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.

If you have to make this distinction, you're being rude.

Or maybe I'm just autistic and therefore can't understand social etiquette perfectly, so don't even know what I said was offensive.

People who say they are just 'brutally honest' are more interested in being brutal than honest. it is entirely possible to be honest without being hurtful.

As a corollary, it seems like the "What? I'm just being honest" crowd are also people who are very sensitive to any perceived criticism.

There’s honesty and tactlessness. People have forgotten how to be tactful (or they don’t care anymore).

"I speak what is on my mind", like that is a good quality. They think that makes them look smart. What looks smart is being able to say something in the perfect way as not to be offensive to others.

And if some ones says what do you think of my (insert purchase) must we claim to like it? My friend appreciates that I am honest and knows for sure if I like something now. She will ask me on purpose sometimes. If she cares to know of course.

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.

I AM sarcastic & rude. I make no excuses & admit it. I had a s****y life being nice & polite and got walked all over. If someone takes offense at what I say, it's most likely they're mad I pointed something out about themselves that they didn't like to admit or acknowledge. At my job, I'm professional & courteous as required, of course. But that's it.

I get this, but I’m autistic and have trouble telling if what I said was rude or not, so I think that’s an exception? Like obviously saying “I think you are to dumbest ugliest person ever” is obviously rude but me and a lot of autistic people have trouble telling

You are only being honest if somebody asks for your opinion. Otherwise, you are being rude.

I am honest, but noone has ever said I was rude. I have found it isn't so much what you say, but how and why you say it. Intent matters.

Look them right in the eye, smile and say “of course you’re only being honest. It just proves we’re meant to be friends.”
