...Smile  This really gets my goat, why do people feel the need to tell someone else to smile? If I'm grumpy, I'm grumpy. Telling me to smile will only wind me up more.
What things that people say wind you up?
*Disclaimer, I'm not grumpy at the moment but I maybe if anyone tells me to smile  |

Yeah, got to respect the frown.
I used to work with a guy who walked around smiling all the time for no reason. Really used to fuck me off - there was nothing to smile about. It was a shite job. I never told him to frown though. I respected his right to be a smug prick. Guy used to sit in the work tearoom and eat a whole tomato for his lunch. Bastard. |

Don’t ...
- call me boss or buddy/mate unless I am yours.
- use the C bomb out loud.
- say you’ll do it straightaway if you’re not going to do it straightaway.
- say you’ll turn up and then don’t.
And no, you don’t know what I am thinking!
No, I haven’t recently been involved in a car accident that wasn’t my fault, nor any other kind of accident.
Oh God, the list is endless ... |

So how should we address those that we need to speak to? Sir and Ma'am is just too formal and calling folks cunts may not go down well with everyone. |

All the bloody time at work. I have a resting bitch face anyway but the likelihood is that you are being such a moron making me waste my valuable time, I’m not about to start smiling about it |

Lol. It was the samean who told me all proudly that he "let" his wife play badminton once a week . He did have the good grace to look embarrassed when I questioned his use of the word let lol¡
I think it was the assumption that I should be concerned with men finding me attractive while on a very serious course that annoyed me along with him imagining that I should look how he wanted me to. |

There and to the left a bit |
Being told things like "smile it may never happen" is on a par with being told to "be nice" or "be kind" and other worthless hollow sentiments (in my opinion) for me personally - I'll smile naturally when I have reason to smile, likewise I won't *be* nice or kind because I am told to, I'll do so because I am being naturally so when I am doing those things. |

With a mask on you can secretly mouth swear words while crinkling your eyes to look like you're smiling. |

To feel any other way than the way I feel. That said I have found the ‘Be Kind’ mantra really useful for me to reduce the frequency that I might take out my shit on others. |

Outside of work there isn't a lot that people say that would wind me up as usually there intentions are to try to cheer you up or if they call me love, or hun or duck or whatever else there just using it as a term of endearment so would never get offended unless I knew they were using it to be condescending. But if we were talking about in work things people say I could literally fill an entire forum of things that wind me up haha |

"Don't like being told what to do full stop x"

Life's way to short to get ranty about the words other people use. The fact that some words wind us up is our problem. It never bothers those who make the comment to start off the angry cycle....my washing machine has an angry cycle...
