People Shared 15+ Phrases They Find the Most Annoying
As people tend to prefer one color to another and one dish to another, they also have their preferences for words and phrases they like to hear as well. While there are phrases that please our ears and give us pleasant goosebumps when we hear them, there are also those that make us cringe and feel as if we are going to burst with annoyance when we hear them. These phrases are individual for every person — they can annoy one person, while the other one might find them absolutely normal.
We at Bright Side found a Reddit thread where people shared the phrases they don’t like hearing from others and now we are rushing to share them with you.
- When people use this to cheer you up but you get even more depressed by it. © ares395 / reddit
- “Lightning never strikes the same place twice.”
Yes, it does....that’s why tall buildings have lightning rods. © rorrim_narret / reddit - Not a phrase but I hate when people say, “irregardless.” © November_15th / reddit
- With its older sister-phrase, “Come see me in my office.” © MerylSquirrel / reddit
- My ex was (and still is) like this. She’ll say stuff like “I need to talk to you about something. I’ll call you after work.” Like 8 hours before she finishes. So what, I’m supposed to just stress all day, only for you to call me after work about something completely benign? Why not just call me after work without the foreboding message? Now if she does this, I just call her straight away and ask her what’s up. © djAMPnz / reddit

It’s not a phrase, but the word “hubby” makes me cringe every single time I see or hear it. © MattyScrant / reddit
-
“With all due respect” is almost always coupled with an insult or unsolicited advice. You might as well say, “Prepare to be disrespected.” © dusty-kat / reddit
- “This one” makes me irrationally angry. “Happy birthday to this one,” “date night with this one,” “so thankful for this one.” © LuciferVD / reddit
- “30 [things] that shocked the world. You won’t believe number 6!” © Banania78 / reddit
- No, I don’t. You can voice your opinion, and I’m allowed to ignore it, criticize it, debunk it, or ridicule it. © Dahhhkness / reddit
- “You’re gonna have to figure something out.”
Usually said in an impossible situation that someone else has caused, but expects me to fix. © Washjockey / reddit

My favorite too - also 'what is, is' - fortunately, I retired before I murdered the supervisor whose favorite saying this was.
I know right I HATE it
Mine:
"TWILIGHT SUCKS"
"I RESPECT YOUR OPINION BUT..."
"FRIENDLY REMINDER..."
"*insert hypocritic*"
etc...
I don't want to offend you but not every people like Twilight. If they don't like it then ignore it..... I guess then you have friends who share same interest as you.
Everything happens for a reason. No it doesn't, sometimes life just sucks and there's no explanation, this phrase is not comforting in the least.
Okay so if any one of you tries to come and be back I won't respond because I don't like this article I like the others but I don't like it sorry
So why not just scroll on by?
My top five are:
1.) "Relax"
2.)"Oh you think you're funny??"
3.)"You're friends don't..."
4.)"Nothing's wrong!"
*five seconds later*
"So you really don't care...?"
5.)*this spot is reserved for anything or anyone one that sounds or says anything like the comment above this one*
Oh I forgot
Friend: "how are you feeling?"
Me: "Depressed"
Friend:"don't be depressed!"
Me:*visible rage* "why thank you, I am feeling much better now"
Friend" *completely missing it* "good"
"Like damn, why didn't I think of that :0?"
" You get what you pay for " to me this is the dumbest statement ever it's not like you're going to walk into a car dealership pay for a Ford focus and then drive off in a Bentley.
Mine is "You're ok". They might as well say "I don't give a damn about your problems"
mine is being told to do something "because thats the way we've always done it", Basically, screw orginality, creativity or any improved methods...
The one I hate is "but everyone else.....". Do I look like everyone else?
So true!!!
Haha
my least favorite is do it now or never, because i want to do something but
not then
I just don’t want to see that "if I can do it"-girl on the top of brightside anymore. 😝
"Calm down"
"That being said.."
"Ya know what I mean?" said after every sentence.
"Hunker down" *cringe*
Oh, I forgot one of my favorites.
"He was at the wrong place at the wrong time" 😕
If you're at a grocery store and someone comes in with a gun, HE'S at the wrong place at the wrong time.
:I was only trying to help"
My least favorite phrase is: Fashion First. I would prefer a phrase like Function Over Fashion. Now, I don't hate fashion, its just we need function way more
Someone I know always says "toss my cookies or lose my cookies" when they mean losing their mind or going crazy! Guess they don't know that it means to get sick. Not sure how to tell them.
I hate when people get offended about certain things that they can choose not to look at.
