Everybody has them. Things you absolutely hate hearing. Mine may not so much be "phrases" as they are words that I feel people over use.
1. "I'm sorry"- to me sorry is THE most over used word in the English language. People seem to use it today as a statement of dismissal as in "I don't really care but I'm going to tell you I'm sorry because that seems like the thing to do." Me personally, just don't say anything.
2. "That sucks"- Generally, when someone is telling you something that has happened to them and it sounds pretty awful or uncomfortable chances are they already know it sucks. It may be best to not remind them.
3. "I would if I could..."- I'm sometimes guilty of this one but I will own it. Most of the time I try not to say it because honestly if you can't help in any way then don't bother saying that. Give the reason you can't help, maybe offer some suggestions then move on.
4. "Maybe"- I think everyone still finds this one slightly annoying going way back to our childhoods.
5. and finally- "Easy, peasy"- simply because I hate it!! (Mimi will now be sure to use it 10 times as much simply because I can't stand it. lol)
