No, its a different one. It definitely has something about a door in it. I can never remember the exact wording on it.
"Oh that's Normal"
Say what; come again, once more and slowly this time... how the hell is that "normal"?
If I comment on something I find odd, disagreeable or uncomfortable then it is not normal for me and therefore only normal by majority, what you are insinuating is that I am not normal for finding something off about a supposedly normal thing or situation!
Bah ; ]
1. Can I say something?
2. Do you mind if I ask you a question?
3. LOL
1,2--How would I know? I haven't heard it yet, and if I had, it would be too late for me to answer effectively.
3. Very little is that funny, certainly nothing one has to call attention to by using LOL after it.
"You know..."
I am guilty of using it too
But I don't know everything
"A watched pot never boils."
Um, that's B.S. It boils eventually!
"You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar" is a minor one. Actually, you catch more with vinegar, but that's not the reason I hate it. Why would I want to catch flies, and why would I want friends who act like flies? If that metaphor is to work on any level, you should replace "honey" with "horseshit" or something of the kind.
Really, who wants to be around people who behave like flies scavenging something? I sure don't.
Fair enough - I now have the same reaction the old nursery rhyme "ring around the rosies" because of its origins in the black plague. The truth can be disturbing.
baby swans aren't ugly. They are adorable. They are like cute, tiny feather-explosions! With miniature beaks! The analogy falls flat.
when dealing with customer service or work situations:
"I'm sorry you feel that way"
This never comes across as sincere, it never comes across as commiseration, condolence, or regret.
It just seems like a polite way of saying "You are soooo wrong I just can't be bothered to understand your complaint"
