Perhaps many can agree that among some of the most annoying things are traffic, inflation, Karens, slow walkers, and drivers who don't move right away when the traffic light turns green. But that might be just the ADHD symptoms kicking in. Anyhow, lucky are those who don't get bothered by the many annoying things people do. Because for the rest of us mortals, there are just way too many annoying things about people that get under our skin.

Previously, we’ve dedicated numerous posts listing the many things that annoy people. However, it's not always the various actions and situations that get on people's nerves. While there are many things annoying people do, there are nonetheless annoying things they say that are particularly characteristic of nuisances.

Recently, a user in the Ask Reddit community asked fellow Redditors, "Which sentence is only used by annoying people?" And needless to say, the netizens had plenty of annoying statements to share. Apparently, according to Redditors, nuisances have several phrases and annoying comments in their vocabulary that they use on a daily basis.

Below, we've compiled a list of phrases and statements made by people who are 'annoying,' according to Reddit users. Do you agree with any of these? If you do, upvote the ones you approve of and put them higher on the list! Also, do you know of any more phrases often utilized by annoying people? Let us know! P.S. Keep in mind that we are not trying to insult or offend anyone; this is for entertainment purposes only. Hey, we can all be annoying sometimes!

It's statements like this that make me wonder how women's prisons aren't overflowing. If somebody said something this dismissive to me I would be surely tempted to strangle them.

There are usually only two reactions you'll get from that and you don't want either of them. One: Indignation and righteous anger. Two: Indignation and righteous anger... along with a side-helping of hormones because it *is* her "time of the month" (but none of your damn business).

If you’re assertive …you’re a b***h and an obvious lesbian. If you’re unassuming and keep your down low and just do your job…..then you need a man in your life. If a woman sleeps around then she’s slit shamed….if a man sleeps around, he’s virile and a stud. Why are these stereotypes still existing in the 21st century??!

    2 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Because this is not about lying. This is using the excuse of 'saying the truth' for stating rude opinions no one asked for. Example: what do you think about this jacket? Truth: I don't think it's flattering on you and it looks a bit tight. Maybe try a bigger size? Rude: you're too fat to wear that. You should accept that you're just not pretty. The last one is not an objective truth because everyone sees that different. One person's fat is another person's curvy. That makes it and opinion that was not what was asked for. It's just an excuse to make rude comments and put others down. And even worse when blurting out opinions without even asked to do so.

    Alpha males have a whole new definition now. It’s not always perceived as a positive trait. The toxic alpha leader trait is a tyrant. He orders people around. In a romantic relationship, instead of being protective, they are severe or unfair toward their female partners. He bullies and forces his opinions on her.

    I recently made the mistake of asking for a recommendation for a sleep doctor specifically specializing in insomnia treatment. "Try valerian root," is nothing I'm interested in.

    I HATE people who insist I try yoga or Bach Flower Remedies or that psychic who helped them so much. They all insisted on recommending things for my insomnia, even when I was sure they wouldn't help. I agreed to try some to make them happy. I later found out that to cure my insomnia, I had to have brain surgery, and now I sleep well.

    Oh man I overheard my trainee talking to someone about how I'm lacking because I don't talk to her. Like I trained you to know your job through telepathy?? When she was released on her own she chose the desk next to a chatty employee so she clearly just wants someone to chit-chat with throughout the day. Just because I don't chit chat all the time doesn't mean I'm lacking. So she gets the very cold but professional shoulder. I do chit chat with the person she decided to sit next to. That person is kind and never expected me to be anyone other than myself. THAT is how you get an introvert to feel comfortable with you.

    I have never caught anyone saying it. Though in the wild, it can often be found stencilled on the bathroom walls of middle-class suburbia, in a fabulously quirky font. It is rare to find this phenomenon without some diamante elements. Thoughtfully, it is usually situated within vomiting distance of a toilet, so there's that at least.

    This "may I" vs "can I" distinction does not exist in my language. Portuguese and Italian: posso. Spanish: puedo. French: puis. The same word for both. They Spanish phrase, "Si se puede" means both "yes you can" and "yes you may". If I remember correctly though, the distinction did exist in Latin.

    I only don't have a filter around my best friend and my partner. They're similar that way so they understand and it works out.I filter myself around everyone else. Like to an extreme. To be clear, I have mental health issues. Like a lot of them. So being myself around people is.....not safe in my mind. I wouldn't say I'm tactless, more like honest and teasing in a way most people would probably not like. Like for example, if my bestie and me went dress shopping and she asks my opinion on a dress she's trying on, I'm not going to say it looks good on her if it doesn't. But I'm not going to leave it at that, I'm going to actually give advice like "I don't think that dress matches your hair that well, but maybe we can find it in a different color?" Or something like that.

I didn't even notice and then I think "whoops the filter came off" and then I text my bestie to tell her about it and she says I'm an idiot, so I tell her it's why we're besties. I love her ☺️

    Well, lately I most often heard that from Christians who fought against bigots. But it's true that often bigots use it to defend outdated views too. But the last time I head that was in a TicToc of a priest calling out fellow Christians on using the bible as an excuse to be A$$holes. It was in the vein of: as a Christian you are obligated to love your next of kin and not judge them for the way god made them. I'm agnostic btw and it was still good to hear that some Christians start to realise that if they want to be treated differently than the bigots, they have to call them out on their sht.

    Hahaha. So, I had an extended warranty which the company cancelled because I missed one oil change by 2 days because we were out of town. They didn't bother cancelling it until we need a very expensive replacement part. One week later, one of these telemarketers calls with this BS. I let them have it. Demanded to talk to their manager, etc. because if I still had a warranty then I wanted my car repaired for free like it says in the paperwork. After a few moments they screamed at me 'Wrong number' and hung up. I haven't been called since.

    C'est la vie. It reminds me of a joke my uncle would say. The Spanish say "Que será, será" (whatever will be, will be). This means, life may suck in the future, so enjoy it now. But Brazilians say "é o que é" (it is, what it is). This means, life is already shít, so you might as well have a good time. Very different perspectives

    I tell my staff: The customer is most likely wrong, but they are the reason we earn a paycheck, which makes them the most important part of your day. If you get a true AH, send them to me and I’ll explain to them that in this office, we treat others with kindness and if they can’t agree to that, they’re free to take their business elsewhere.

    Hear me out. Child asks for an M&M at 4PM. Okay. Asks for another. Okay. Asks for another. At some point as a responsible parent I have to say no, that's enough M&M's before dinner. Child will ask for 'please, just one more.' I've drawn the line, and if I say yes now, the negotiations continue, so I say no. Any kid worth his salt wants to know why 5 M&M's were okay, but 6 is too many. It's like 4 calories. And the truth is, I don't have a good reason. That's just where I arbitrarily drew the line. But I can't really explain that to my irrational kid who will keep eating M&M's until they puke a chocolate rainbow. So I say it, even though I swore I never would. "Because I said so." "Because I'm the dad." Because I can't reason with you about nutrition, limits, etc. One day, yes, but you aren't there yet.

When asked if they would ingest the following in their food , people said NO ! (quercetin-3-galactoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-rhamnoside, catechin, epicatechin, procyanidin, cyanidin-3-galactoside, coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, and phloridzin). This is the chemical make up of an APPLE 🍎! They had no idea what it was but it the experiment soon morphed into these are chemicals to poison us, turn kids gay, pollute the environment and sorts of nonsense. Even when presented with the facts, some still clung deeply to their beliefs rather than attribute it to willful ignorance.

    Yes, it depends on the context and individual. It usually means that "I agree with your premise, but let us consider..." It can absolutely be constructive and actually provide future support and justification for the original opinion, just provide some enlightenment that others may approach the issue differently, and can provide a tee for an opposing opinion to be shot down.

    Hardly. The concept of the Devil's Advocate is a bit more serious. Established by the Catholic Church to act as an opponent during the canonization process, the devil's advocate had to forfeit his entire fortune, everything he (and it was always a male) owned, if he lost the case. That gave them a bit of a motivation to do their very best (and you tried damn hard not to be selected for that role), as opposed to this frivolous, throw-away comment by someone who thinks he's so smart, such a great debater.

    There is nothing at all wrong with our elders sharing their experiences with us. In fact, a DIY chain in the UK purposely employs older people because of their lived experience. Instead of writing older people off, maybe we should encourage them to share that experience and learn from them. After all, some of them are responsible for inventing practically everything we own. So maybe grandpa was trying to say 'Back in my day, we all sat down in a big room with a nice cup of tea and put together an air filter from spare parts we had lying around. This ensured that Jim Lovell and the crew of Apollo 13 had enough breathable oxygen to slingshot around the moon and back to earth safely.' If you zoned out at 'cup of tea' you would have missed the best bit. We have nothing to lose by tuning in to our elders and everything to gain. Remember that if grandpa is in a retirement home, you might be the only person he speaks to all week. He values that time. Maybe you should too.
