...But I am smiling.

How about someone saying, "Yeah...But this is different." when in fact it's the same thing. As in, when you ask someone why they did something that they just raised hell about another person doing and low and behold... You catch that person doing it.

Me: "Um... Didn't you just tell so and so not to do that?"

Them: "Yeah, but this is different."

Me: "Okaaayyyy...?" :scratch:

Agreed on "get a life." "You need to get out more" I can handle, but "get a life" is just silly.

I also dislike "you can't have your cake and eat it too." I know what it MEANS, but it makes no sense, the only point in having a cake is to eat it, at least I can't imagine really wishing I could keep the cake after eating it, so I don't think it compares to what it is supposed to mean.

"Grow up!" No, I'm not going to grow up. I'm not giving up on my older children's movies, especially the animated ones, and I will not stop buying my toy Routemaster replicas. You grow up and realize that some people with AS, might be childlike, but it's usually the NTs who are childish! I don't want to grow up...I want to be a Toys R Us Kid. Imagine what that store would have been like, if it was around, in the 1960s. Corgi Routemasters, everywhere, throughout the Boy's Section!

Yes, 'Grow up' is a terrible phase. I will always love anything animated.

I am another one who refuses to "grow up." I will always keep my childlike sense of wonder when I see my cats doing something funny.

I hate it when my Mum talks about people with mental health issues in a very derogatory manner. And then she projects it onto me.

On internet websites, of late often, any emotion featuring stories says phrases like "this gave me the feels" or "right in the feels" - that irritates me so, so much because it sounds juvenile, and I'm not a grammatical stickler but this just makes me cringe.

In general I hate all "internet" words like "yolo" or crap like that.

In real life, I hate the phrase "pull your socks up" because it's a strange analogy.

"The devil is in the detail".

"You pays your money and you takes your choice".

"Horses for courses".

"Are y'awright?".

The last one's particularly unfortunate, as it comprises about 50% of the vocabulary of many people in my neighbourhood.

The other 50% seems to be "See you later!".

No you won't.

When people say "sup?" or "what's up?" as a greeting, not expecting an answer.

I also hate hearing "grow up" and is's variants.

"I'm going it for your own good", when most of the time it has more negative repercussions, and "you're going to be ok".

if i'm going to die, i would like to know.

kinda like having a limb in a caste.

Folks have to know "what happened?". Since its usually the result of some stupid klutzy thing you did - your desire to NOT talk about is equal to everyone else's desire to ask about it.
