What cliche drives you crazy?
 

I'm not a morning person, so I was tired of always hearing "the early bird catches the worm" when I stumble into work at 9:30 or 10:00. I learned to counter that with "yeah, but the early worm gets a raw deal now, doesn't he." Thankfully, that kills that cliche very quickly for me.

What cliche drives you the most crazy and how do you cope with it when you hear it?

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

It is what it is!

If your friends jumped off a cliff, would you..........please?

"Don't know if they are fake? Just send them all to me, I will smoke them and tell you." :rolleyes:

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Soooooooooooooooooooo agree with that.

I mean, "It is what it is", what the f does that mean?......absolutely NOTHING.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Sounds so helpless or passive/aggressive.

That one is my biggest pet peeve. Had a really crappy boss that loved to say that. I loved to retort with "it is what you make it".

I really don't deal well when someone says "it is what it is". I'm still trying to learn to play nice.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Don't know if you have heard the other retort to that but "The second (or late) mouse gets the cheese." :tu

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

"We'll head them off at the pass"

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

my usual response is on my coffee mug....

ME BOSS

YOU NOT

'nuff said

Cold enough for you?

NICE! I love that one!

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

I live in Las vegas so I have a couple

"Well it's a dry heat"
"Which Casino do you work at?"
another one I hate..
"The squeaky wheel gets the grease"

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."

Which is crap! You can have your cake and eat it too.

What you can't do is

Eat your cake and have it too.
You ate it, you don't have it anymore. It's inside you. If that is what you call cake (be it that it is chewed up and mixed with bile) I don't want any!

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

:r If I had a nickel for every time I'd heard that!!! ;)

when athletes are asked a question about a player they clearly do not like and they say "well hes a great player" everyone knows your lying out your ass, just tell the media how much you hate him.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

"Because I said so"


AAAHHHHHHHHHHH......RAAAAAAARRRRRR.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

"For all intensive purposes..." :bh
"I can't speak to that..." (I always think, "OK, so STFU") :r

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

My buddy in Phoenix usually replies by saying something like "so is an oven."

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

""Cigar Aficionado rated this a 91"

:D

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Two that bug me....

Worked in a grocery store 'If it was a snake it would have bit me' . Hope it was a poisonous one, open your #$#$#$ eyes.

'To tell you the truth', does that mean you usually lie.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

So did I !!!

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Good one!

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Ahahahahahahahahahaha thats awesome!

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Cliches in general suck because they reinforce the general decay of original thought in modern communication.

But the worst of them all is "deja vu all over again." Because most people using it don't even know how delightfully ironic it was the first time it was uttered by its inventor, Yogi Berra in 1963.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Two others that I really hate:

"It's now or never". (Just heard Big Ben use it after the SB)

"Think outside the box" is another one that I hate. Why I am I in a box... and even if I was, why do I need to think outside of it?

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

"The world needs more Patricks."


:D

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

calling them "world champions" for winning the "national" league.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Bingo!

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

You are the one that is spreading it! :fl

That's a favorite of my gf/soon to be ex-gf:mad:

It never fails that some wad will say "Wanna do mine next?" when I'm washing my car.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

When people hear my name is Michael Jordan they think they have something clever to say - all of them are junk. My favorite?

"Did your parents name you that on purpose?"




No, b*tch, they drew the name out of a hat. :rolleyes:

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Just be glad it wasn't Michael Bolton. :tu

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

I agree with if you friends jumped off a cliff one. My mom used to use that all the time until i was about 15 and I answered yes and spun on my heels. She cracked up and stopped using it.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

I like my box....

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

"sure.....(watch their eyes light up) for $200"

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

I say that one on occasion. Good to know that I can now irritate you with it Scott.;)

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

I gotta say

"not for nothing" or "nothin for nothin but..."

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Im in a hand basket, not sure where we are going though

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

I hate that one, because the cliche itself is not "thinking outside the box".

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

My mom used that one on me as well... I asked "if everyong breathed oxygen, do you think it might be a good idea?" I didn't end the argument though... I was just being a smart a$$ and got in more trouble with that one. :rolleyes:

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

My personal anti-favorite:

"Are you f*****g retarded?"

Actually, I don't really mind it, I'm just get angry because it always seems to be directed at me.

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Well? Are you?


;)

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

Don't be a ****ing retard, Peter

Re: What cliche drives you crazy?
 

"at the end of the day" :fl
