| Stupid Annoying Phrases!! |
There is this lady at work who annoys the shit out of me. She is always using phrases in her conversation, as a way of sounding more ‘sophisticated’ I guess. However, all the phrases don’t always fit the topic we’re discussing. And even if they did, why can’t you use simple sentences instead of using all these phrases someone else came up with. I think is this misconception people have to which they think they sound deep; however, they don’t come to realize that when they over-use things, they stop sounding deep, they begin sounding annoying!
It doesn’t matter what she’s talking about; out of 5 sentences used in her conversation, 4 will be those stupid sayings. Today for example, I was in meetings half of the day. After coming out of the last meeting of the day, I made a comment out loud…I said, Thank God It’s finally Friday!! What a day!!…Now mind you, I was releasing stress, talking to myself, walking to my office. Out of the blue, she answers back with a ‘Tomorrow is another day’…I felt like saying NO SHIT? And all along I thought tomorrow was also Friday!
No, no, I didn’t say it, I just smiled, walked into the office and closed my door! Am I the only annoyed by these sayings and phrases? Some of the expressions used, are even used incorrectly; yet people continue to use them. Have we lost the sense of having a normal, self-thought use of words and conversation? Or have we gotten so lazy we don’t think, therefore we just say whatever comes to mind first?
These are some of the most annoying or incorrectly used phrases/sayings I continue to hear:
1. We can agree to disagree - What??? Thank God you’re not a lawyer!
2. Everything happens for a reason - Aren’t you the same one crying at funerals "why God, why did you take him away?!"
3. Better late than never - I wonder how you’d feel about this if you were to call 911 and the paramedics showed up 2 hours later. Would you really say this? LOL
4. When God closes a door, he opens a window - I bet you God is laughing at this one, seeing you climb up a window. Thieves should try using this one to their defense at court!
5. If at first you don’t succeed, try again - Hmm, let me ask, WHEN ELSE WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO TRY AGAIN? I assure you I’m not trying again if I did succeed. And if I fail, how bout if I don’t want to try again? Is this a rule?
6. Good things come to those who wait - I’ve waited and waited but I haven’t won the lottery yet…maybe I just need to start buying the ticket. But, it just said to wait, not to buy!!
7. If you want something done right, do it yourself - I don’t see you building your house or your car. Would you really go on a plane you built yourself? HMM I sure as heck wouldn’t.
8. Its sink or swim - I’ll float…thanks.
9. Rules are meant to be broken - Ok, lets stop to think this one for a minute. If rules are meant to be broken, why the hell are we wasting time making rules, to begin with?
10. Two heads are better than one - How bout if one of them is a moron? How about if the 2nd head is a bimbo? Hmm go figure!
11. Two wrongs don’t make a right - Thank you Einstein! And I thought…
12. What’s done is done - Really? What have I been thinking!
13. It’s always in the last place you look - I like this one. Do any of you continue looking after you found what you wanted? Or is it really always in the last place you looked? LOL
Ok, to be fair, I’ve used these things at some point in my life, however I don’t over use them. There is no need to; try to use some of your own sentences for a change.
Enjoy!
