What’s Something People Say That’s Always Annoying?

There are a lot of lists on people’s personal pet peeves . . . but some stuff is almost UNIVERSALLY ANNOYING.

Someone on social media asked, “What statement makes you roll your eyes immediately?”  And here were some of the most popular responses:

1.  Overly corporate jargon . . . “synergy,” “bandwidth,” “let’s circle back,” or “Let’s drill down, and do a deep dive into the core metrics before we reinvent the wheel on our verbiage.” 

2.  “Alpha male.”

3.  “I’ve done my research.”  Especially when it was a YouTube video.

4.  “We’ve ALWAYS done it that way.”  Quickest way to become extinct.

5.  “I’m just being honest.”  Jerks justifying the things they say.

6.  Bringing up astrology randomly . . . like, “I’m a Libra, so . . .”

7.  “My truth.”  It feels like saying “my feelings are more important.”

8.  “Do you know who I am?”  The classic!

9.  “Money can’t buy happiness.”  Another classic.

10.  “You’re just too sensitive!”  It’s just a way to avoid personal responsibility over your actions and words.

11.  “I’m shook” or “That triggers me.”

12.  “Woke.”  Especially as a pejorative.

13.  “As a mother . . .”

14.  “I’m not racist, but . . .”

15.  “I probably shouldn’t say this, but . . .”

16.  “I don’t usually write reviews . . .”

17.  “Everything happens for a reason.”

18.  Starting any statement with “Yeah, no.”
