People who tell me to cheer up. They say this to me simply because I look unhappy. I have the very annoying condition that causes my neutral face to look like an angry serial killer. I'm just sitting there, wrapped in my own thoughts, staring into space, then one of my friends will notice and say 'cheer up'.
Firstly, that's incredibly annoying because I'm not sad, it's just how my face is.
Secondly, its incredibly lazy because if I were actually sad, the more appropriate thing to do would be to ask me what is wrong instead of just telling me to cheer up. I'm sorry if my sadness is bumming you out, your happiness is clearly more important than my unhappiness.
Telling someone who is feeling down to 'cheer up' is the equivalent of telling someone with a broken leg to 'jog it off'. It's extremely unhelpfull, usless in fact, and annoying.

'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain
'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House
“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom
"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech
