Statements that are annoying-Share yours

“Excuse me?”
Asked in the manner that a wrong has occurred.
What is your objection?

[VentAlarm]

“Today’s my Friday!!!”

I can’t pinpoint why, but this one is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Meh. That’s how I explain to my neighbors why I’m drinking on a weeknight.

“In my hands”

Why do you need an explanation?

“We’re all in this together.”

No. We’re not.

Ugh, I hated this one during the early days of covid! We’d hear it from C-suite all the time as they’re sending an email or conducting a zoom meeting from their home office, while we’re in the clinic seeing covid patients with nothing on but a paper surgical mask.

Yep. We’re all in this together. Our c-suite decided all docs would get an equal pay cut….the same percent for the spine surgeons who got 8 weeks off as the icu docs who were rounding on 2 full services……

Anything in the “thoughts and prayers” department. (Except when used sarcastically)

[Bellescamp]

Everything happens for a reason

i’m gluten free

[Hatton]

I want my hormones checked.

i am tired.
i have a high pain tolerance.

[Lordosis]

"I only come in when I really need to"

Why did I already see you 4 times this year?

Financial:

"You cannot afford not to xxxxx"

[CalMD]

Usually at the end of visit:

"Oh, by the way doc..."

The last was actual personal. My spouse was in the hospital room and refused an epidural until "I" got there. The nurse that called me told me I had plenty of time, probably six or eight hours. That was not helpful. I took my time. I did face a crazy lady that turned out to be my wife. "Where were you!" The anesthesiologist waited and said "Are you ready now?"

“I have a high pain tolerance”

“ I heard of a medication, hydro something or di-loft-did?”

As your hand is already on the door handle…

This is not really a statement, but something that I've noticed over the past 5 years that annoys the absolute ************************ out of me is the use of the word RIGHT as a verbal crutch. For instance, when somebody is speaking, particularly when they are explaining something or making a point, they will interject the word RIGHT with questioning tone. I find it fairly insulting to have someone talk to you this way.

I didn't really notice it until this past year, since which time this trend seems to be growing exponentially, RIGHT???????

I notice it everywhere now. Biden's almost intolerably patronizing press secretary is especially guilty of doing it.
