-lah" instead of "voila!" "Wah-lah" isn't a word. lol (I hear this ALL the time on the HGTV shows.. its like nails on a chalk board for me)0 -
"Everything happens for a reason"...bleh!0
-
I can't stand when people say, "For all intensive purposes!"
SERIOUSLY!!! WTF DOES THAT EVEN MEAN????
It's for all intents and purposes!0 -
"Time heals all wounds."
"Same difference."
"Everything happens for a reason."
"If God meant for it to happen, then it would have happen."
I kept hearing these after my dad passed away and after I didn't get into NYU. The two lowest points of my life. :mad:0 -
It's all good.
NOOOOOO, it's NOTTTTTTTTT!!!!
oh, but it is (if you want it to be) 0 -
Oh and the expression, "Bless your heart!"
All southern women know that means nothing more than "Go f**k yourself!"0 -
My ones are :
You have such potential. (which makes me feel what I have now is *kitten*!)
You have such a pretty face...( because everyone knows after that is the unheard rest of 'but the rest of you needs serious work")0 -
"it is what it is" hate it and the phrase "vajayay" it sounds so unpleasant and adolescent.0
-
I forgot to put that one... I hate that as well especially if coupled up with "God has a better plan for you" , BOOOOOOOOOO!"Everything happens for a reason"...bleh!0 -
While not an expression, hearing people say they want to 'aks' a question or say 'ek cetera'.
EXCETERA IS THE WORST.
The f---ing term is ET. The Latin word for "and". CETERA. The Latin word for OTHER THINGS.
It's also not ect. ...It's etc.
I think I love you. Or as the kids say, I heart you! As a former Latin student, this one grates on my nerves so badly. I want to smack someone when they use, spell or pronounce it incorrectly. Another one that slays me is the "c" in miscellaneous. It's silent; I wish everyone knew that. Oh, and the "ask" not "aks"...I can't even talk about that one.0 -
Oh snap0
-
Also...words shortened for the sake of trendiness...like "Oh she's just jelly" (as in jealous) and girls adding in the word "so" unnecessarily like "are you SOOOO excited?!"
OMG! I hate that too. I was watching last season of American idol, and every time, Jennifer Lopez said, "I got goosies..." I got irritated, It's goosebumps!!0 -
1) "guestimate"... it's "estimate"... thanks. "guestimate" is NOT a word.
2) "Irregardless"... it's "regardless". Believe me. If you don't, look it up.
3) "That's gay"... Do I even HAVE to explain this one? It's just rude, insensitive, & makes you sound homophobic... No, I'm not gay, but it still sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
4) "I was Jipped/Jewed"... racist comment against Gypsies/Jewish People used as nazi propaganda to make people think they were thieves, & that was why they needed to be (as a race!) killed... and YES... I *do* ask people if they know the origin of that phrase when they use it, and am not afraid to tell people the TRUE meaning of what they just said. Once again... I'm not a Gypsy, nor am I Jewish.0 -
I've always hated "Not for nothin' but..." You can rest assured whatever comes after this is stoooooopid0
