S/O sayings that help, which drive you nuts?!

I cringe myself inside out every time my friend says 'I'm the heroine in my own story'.

“That’s just the way it is” or “it’s always been like that.” Oh okay I guess we should just give up because it’s not like anything has ever changed throughout human history.

Nope. I have said it. A lot actually. My kids lives and the hectic insurance issues and medical issues and medical debt really are "it is what it is" and "that's just the way it is."

And you are all fully aware of the fights I have had with insurance and medical personnel and how much I have had to pay off and there isn't a damn thing that will change that.

I mean this crap has gone on for 18 years.

Even with a nurse case advocate and state DMHS ruling, medical group still tries to play games and recently did when they denied formula authorization. It's what they do so yeah "that's just the way it is" is extremely fitting

It was God's plan/will.

Nope. "God" did not make the dude drink 5 beers, get in his car, and nearly kill me. Then cause me to suffer and have multiple long surgeries.

🙄

Usually I hear it on reality shows...anything about their "journey"!

I hate it is what it is!!!

My worst is my mother.... after everything she says anyway anyhow.... then starts speaking again anyway anyhow...

I counted and she said it 15 times in a 30 min conversation!!!!!

Nails on chalkboard

Live, love, laugh on signs. so 1990s

You ask your server if you can have a straw for your drink, they reply - no problem.

YES! That one drives me nuts.

I also hate how everything is in “pieces”: the medical piece, the education piece, the financial piece, blah, blah, blah. I hear that one a lot in educational settings like PTA meetings, school board, even seminars for parents. 

Just go to Chick-fil-a, if you ask for a straw (or anything) they’ll say, “My pleasure!” I don’t know which one’s worse.

Now I want that! I have a magnet that says

Dream Big
Work Hard
Be Brave
Shine Bright
Fuck Off

Corporate speak gets on my nerves: wheelhouse, skill set, circle back...

Sure, I’ll be right back.  

Oh my word.

TL;DR

I have a neighbor that says this.

Long version, the setup.

I live in a housing addition. The way our houses are situated, my neighbor’s, garage and driveway face my backyard. Since the pandemic, he has worked from home. He is the regional manager for a large company.

He wears earbuds when using his phone and paces around the driveway, yelling at his employees. I kid you not, in a 5 minute timeframe, he can say“You know what I mean?” at the minimum, 20 or more times! Clearly, no. If you have to keep repeating yourself, then they, in fact, DO NOT “know what you mean”!

ETA -  He also uses “You know what I’m saying?” Frequently. Very frequently. In the same conversations.  Gah. 

One of my current least favorite phases - (I have many) - “boys wil be boys!” Frequently said in a sing songy voice by a mother who can’t control her child. Control your son people..
