Perhaps many can agree that among some of the most annoying things are traffic, inflation, Karens, slow walkers, and drivers who don't move right away when the traffic light turns green. But that might be just the ADHD symptoms kicking in. Anyhow, lucky are those who don't get bothered by the many annoying things people do. Because for the rest of us mortals, there are just way too many annoying things about people that get under our skin.

Previously, we’ve dedicated numerous posts listing the many things that annoy people. However, it's not always the various actions and situations that get on people's nerves. While there are many things annoying people do, there are nonetheless annoying things they say that are particularly characteristic of nuisances.

Recently, a user in the Ask Reddit community asked fellow Redditors, "Which sentence is only used by annoying people?" And needless to say, the netizens had plenty of annoying statements to share. Apparently, according to Redditors, nuisances have several phrases and annoying comments in their vocabulary that they use on a daily basis.

Below, we've compiled a list of phrases and statements made by people who are 'annoying,' according to Reddit users. Do you agree with any of these? If you do, upvote the ones you approve of and put them higher on the list! Also, do you know of any more phrases often utilized by annoying people? Let us know! P.S. Keep in mind that we are not trying to insult or offend anyone; this is for entertainment purposes only. Hey, we can all be annoying sometimes!

It's statements like this that make me wonder how women's prisons aren't overflowing. If somebody said something this dismissive to me I would be surely tempted to strangle them.

    Hear me out. Child asks for an M&M at 4PM. Okay. Asks for another. Okay. Asks for another. At some point as a responsible parent I have to say no, that's enough M&M's before dinner. Child will ask for 'please, just one more.' I've drawn the line, and if I say yes now, the negotiations continue, so I say no. Any kid worth his salt wants to know why 5 M&M's were okay, but 6 is too many. It's like 4 calories. And the truth is, I don't have a good reason. That's just where I arbitrarily drew the line. But I can't really explain that to my irrational kid who will keep eating M&M's until they puke a chocolate rainbow. So I say it, even though I swore I never would. "Because I said so." "Because I'm the dad." Because I can't reason with you about nutrition, limits, etc. One day, yes, but you aren't there yet.

    You’re entitled to your own opinions but NOT to your own facts. Please read some science journals instead of social media. When asked if they would ingest the following in their food , people said NO ! (quercetin-3-galactoside, quercetin-3-glucoside, quercetin-3-rhamnoside, catechin, epicatechin, procyanidin, cyanidin-3-galactoside, coumaric acid, chlorogenic acid, gallic acid, and phloridzin). This is the chemical make up of an APPLE 🍎! They had no idea what it was but it the experiment soon morphed into these are chemicals to poison us, turn kids gay, pollute the environment and sorts of nonsense. Even when presented with the facts, some still clung deeply to their beliefs rather than attribute it to willful ignorance. Again:YOU’RE ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN OPINIONS BUT NOT YOUR OWN FACTS. #learnsciencebitches !

    There is nothing at all wrong with our elders sharing their experiences with us. In fact, a DIY chain in the UK purposely employs older people because of their lived experience. Instead of writing older people off, maybe we should encourage them to share that experience and learn from them. After all, some of them are responsible for inventing practically everything we own. So maybe grandpa was trying to say 'Back in my day, we all sat down in a big room with a nice cup of tea and put together an air filter from spare parts we had lying around. This ensured that Jim Lovell and the crew of Apollo 13 had enough breathable oxygen to slingshot around the moon and back to earth safely.' If you zoned out at 'cup of tea' you would have missed the best bit. We have nothing to lose by tuning in to our elders and everything to gain. Remember that if grandpa is in a retirement home, you might be the only person he speaks to all week. He values that time. Maybe you should too.
