RE: Phrases that annoy you
"But if you call now, we'll give you [insert some unneeded item here] for free!"

Also, "Kids these days..." or "Back when I was growing up..."
Don’t ask.

RE: Phrases that annoy you
I really REALLY despise anyone saying to anyone else "Oh you wouldn't understand". it's got to be the single most patronising and condescending phrase known to man.

"He's literally the size of a house!". This is untrue, unless it's a tiny house. He may be a very large man, but he is not LITERALLY the size of a house. It's just one that really gets me.

If this man is literally the size of a house... are you seriously going to keep insulting him? Heart

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Only that I really hope you would not understand some things. As I hope to never really understand others.

"You may or may not encounter resistance."
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
