Are there any sayings, quotes, or "words of wisdom" that friggin' piss you off?  Sometimes, I'll be having a conversation with somebody or I'll be watching TV and a person will say a phrase that annoys me.  From that point on, I am fixated on that one stupid phrase or thought. EX: "everything happens for a reason". - They usually say this in an effort to make you feel better OR as an excuse of some sort.  It's retarded and there is no logic or sense applied to it.  It's just a lame cop out. "I'd give it all back if I could have just one more day with my dead _____(mother, father, grandfather...whatever)"  - No you wouldn't.  You hear really rich people say this stuff all the time.  "I'd give up all the houses and the cars and the boats if I could have just one more day with my dearly departed Father".  I call bullshit.  And....it's impossible anyway.  So it's really just an empty sentiment. "Purple people".  This is another impossiblity.  Whenever a discussion about race/ethnicity comes up, SOMEBODY will mention that they "love people of every color,,,red, brown, green, purple, white, etc".  People are not purple or green and yet, they somehow manage to get mentioned constantly.  I know, I know the person is just trying to make a point but, it just sounds so ridiculous to me.  There is no shortage of colors of people here on earth. Why bother to make up crazy "Crayola people"?There are quite a few of these little sayings that kinda bug me. You all know what I'm talking about, right?

It's just a lame cop out.   I disagree on this one.  Especially when 7 different doctors tell you while you're in the ER "There is no reason you should be alive right now."  I guess the whole everything-happens-fod-a-reason has kept me relatively sane after going through rather insane circumstances.

when someone uses the word literally when they mean figuratively "I litterally drank myself into a coma" - did you?  really?

What did you do?!""Huh? Sucks?? What do you mean?"   "Well...what did you do with your shit-filled pants?""Wha? I'm just sayin....it was funny"   "But you said 'literally'"."Fuck you"
