Comments that stupidly annoy you

People saying....

"he turned round and said.... so I turned round and said...... and he turned round and said....."

Errrrrrmmmm, so if I hear you correctly, you were both pirouetting in the street durning your conversation.....?

I get totally irrational hearing these and quite often have to stop myself doing a ballerina-esque pirouette through the middle of them

There are two at the moment. Both of which are used a lot on here so sorry if this offends anyone (I know you better than that now).

Starting a sentence with "So..." annoys the hell out of me.

Ending a sentence with "...right?".

I think it's just the Americanness of the two phrases. I'm not sure if Americanness is a word.

"Cheer up". I always want to respond with "f ck off"

I could probably come up with tons of things that customers say, but I'd be here all day!

On a lot of photography groups i'm part of people seem to have a habit of asking for recommendations or advice as if it's a race.

"Right, best company for outsourcing edits....GO!" I've since noticed the "GO" thing creeping in elsewhere too.

I'm sure it's not the case, but to me, it comes off as bossy. I don't like bossy.

I get really annoyed by my claimants who start their telephone calls with:

'What it is, right'.

Also: "I wonder if/I don't know if you can help me" and even better "I'm sorry to bother you." That's literally why I'm sat here! But I guess it's quite cute that they think they're bothering us.

Also, when people answer questions with "yeah, no, that's right". Not sure that is the best example sentence.

Cheer up it might never happen.

Do you think I would look this fucking miserable if it hadn't already happened you stupid ***??!

I could happily tw@t people for saying this. I have a naturally miserable looking face, I can't help it, it's just how my face is. Have you heard that woman on "Rage Against the Answer Machine" on Radio 1? "I've got the 'ump, I've always got the 'ump"

Also known as 'resting b*tch face'

I need this as my avatar!

"You're quiet, aren't you."

1. Yes I am, it's my personality. I am happy with my personality. I'm not sure why you find it necessary to comment on it.

2. I actually don't think I'm even that quiet. But it seems being a gobshite is the only acceptable way to exist.

3. I'm concentrating on getting on with my work, rather than chatting about crap constantly. Sorry that's not acceptable to you.

I totally have b!tchy resting face too!

'Calm down' is one that annoys me! Just because I am voicing an opinion doesn't mean I'm not calm you kn0bber.

Not so much a comment but I also get annoyed by getting asked for ID on my lunch break. I'm usually in smart office wear and buying lunch and maybe a few other items and they peer at you while clearly thinking 'of course 17 year olds buy razors, a pasty, can of coke, and hairspray whilst dressed in a suit.' I know everyone always says it's a compliment or they're just doing their job but actually it really annoys me that there is no common sense applied!

I know what you're thinking.....calm down ?

Oh, Peanut you've just reminded me of one:

'You're tall aren't you' I'm 5 ft 9 so hardly a giant but on the odd occasion I wear heels (which then make me nearer 6ft) someone always has to comment.

I'm obviously not easily irritated because I couldnt think of anything! But then peanut reminded me that I hate it when people tell me I don't look old enough to have four children.

Do they mean I haven't gone grey? Or have I not got enough wrinkles? Perhaps I should start getting a blue rinse and wearing an apron and curlers.

I know they mean it as a compliment, but it annoys me anyway lol

Bekkijane, I get that. I take it as a compliment, apart from when C's teacher assumed I was his sister, and asked if our Mum was going to come to the meeting.

It annoys me when people say "cheer up goth."

Ha ha love this!

Its not a stupid comment other people make but an annoying thing I do... I struggle to start a sentence with the the word 'obviously' & half the time it isn't fracking obvious!

Also I manage a woman,who clearly hates me as she likes to send me snidey emails rather than talk to me, anyway these emails nearly always start with Hi in the subject line, which gets my goat almost immediately and then her opening lines usually consist of saying, ' I mean this in a friendly not angry way BUT. ...........

As a call centre employee I feel your pain here. Normally when they say that they know their in wrong department bit they proceed to tell me something I don't know anything about then make it my fault they've dialed wrong number. Or won't accept they are in wrong department!

So? Every child is an individual and you were highlighting a condition he has that she needs to be aware of.

I do HATE cheer up it might never happen. Mainly said by men, l have never heard a woman say it?

"It's like..." Is Vicky Pollard like.

I love this thread!! :] it's made me chuckle!

I get the opposite :/ 'You're small aren't you?' I never know how to answer that. Im not small - there's people smaller than me, dwarfs infact!!

I think amongst some older people this is secret code for "Are you pregnant?"

Or maybe you do just look fab!

I get this all the time when I meet new people. I'm just under 6ft in flats. Why people feel the need to inform me that I'm tall I'll never know! I'm perfectly aware, people!!

I also think that 'looking well' or 'glowing' mean pregnant! Once many years ago they had a lengthy discussion about this on the Moyles show after someone said it to producer Rachel. The men on the show had no idea that a woman might take it that way.

My mum always used to say 'get it down your neck' to me when I was complaining about eating something as a child. And for some reason I have just always really, really hated that expression. It annoys the hell out of me and I can't quite put my finger on why.

People who say "I'm a full time mum" when asked what they do. It annoyed me even before I was a mother, now it annoys me even more.

The common one round here currently seems to be 'and I was like that' usually accompanied by either some sort of facial expression they claim to have pulled, or occasionally a sentence they claim to have said! Why not just say 'I was really annoyed/disgusted/upset/insert suitable word here, why mime the expression you were feeling with a face/phrase you probably never used!! ?

I also hate "I'm a full-time Mum" - brilliant, so those of us who work aren't full-time Mums! It really does wind me up.

Stating a sentence with "Well, actually" also drives me mad - unless you are in a crappy American teen movie, don't say it!

And the last one (for now!) - "Oh, you must be really tired, I don't know how you do it" said to me after a night shift - Yep, I am really tired, I do it because I have to work shifts and the patients won't care for themselves all night and now I would like to sleep!

Oh my lord THIS.

I have no idea why people need to tell me how tall i am. I have been 5"11 for a few years now and even when i wasn't i was still taller than most around me so i have been fully aware of my height for many years now. I did not miraculously grow whilst driving to work, i had not forgotten my height until you told me and i certainly am not shocked when you remind me, again, that i am a giant. I wouldn't say to someone else 'God, you're a shortarse!'

People used to say to my mum 'Oh isn't she big' when i was little to which my mum would reply 'isn't yours fat/big eared/short/weedy.' whichever was appropriate. BRUTAL.

I actually do say this now to the people who call me tall. They soon shut up!

This ^^^

Especially when its on Facebook as their 'Occupation'.

I hate 'Can you just....', generally beacuse its always followed by a pile of work 5 minutes before Im meant to leave!
