“Everything Happens for a Reason!” Common Phrases That Instantly Annoy People

12.13.2023 by Fred Berman //

Why try and thoughtfully reason out or explain something when the above phrase covers every possibility?   Here are a few more gems guaranteed to make you sound like an arrogant nerd, and not the good kind of nerd that can fix your computer, explain bitcoin, set up your Wi-Fi or make a fortune in on-line gaming.

  • ” You always do that!”  – Nobody always does anything with one exception: Politicians always lie.
  • “No Offense but…” – They will be offended and possibly resort to physical violence (May include guns in Florida and Texas).
  • “Can’t you take a joke?” – Can’t you take a knee in the groin?
  • “Vacay, Merch or hubby” – Shortening common words is not cute, saves no time and makes you sound like the pompous jerk-wad you are. 
  • Tell me, without telling me” – I am at a loss on this one.  
  • “There are lots of fish in the sea” – Count again and the ones that are left have mercury poisoning.
  • “If I’m being honest” – That would be nice…for a change.
  • “Literally”- Rarely is it used correctly.  There was literally a million people at my party or every idiot believes the presidential election was a fraud. Oh wait, that last one’s true.
  • “Needless to say” – If it’s needless to say shut your pie hole!

When in doubt just say, “Hmm interesting,” or STFU!
