Don't particularly hate it but had it used in a message recently when a couple started a drug related thread.
I knew what they were getting at but asked on the thread for them to explain further. They responded privately instead using this phrase. |

I hate being told to “do my own research” when someone makes a statement and doesn’t want to back it up with credible evidence/explanations. Usually conspiracy related. |

"Google is your friend.
No it isn't, it's an internet search engine. If you can't be bothered explaining something to me you're not my friend either."
Thing is internet search engines *can* be very useful. And some people are incredibly lazy.
My other half is on a local Fakebook group. You’ll get people saying “Does anyone know when the local schools inset days are?”.. and if not answered in 30 mins “well does anyone?”.
If you look at the school website it tells you.
Honestly some people just seem incapable of self serving at times. Yes. I’ve woken up grumpy! |

 I understand what you're saying but Google still isn't my friend. Telling me it is is patronising. The phrase is often used by people who in the next breath complain that people never talk to each other because they're too busy looking at a computer screen.  .
I haven't woken up grumpy, I'm like it all the time  |

It annoys me when TV chefs instruct you to add something and say "not too much".
Obviously you don't want to add too much. "Too much" is by definition not the right amount. Nobody thinks "How much of this shall I add? I'm not sure. I'll go for too much. Yes, that seems right. I'll add too much."
"Not too much" tells us absolutely nothing. They should tell us how much to add and be done with it.
I'm now off to see my therapist. |

You should do a "Let me Google that for you" link. I do it all the time. It's so passive aggressive, I love it |

I prefer the Let me Google that for you website. Gives them their answer, and tells them to stop being lazy, all in a beautifully packaged passive aggressive way

"Everything happens for a reason"
It may well do, that's something we may never learn til the time we pass on, but telling someone who's grieving or in the depth of trauma or depression that's the case is pretty fucking insidious and likely to instill hopelessness instead of the desired response.
Imagine, oh yeah, your son was hit and killed by a stolen car, you heard it from your sofa but it doesn't matter does it, it was destiny. No. Just stop. |

I will add
'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'
telling newly diagnosed cancer patients
"You must fight it"
telling newly bereaved people they are 'lucky' to have had the dead person in their life for so long. |

I hate this myself. Especially when it is established that Google has a bias and hides information that goes against that bias. It also works with Governments to censor information that they dislike.
Yet people still use it.

People saying "Bless you" when somebody sneezes.
There is no more pointless expression in common use in the known universe. It does nothing. It has its origins in religion, but even religious people don't think somebody needs blessing just because they sneeze. It's a ridiculous and unnecessary thing to say and I'm campaigning for it to stop.
I once got told off for not saying thank you to somebody who said it to me. I wanted her to ignore the sneeze. Why does she need to say anything? I didn't want her to say it. Nobody gained anything from her saying it. And yet I'm the bad one for not thanking her for saying it.
Let me know if you want to join my campaign to abandon saying "Bless you" when somebody sneezes. The campaign slogan is:
People sneeze. GET OVER IT. |

Oh nooo....I'm in the saying 'bless you' camp.
I have no problem if someone wants to acknowledge that I've sneezed or that I even exist!

An ex boss called the phone a "squawk box", indeed he would manufacture more and more ways to get the phrase into every discussion you had with him. Never "Ask Steve to ..." always "Get on the squawk box to Steve and ...". The guy was an effete moron. |

"team work makes the dream work
That one makes me want to vomit.
Generally spouted by those who aren't team players yet expect everyone else to go above and beyond their role."

When someone refers to you as babe constantly like they can't be bothered to use your name and when they make a statement and when ask to explain they can't or refer to googling it...rather than taking the time to explain xT |

Some cliched lines being used relentlessly on dating apps
"Someone who can make me laugh"
"A man who knows what he wants"
"Here for a good time not a long time"
I understand what they are trying to say. But I have seen too much of these that I started hating them.

Here's another one that gets me. I've heard a number of people say this nonsense:
"The proof is in the pudding."
NO!
The proof OF the pudding is in the EATING.
THAT is the expression. There is no proof IN the pudding.

"Everything happens for a reason annoys me. Yes, sometimes the reason is that I'm an idiot. "
This one is so much bullshit.
Some people argue the cause/effect point. Which is rubbish.
There's a difference between 'for a reason' and 'because of a reason'.
The word I take issue with is 'everything'. Not everything that happens is significant. |
