To be annoyed when people say … but.. you do you

[Absentmindedsmile]

‘You do you’ 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Fck off. I keep seeing this on MN comments. Don’t hear it in real life.

Similar to ‘give your head wobble’ but worse.

there are many annoying expressions on here

i think i have heard it in real life

You forgot - Live your best life and Making memories.

I have too. Mainly, in a "yeah you are wrong but get on with it" type of way.

I personally don't mind it but go ahead you do you

Oh yes..

How could I forget. Actually this one might be more annoying… ‘Naice’ 🤢🤢🤢🤢

This has all no doubt been discussed before. But still.

I think it’s really passive aggressive. It like Your wrong but whatever

💯

It’s a passive aggressive comment, for sure.

I see it a lot on MN, but I’ve never heard it in real life - thankfully.

What people Do say irl “I’m not being funny but..’ 🙄

It’s not. It’s more ’I think you’re completely wrong, but as I’m clearly never going to change your mind and it has no impact on my life, I’m not going bother to argue’.

It’s more like.. I’m right. You’re wrong. But I don’t want look ridiculous by going on about how right I am and how wrong you are, so I’ll say ‘you do you’ because I think it makes me look a little bit magnanimous.
Actually it makes anyone who says it look like an annoying twat.

I’ve used “you do you” when someone says that they would not do whatever I’ve done. Mostly judgemental comments usually.

I think that their opinion doesn’t matter at all, I’m more than capable of deducing my correct plan of action.

@FightingTemeraireyou do you Queen

This. And I think it’s fine, tbh. You see it a lot in AIBU where an OP clearly doesn’t believe they’re unreasonable or doing the wrong thing and just argues back at anyone who suggests otherwise. “Well, you do you” puts it to bed, since no minds are going to be changed and the person saying it doesn’t care enough to be invested.

"You do you" is handy in RL for unwanted unsolicited advice.

I agree 100%. I think it's a very passive aggressive phrase usually tacked onto the end of a previous sentence that insults someone but then they put in "but you do you!" as if this negates the fact they've just insulted you. People do it to make themselves appear less of an arsehole.

It doesnt work btw- you still look like a twat. Why not just give your own opinion without having to drag down someone else who dares to do something differently- lots of us manage to do it!

I really hate… Kindly, OP (insert forceful opinion)

Its just a polite or not so polite way of saying no i wouldn't do that but couldn't give a flying f what you do tbh

I haven’t got a problem with you do you.

I think I’d use it, or have used it when someone is trying to manipulate me into thinking a certain way or do something I don’t want to do.

For me it’s more “you do you, and I’ll do me”. More of a “I don’t really care what you think, or do, but don’t tell me how to live my life”.

Or gently- it’s the new, no offence but….

I tend to say “well - we’ll have to agree to differ” - is that better, @Absentmindedsmile, or am I offending people too? <<worries>>

Yes especially when it's 'you do you HUN'. I mean isn't hun an abbreviation of honey - so it should be hon? I mean pedants assemble and all that!

Mu current bug bear is (and I have my sick bucket ready) The Insta posts from people on holidays and on beaches etc with the headline - Summer Lovin' 🙄

I put this saying in the same bracket as "it is what it is". Grrrr...
