Using the word "ok" after every statement. It is like they are saying, "are you listening?"

Re: Over-Used Phrases That Make Me Scream!

When people can't string more than a few words together without inserting the word 'like' into a sentence.   The words, 'you know' also put me on edge and when someone continuously has to say 'umm' when speaking, I'm ready to stop listening.

Re: Over-Used Phrases That Make Me Scream!

I HATE when a loved one has passed and someone says" they're in a better place". I know they are saying it to be comforting, but when you are grieving, you don't want to think that way, you wish they were still with you.

Using "basically" every other word.......!!  Just say what you want to say.

 

Reach out.........You didn't reach out unless you were physically there....you contacted, called, texted, etc.

 

It's all good........

 

You got this.......

I can't stand furbaby.  

It makes me think of those furry little baby dolls with the porcelain faces.  Yikes!

I'm not much on baby talk in any form other than  when speaking to an actual human baby.

That's kind of like the one where something bad has happened and people tell you 'it's going to be ok'.   You don't know that!!     But I also get it that they are just trying to help.  Still - I don't really do bs or games, so I most appreciate just being honest.   Maybe you don't always have to say something, if there is nothing reality-based that you can say.

 

My husband does that.  I KNOW he's just being kind, in his mind, so I don't say anything but I find myself seething inside because you.do.not.know.that.it.will.be.ok.    so stop it.

Re: Over-Used Phrases That Make Me Scream!

My husband says "You Know" constantly.  Drives me nuts.

 

The other phrase I hate is "Long Story Short"  only to be followed by a really long story.
