I was today years old when I found out blah blah blah

You go girl!

Out for a cheeky

Wow. Just wow.

That would look great with a bold red lip and a grey trouser.

There are loads of these ridiculous statements that piss me off. No it doesn't matter and yes I have bigger things to worry about, yes it's been done before but let's have a moan anyway. 😁

Anything food or drink related prefixes by 'dirty' or 'cheeky'.

Mrsjayy · 18/10/2020 14:30

New Normal, that can piss right off

Oh and "I feel like.." when your feelings are completely irrelevant.

For example " I feel like the shop should be open later " No , no you don't, you think the shop should be open later . You are not bloody american. (I sodding grew up in America and I still don't say this)

I'm paying the price though for being irrationally annoyed at this , ds1 has picked this phrase up from someone at school. Its constant and I'm becoming the screechy irritable mother by snapping " you don't feel like ...you think " constantly.

Which makes him do it more ....ergh.

What goes round, comes round.
No, it really doesn't.

@coffeewithmilk at least it happened early and you didn't get too attached to it, it probably had something wrong with it so be thankful you don't have to raise a disabled child, you're only young you can try again oh and the most irritating one of just relax it'll happen when it happens were mine. Yes mine happened early but I still felt every bit of pain and grief, I wouldn't have cared one iota had any of my Babies being disabled we would have loved them and I'm 35 so not exactly young. My DP is 53 so that definitely lessens our chances even more and relaxing quite possibly won't help

'Does that make sense?' Usually said by management after delivering their latest directive. I'd love to say 'No, no sense what so ever'.

BikeRunSki · 18/10/2020 14:53

I hate any euphemism for dying. I have made DH promised that if I due before him, then he will tell people that I have died. Not passed on, gone home, met my maker etc

Also "Hun". I'm OK with Love, Pet, Flower.

Infantalisiation of ordinary words - holibobs, famalam , drinkies, din dins, choo choo train

WonderMoon · 18/10/2020 14:54

Something about your 'ducks being in a row'
Never heard that expression till I came on MN. More weird then annoying.

When someone just writes 'This' in reply to a post they agree with. I don't know why, it just gets on my nerves.

BikeRunSki · 18/10/2020 14:55

Box Set - it's a Boxed Set if it is a collection of DVDs (or videos) in a box. Otherwise , all the episodes in a TV series are just a TV series.

FrameyMcFrame · 18/10/2020 14:56

I'm not 'showing up for' this or that person

Stop 'showing up for' negativity etc

Fuck off, you're not American....

emilybrontescorsett · 18/10/2020 14:56

We are you pregnant.

No you fucking aren't, how can a man be pregnant?

emilybrontescorsett · 18/10/2020 14:57

We are pregnant.

Lulu1919 · 18/10/2020 14:57

Cheer up it might never happen

There are people far worse off than you

I suffer with depression
These sayings don't help !!

Pieceofpurplesky · 18/10/2020 14:57

Any of the daily affirmations a colleague posts on the work WhatsApp group (which I can't leave).
I want to say look Ethel I don't give a shit if sunbeams shine out of your fucking arse on a daily basis

LST · 18/10/2020 14:58

AWiseWomanOnceSaidFuckThisShit · 18/10/2020 15:18

Saying "you'll find someone" to a single person.

Fuck off you patronising cunt.
