Inconsequential things people say that ^really^ disproportionately and irrationally piss you off.

[JanetSaysYouGotTidyHair]

My mum jokingly calls me a "tight arse" and it really, really makes me want to throw things. I'm not a tight arse. I love Iceland Food Warehouse. I love charity shops. I love Savers. I love vinted. I love a bargain. None of this makes me a tight arse.

Another one is concerning my home office which is in a converted outhouse in my garden. It make me absolutely murderous when people ask "Isn't it cold?" like I didn't employ a professional builder, didn't get it fully insulated, didn't get good heating installed.

Both of these things happened today. And my period unexpectedly arrived. I want to throw things and hurt people.

Tell me what other completely inane, inconsequential things people say that make you want to throw things and hurt people.

“I’m not gonna lie” - pointless! Also, “ to be fair” which has to be one of the most overused phrases EVER!

Yeah that would have me dredging up the worst TripAdvisor reviewed one star hotels in Venice. Undoubtedly petty but manners cost nothing.

"I don't know how you do it honestly "

Because nobody else will. SEND parenting-lonliest place to be in the world, honestly!!!

'Adopt, don't shop.'

Piss off. Adopting a dog (or any pet) is not the right decision for a lot of people, for a variety of reasons. Stop shoving your sanctimonious twaddle down people's throats when they have made it clear they do not care about adopting a pet.

'You sound Scottish'

I'm from Lancashire

Oh God, 'careful!' drives me insane as well. Fuck off being so patronising 😡

'It is what it is.'

Pointless statement. 😁

I'm no longer working, thank god, but this one used to make me want to scream!

What's wrong with "just a reminder everyone"? We're not going to burst into tears if it doesn't have the word gentle in front of it.

Dimwits. 😡

I was just going to write this!
I have OCD (officially diagnosed) and it is debilitating! I've tried medication, counselling, CBT, DBT.. but nothing has cured it. Now I just live with it.
It really pisses me off when people minimise it or joke that they are "a bit OCD".

I’m glad it’s not just me….. “gentle reminder” if you use that phrase to me I’m likely to kick you in the face!

'Stay safe' Oh ok then, I wasn't going to but totally will now 🙄

Nice. I see it on here all the time "Treat yourself to a nice meal"
What instead of the awful meal I was planning on having?

totally agree! I hate it

People who say ‘I dont mind” when you are trying to plan something.
“Do you fancy a curry or shall we try the new pub?”
”I dont mind”

Retail staff/witing staff who say “ That’s fine” when you have told them you dont want something (typically a bag ) as if they are giving you their permission not to have it

….and my absolute pet hate “ 100%” instead of “yes”. Watching The Traitors almost killed me.

No! Really? I just take it at face value....

Things being described as 'buttery soft' my view of butter is it's rock hard or greasy or both.

Buttery soft leggings is particularly baffling to me. Greasy legs, nice.

"I know you won't like this, but...." causes me to tell my husband to fuck off. Then he feels validated that I did indeed not like it, no I didn't like when you tell me what I won't like. Stupid man.

Maybe we can get the Yeah? Okay? Right? men together for some sort of symposium, capisce?

This was specific to my mum. I tried never to be a moaner, but if I ever told her of any problem whatsoever, no matter how serious, it would be dismissed with a breezy “Never mind!” A listening ear would have been nice occasionally!

'I'm not criticising but.....'

'I'm not blaming anyone but....'

Errrr - yes you are!

'Just a thought...' - grrrrr

In-Laws do this. 'Oh, we only manage nibbles these days, we eat like birds...'
Yes - gannets!

They all manage to devour plates loaded with food (plus seconds) when they come to us! And it's not because they're skint, before anyone asks.

@Sidebeforeself I don't mind 100% but people who say stuff like "I'll give it 110%" make me want to wallop them!

”I am a really good listener”. Anyone who has ever said, is usually the very opposite of that. It makes me cringe completely. A person can’t say that about themselves, it’s for other people, who interact with you, to say that about you.

"Don't take this the wrong way, but . . ." I had a manager who used to come out with this gem every time she was going to make a particularly poisonous personal comment.
