Comments that touch your buttons

"Calm down."
"Wrong." (Sounds condescending. You can say your own opinion or fact without calling me wrong, what's the point in that word?)
When people ask me for my opinion and then not like it and get mad at me for it.
"Nevermind." (not even bother to explain it to me)
"Slow down" when I am eating
"Don't yell" when I am not yelling and not even raising my voice

I hate the "Don't yell one." I worked with a co-worker who was like that. She would get in her moods and then you would get firm with her and it was "Don't yell at me, or I will yell at you." She did that to others too.

How about when people tell you to shhh and have a big catty smile on their face? They then throw in a "I can hear you all the way over here." I've told a few people like that to shut up before.

When someone makes a nasty comments that borders along the lines of being mean. Then the other person gets mad and goes, "I'm just kidding." Those are annoying.

How about when you say excuse me somewhere and then the other person gets and attitude and and mocks you back? They go "Scuse me," like they are more important. I mocked someone like that once at the grocery store for doing that to me and then I turned on my heel and walked away.

its being called hun or sweety or stuff like that for me that drives me nuts. Oh and also i can't stand racial/derogatory slurs and the word ret*d.

"Everyone deals with anxiety, it's just a part of life."

"It's stressful for everyone"

They have no idea how stress effects me.

"Life's a b***h, then you die."
Any variation of this one always makes me mad, its such a sh***y cop out people use when you complain about anything and no life doesn't have to be a "b***h", its beautiful. Shut up you f*****g idiot.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"
Again, any variation and the context matters. If a person just asks "hey, what are you doing?" that's fine. I mean when I'm actually doing something and its obvious but a person asks this question as some kind of rhetorical question because I'm doing so appallingly bad or shocking. If you see me doing something wrong, simply say "Hey..stop driving so fast!" "Add some water to that paint brush, your colors are too dark!" "Add some water and turn down the heat on the stove!" etc etc.
"Stop being so manipulative."
Hear this the most when I have a meltdown, it makes me so angry.
"Hey you, yeah you."
Rude as hell and makes me feel threatened. Sounds too much like something a cop or authority figure would say.
"Are you slow?"

I only have one:

Have you ever tried online dating?

Whenever you are about to cry and someone who is being insensitive says,

"What's the matter with you do you have bugs in your eyes?"


Others.

"Do you have a staring problem?"

"That's not normal, your behavior is a sign of a mental illness."

''People who laugh at you aren't worth knowing.''

''If your friend gets the hump with you, he/she wasn't a very good friend in the first place.''

''Stop moaning.''

''Ssshhhh!''

The last two can sometimes send me into a meltdown.

So I am not alone on the last one. I feel the same way.

" But we've always done it this way" - I don't care what you did 50 years ago. Legislation's changed, technology has changed, and bigotry , sexism and discrimination are harshly punished these days. Some people have even dveloped a sense of logic.

"Yeah that happened to me once blah blah" (Lets talk about me. We've ben talking about you for 3 minutes)

Any sort of double-speak where someone is trying to either manipuate or insult you, but arn't brave enough or honest enough to do it directly.

"You're too sensitive./ It was only a joke" Their inevitable response to you calling them on the above, or making a snappy responseto it.
