Phrases I hate

[NeoPhile]

In this thread, we talk about different phrases that people use that we hate. There are always things that people say that get our goat, and this is the place to talk about them!

I'll go first:
"My son/daughter/nephew/cousin/dog's hairdresser's son's best friend is on the spectrum; so I know what you guys go through, and I'm necessarily for you." and all its variants.
First of all, you don't know what we go through, and just because someone in your family is autistic spectrum doesn't mean you're necessarily for us. Sometimes, parents of autistic children kill or abuse their kids. Just because someone in your family is on the spectrum doesn't mean you get to speak for us.

I hate when couples speak about themselves in plural only. The worst one IMHO:
"We're pregnant!" Oh great, but unless you both have a baby growing inside of you, that's technically not true.

At work: Being asked by the public "You been busy?"

 

[Meg12]

The expression "no brainer" because it's usually used as a form of manipulation so the person can get their way.

The worst.

In my experience, this only happen when one has either cheated before, or cannot be trusted (or one has trust issues).

Not really a saying, but I hate it when people hashtag too much. #toomanyhashtags.

 

[ZebraAutismo]

"You'll get use to it'' tell my autism that.

 

[Tyrantus1212]

"I don't want to talk about it". Pushes my buttons every time because I DO want to talk about it, OK?? I want to make the problem better, not run away from it! I want to talk things over and work on whatever is causing the disagreement! Not leave the topic alone and stay angry, OK?? The people who say this phrase always remain angry. My doc told me to listen to that phrase and the only reason I'll work on that is to prevent the fight from escalating. Otherwise I still detest that phrase and I still detest the way people react to me in general.

 

[Cinnamon115]

"I don't mind" and "I mind". I never really know what a person means by this.

 

[Jorg]

In my country there's this one I really hate "El que nació para maceta del corredor no pasa" translated is like "Whom was born a flowerpot never goes far from the house entrance" Which is like a mediocre or something you put limits on yourself, like if you born someway you only can reach little. I really hate it and try not to follow it.

I hate it when weather presenters say "Temperatures will struggle to get up to x degrees". Temperatures don't struggle - they just are!
