What's a word or sentence that ALWAYS gets your back up?

[GirlinContempt]

I'll start.

the AFL-CIO, when mentioned in a positive, 'look how pro labour we are!" way.

You next.

[BarenakedLady]

1. "Smile! Be happy!"

Grrrrrr

:grr:

[GirlinContempt]

2. Someones got a case of the mondays!

[BarenakedLady]

3. Gahhhh!

:spank: :spank:

You found another one!

...why I oughta... ;)

[billyskank]

4. Oh, come on

it can't be that bad.

;)

[BarenakedLady]

11. ....

:spank: :spank:












:hi:

[billyskank]

14. I completely deserved that

:hi:

[GirlinContempt]

7. Turn that frown upside down!

Did you know it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile?

[BarenakedLady]

13. You are evil...

EVIL I say!

}(

[EstimatedProphet]

5. USA! USA! USA!

George W Bush is the best danged pretzident we ever had!

We gotta fight them over there so's we don't hasta fight them over here!

Freedom ain't free!

America is the best danged country on earth! Nobody else is free!

[GirlinContempt]

8. I was thinking more....

less obvious ;)

[EstimatedProphet]

12. More less obvious...?

[GirlinContempt]

17. Exactly

[hfojvt]

21. Freedom's just

another word for 'nothing left to lose'

[BlueIris]

6. "Feminine 'hygiene' product."

Bite me.

[GirlinContempt]

9. I'm not sure that would be hygienic.

[bif]

10. It's all the Union's fault."

I hate union bashing.

[GirlinContempt]

22. Some unions need to be bashed.

If a union is in bed with corporations, and backing/funding anti-labour action, I think a bashing is well deserved.

[likesmountains 52]

15. Change is hard...grrrrrrrrrr

[GirlinContempt]

23. Change is soft.

[hfojvt]

28. "you are afraid of change"

especially when used to support a really stupid idea. See there are only two choices our stupid idea, which represents 'change' or 'the status quo'.

[likesmountains 52]

39. exactly....if you don't support our newest, dumbest plan it's because

you're afraid of change...

[BlueIris]

16. "I'm/She's/We're 'transitioning'..."

ACK. Makes the former grammar Nazi in me grind her teeth and mentally throw things.

[GirlinContempt]

24. I've never heard that before

Interesting :)

[bif]

18. (After losing a job) "This might work out for the best."

Yeah, right. Zero income and no benefits is a positive thing.

[GirlinContempt]

25. Maybe it's backwards day.

[hfojvt]

19. reichwing

Ralph Nader :nuke: :argh:

[GirlinContempt]

26. I fucking hate 'reichwing' too

and 'bushivek'
I could go on.

[BlueIris]

20. Health-care providers who use the term "discomfort" to describe PAIN.

Assholes.

[GirlinContempt]

27. Sounds less than cozy

[hfojvt]

29. I had a dentist who talked that way

'There's a little discomfort' in other words, you will be screaming in pain. But I was the one who used to have him drill without giving me a shot.

[Drum]

30. "posture"

:)

[GirlinContempt]

33. But spinal health is important

[BlueIris]

31. "I'm sorry...THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY."

The unapologetic "apology." It's a dickhead classic.

[GirlinContempt]

34. I think "I'm sorry you're a fuckwad"

is up there, too

[skygazer]

32. "You're just in denial"

Classic non-argument. No matter what you say, it can be explained away by your own denial. :banghead:

[GirlinContempt]

35. Not if you deny it

[grace0418]

36. "I'm sorry if you were offended."

Not "I'm sorry I offended you" which is an actual apology but "I'm sorry if you were offended." Which is not only an anti-apology but an accusation of oversensitivity as well. I call it a Republican apology.

[Adsos Letter]

40. I have to second this one, as you beat me to the punch...

This one always pisses me off; self-righteousness with a nice helping of "f*ck you". It places the onus completely back on the offended party, and does nothing to rectify the injury. bleh...

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

37. The "Democrat Party"

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[BlueIris]

38. "We're pregnant."

AAAAAAAUUUUUUUGGGGGGHHHHH.

[evlbstrd]

41. (Insert new hire name here) is "officing" on the fifth floor.

[BlueIris]

42. "S/he's just not that in to you."

AAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH.

[BlueIris]

43. (After asshole is called on offensive remark) "No, you heard what you WANTED to hear."

In my experience, this is typically the first defense of the psuedo-sensitive man after having said something profoundly insensitive/ignorant to someone else.

[billyskank]

44. "We are making this change to better improve our customer service"

when the only reason ANY corporation changes ANYTHING is to save $$$ and improve their bottom line, savings which will not be passed on to their customers; the interests of the customers have fuck all to do with anything.
