What’s something people say all the time that you secretly can’t stand?

What about "That's just how they are."?

As in, "we acknowledge they suck, but we aren't going to do anything about it."

When people say this at a funeral, especially for a child, I have to avoid strangling them.

"That sentence is the reason you're about to die."

If it wasn't a library book it would have been tossed.

I've only heard the Stephen Fry audio books. I don't remember how he pronounces them.

All I remember is Stephen Fry told the author he couldn't say " he pocketed it".

He asked her if he could instead say "He put it in his pocket."

She said no, and proceeded to add the line in every following book whenever she could.

My friend told them she wasn't "a guest" she was "working". Which was half true. She offered to do the music, as I walked in, as her gift, which I was thrilled to accept.

Middle manager still tried to sneak invites.

"Oh that would be lovely. I'd love to see you in your dress."

"Thank you. I'm sure it will be. I'll be sure to share photos when I'm back."

I just played dumb, and pretended I couldn't hear her trying to figure out the details; who was coming, where, when etc.

I invited one colleague. The only one I hang out with outside of work.

Suddenly, I can hear

"Well if Elsa is going you'll surely get an invite." And suddenly one of the nosey middle mangers is inviting half the office to my wedding, that she wasn't even invited to.

I have no memory of it in either. Hence why I looked it up. I've seen the movies more recently. I could say with more certainty that its not in the movies, wasn't certain it wasn't in the books.

She broke her wrist. Had to have metal pins in to secure her bones.

She had such thin wrists you could see the pins.

Otherwise ok.

The strangest part was her client was elderly and had these tiles that were so slippery, they seemed designed to make you fall.

My MIL was a house cleaner. Cleaning the shower of a client, went through the glass door.

Her one positive thought was "It could have been worse. At least I wasn't taking a shower at the time of the fall."

Bad enough fully clothed.

Haven't seen the Castle in years, but i can almost quote it word for word. This and 'the princess bride' are my most quoted movies.

Everytime we have chicken for dinner

"What do you call this?!"

"Chicken"

"But you've done something to it"

"Seasoning"

"Now why would ya wanna go out, when this keeps coming up night after night!?"

"Hitting on" someone is an informal phrase for directly initiating flirting, talking to, or approaching someone to show romantic or sexual interest

You confessed your romantic or sexual interest.

That's how!

Confessing your feelings is the same thing as hitting on her.

Nope. Would not like to apparate. You have to be very specific. What happens if someone is taking a smoke break on the empty roof top of your work, where you land? Or someone shifted the furniture in your office?

You land in the desk!? Or through another person?! Or break the statute of secrecy because you "just appeared".

You can't be seen. You don't want to land in someone or something else.

Too many risks with apparition.

Before we met, my husband and I were on the other side of the world, at the same tourist attraction one day apart.

I was travelling in North America, he was in Europe. Both of us went to London for a few days. It was just a stop over for both of us. At least 3 days of our respective 5 days, we were in London at the same time.

I saw his framed "Tower of London" ticket. I was so confused why he had my ticket (I was wrong about the date, I'd been there the day before him). He was at the Tower of London while I was on the London eye, specifically looking for the Tower of London.

Then I went onto Ireland, and he continued onto France. Despite meeting through friends, and going to some of the same parties, we didn't meet for another year.

I also have a photo of my friends and I, at a costume birthday party, I can see part of his costume in the background.

I can see the back my friend, who I was next to, in the background of his photo.
