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. 😁

If its meant to be it will be

Everything happens for a reason

God doesn't give you anything that you can't cope with

SomeoneTellBorisHeHasDandruff · 19/10/2020 01:48

He/she is ‘mugging me off’, just hate it 🤮

Also these old bastard ones:

I speak as I find

I tell it like it is

I have no filter

All 3 said by the most irritating and obnoxious woman I have had the misfortune to meet and work with. No concern for anyone else’s feelings because she thinks she’s queen bee and management do nothing to keep her in line. Now breathe 😤

When One Door Closes Another One Opens. No it doesn't, that's shite and trite and makes no sense. It's very similar to Everything Happens For A Reason and It Wasn't Meant To Be.

Shit happens, often to good people, and there is no rhyme or reason to it, not matter how much you want there to be.

And it's not a saying, but I want to stab anyone who confuses "of" with "have". "Could of" makes no sense! At all. "Could have" makes sense. Please please please make it stop!!!

It is what it is.

People who say this just sound banal and thick by stating the utter obvious. Of course it is what it is, what the flip else could it be?

And don't even get me started on people who start sentences with "So...." oh and people whose tone rises at the end of a sentence so they sound as if they're asking a question...Confused

Someone at work today told me it was their 'hubster's burpday'. I immediately thought of this thread and had to resist the urge to shove her down the stairs.

Moist,it makes feel ill,just writing it.

On FB,Fulltime Mad Bastard.No you're a wannabe hardman.

Buddy,alright Buddy.Its sounds so fake.

And usually all I call a spade a spade people are the ones that can't take it when it's given back to them.

WeWantTheFinestWines · 20/10/2020 09:03

whether it be.... As in, I like doing stuff, whether it be inside or out.

Nobody talks like that, but it's so often in dating profiles. Instant dismissal.

WomenAndVulvas · 20/10/2020 10:15

You do you

It sounds aggressive and stupid.

"What goes around, comes around" it doesn't.

"Hi guys!" I'm not a "guy" and never have been.

"A stitch in time saves nine." Too precise. Why not eight? or ten?

"Nothing to see here!" I'll be the judge of that, once I've had a nose at the relevant scene, thanks.

"Wine o'clock". Unfair on other drinks. There should be, e.g., an elderflower cordial o'clock, dandelion and burdock o'clock, etc., if you're going to get specific.

"How about a nice cup of tea?" Nah, I'll have a scummy one that tastes of old socks and has a few unidentifiable floaters, thanks!
