-Wow. You've got too much time on your hands if that's all you've got to worry about.

-LTB

  • You sound like hard work


  • You're over reacting [about absolutely anything].


  • wow. Just wow.


-this has been done before (as will this thread have been).

Anymore standard replies?
I see at least one on every single thread.
It's as though there has to be a Standard Arsehold reply.

Any others?

No is a complete sentence

It's an invitation not a summons.

Call 111. Doesn’t matter if it’s a paper cut or you’ve actually cut your finger off, call 111.

Oh yeah, the "no is a complete sentence" malarkey Hmm

It is easy to say that on an online forum, but if you're face to face with someone, they often require further reply than one curt word.

"Can you pick Jamelia up from school for me please, because I'm running late?"

"No."

"No? Why not, aren't you collecting Jeffrey and Billy-Bob anyway?"

"No."

"You're not? Why not?"

"No."

"...Are you broken?"

It's presented as the perfect one size fits all assertive response, but it's actually far less effective than talking like a normal person with a wide vocabulary and some manners.

On money worries or begging threads:

Could you do ironing/babysitting for people?

Just cancel your mobile/tv contracts (yes like they will be ok with you not seeing out your contract because you’re suddenly skint).

Nip it in the bud

if it's been going on for months/years on end, it's no longer a fucking bud to be nipped. It's bloomed and died by now
