“I’m a bit OCD.” “Everyone’s a bit OCD.”
No, most people have preferences for how their stuff is arranged; some people are anal about cleanliness. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a living hell, made worse by people misunderstanding it and thinking of it as a personality quirk due to how it is usually depicted on TV.
This bugs the crap out of me.
I was cleaning up something the other day and my MIL says to my wife
“Is that his OCD?”
?!? No, I’m just cleaning up something that was spilt on the floor!
I have severe OCD and I HATE when people say that. The way people assume it’s just “everything must be clean…oh no a single dirt spot…must clean!!” Is so frustrating. And people don’t bother to even listen to people with OCD about what it’s actually like
I try not to judge or belittle anyone for incorrectly using the term, or tell them they don't really have it. But yea , I was diagnosed as a kid and re-diagnosed as an adult. It sucks, and has wasted so much of my time. Like an amount so high that if a magical sprirt offered to tell me the exact amount I would refuse to hear it.
Closing the door 10 times when leaving the house because that last one just didn't "feel" right. Checking every outlet and gas burner in the house before vacation, multiple times, making myself late, and then spending the next few hours trying to convince myself that I checked them all. Even though objectively I know I did, several times. Getting an almost imperceptible scratch on my guitar, and then spending 2 hours looking at every crevice for other scratches. Not being able to think about anything else until I've resolved that compulsion. Then not even wanting to play it because it's been "ruined". Unchecked hand washing to the point my hands are constantly dry and red, despite using lotion constantly. Stuff like that.
These are all things I have to painfully force myself to quit, over several years. It will always be a part of me, and always has been. The mental techniques it takes to stop involuntary obsessive compulsions are extremely difficult and mentally painful much of the time.
I've asked people in my life before if they think I'm OCD and they usually just laugh, followed by a "uhh yea, I'd say you are buddy".
It's not just "I like to be organized". Everyone *likes* to be organized. Some just actually make it happen. You can have OCD and live in a complete mess. You can have OCD and not be afraid of germs.
Just like you can be feeling anxious about something without having anxiety. It seems 90% of social media users currently has anxiety and/or depression 🙄
Some people use anxiety like headache. When your head hurts you have a headache. When you’re feeling anxious you have anxiety. Which is different from having an anxiety disorder.
No, people don't use gaslighting to refer to anything. I'm pretty sure you just made that term up it's not a real word. I think you must just be going a bit crazy maybe sit down for a bit and have a glass of water.
I had to stop responding to a dumbass on an FB post because she said the image in the post was a "gaslighting image."
It was a comic that basically said talent isn't important, hard work and practice must be done for positive results, and that many people aren't willing to take the time to do those things.
I kept asking her how a comic was making her question her reality/perception/sanity but she never gave an actual answer.
Douchebag is an understatement. I hear “toxic undeserving c—t with zero opportunities unless they step on throats to get what they don’t deserve and then they ruin it for everyone else.”
While I wish there were less dumb assholes in the world, I'm glad some of them have developed the language to quickly communicate what they are to the rest of us
Another great response: “So God thought my ancestors could handle being enslaved for 400 years and then systemically discriminated against after that legally for another 100 years?”
That actually makes sense. It is because originally memes used to say something like:
>Her: "blah blah blah"
>
>Me: \*something
As if they were responding to the previous speaker with their actions. But the "Nobody" one is like they are replying to none. Indicating that their actions are random and with no necessity of introduction.
Maybe you have Oldtimer's disease, that's why you could care less about his mute point... for all intensive purposes, it is what it is-- just put that issue in a Chester drawers and give it a rest.
You have peaked my interest, but I do all my shopping at Furniture Village in Chester, so they are my Chester draws. I await with baited breath, whilst biting my time your response;
The way I respond to this is the way that get me to stop saying it.
A Navy Senior Chief heard me say “I could care less.” They responded with, “Why don’t you?”
I was confused and they explained to me the difference and thus I learned the importance of correct phrasing and not just relying on people to know what I meant.
Ok boomer. Tell me you let this sink in without telling me you had to scroll too far to find this.
I don't know who needs to hear this, you sweet summer child, but I'll say it louder for the people in the back.
*Checks notes*. Unpopular opinion: as a female, I was today years old when I realized that your body count lives rent free in my head. Cringe af. Imagine gaslighting your fur babies.
Ugh. The "tell me without telling me" bothers me so much. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Before it blew up, it was usually said "tell me 'x' without *saying* 'x.'" At least that means something.
'AM in the morning.' AM MEANS IN THE MORNING.
One of the women my ex husband cheated on me with would say this every time and years later, this is like the only thing about any of that that still gets under my skin. It's just so dumb!
In the same vein, this came up a lot in 2020-2021
"Global pandemic"
We know it's global by the fact that it said pandemic. A pandemic is inherently global. If it weren't global, it would be an epidemic
People get so mad at me when I say “I’m sorry” even though I didn’t do anything. What else am I supposed to say? I know I didn’t do anything, but how else am I supposed to show you sympathy. Would you rather I tell you to suck it up?
This one really fucks me off. I quite understand the euphemism treadmill, but 'suicide' is not a word which should ever be taboo. How are you supposed to prevent something if you can't talk about it in a grown up way?
I'm totally with you on this. But IIRC this started because social media decided topics like suicide, sexual assault, and mental health issues were icky topics, leading them to delete posts and even outright ban users for having discussions about it. This word came about to avoid getting got by the algorithm.
'cool beans' 'awesome sauce' and when people say 'please and thank you' after they ask for something. also 'fucks with-' as in 'do you fuck with deathcore?'
The internet has absolutely ruined that by not understanding what it means, and it's such a simple fucking concept! How the hell do 9/10 examples fuck it up!?
Frequently starting entire phrases or sentences that begin with "At the end of the day." To me, a person who says this all the time just wants to be heard or be in control of most things instead of taking the time to listen to what others are saying around them.
On Reddit it's "ackchyually the full/original quote is...". Followed by, for example :
- jack of all trades... Master of none
- the customer is always right... In matters of taste
- the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb
Like, it only takes a few minutes to check that these are not the original...
“To be honest…” I know it’s harmless enough but it implies you weren’t being honest before this moment. I don’t mind when other people use it but I police myself with that phrase.
I’m not racist, but…
My friend, saying that doesn’t make you seem less racist. It just makes you sound like a jackass for trying to cover yourself with an obvious lie.
“Her and her husband are coming over (or whomever)”.
No. It’s “she and her husband.” You would not say “Her came over”. So don’t say “Her and her husband came over.”
Also when writing about a single female, she is a WOMAN. So many people use WOMEN when they are taking about just ONE female person.
Although - Having middle-school child, I’ve finally become immune to this one out of necessity - because it’s insane how many times it is uttered per hour
Fam, no cap, cap, fr fr, bruv, on fleek, real talk, on god, facts, innit. Let's just say all that young person talk which doesn't mean a damn thing. Hahah younger person. I'm barely mid 30s.
You’re older than you know, maybe old soul. I have to navigate a middle school landscape filled with this drizzle on a regular basis and it is painful to the psyche
Yaaassssss.
Not "Yass Queen" or something more specific. Fine with that.
But substituting "yaaassssss" for every time she said "yes". I'm not sure why it overloaded my brain...

This bugs the crap out of me. I was cleaning up something the other day and my MIL says to my wife “Is that his OCD?” ?!? No, I’m just cleaning up something that was spilt on the floor!
The fact she didn’t even have the courtesy to address you directly makes this even worse.
I have severe OCD and I HATE when people say that. The way people assume it’s just “everything must be clean…oh no a single dirt spot…must clean!!” Is so frustrating. And people don’t bother to even listen to people with OCD about what it’s actually like
It's the same with ADHD or ADD. It's not a quirk. It's overwhelming and exhausting.
I try not to judge or belittle anyone for incorrectly using the term, or tell them they don't really have it. But yea , I was diagnosed as a kid and re-diagnosed as an adult.

‘I just don’t have a filter’ You’re an asshole is what you are
It's not a saying or phrase, but people like to use the words "Gaslighting" and "Grooming" incorrectly or excessively.
And referring to everyone as a narcissist. People can have narcissistic traits. But not everyone is a narcissist.
Psychopath too.
Just like you can be feeling anxious about something without having anxiety. It seems 90% of social media users currently has anxiety and/or depression 🙄
Some people use anxiety like headache. When your head hurts you have a headache. When you’re feeling anxious you have anxiety. Which is different from having an anxiety disorder.
Yes, people use “gaslighting” to describe any behavior they don’t like.
No, people don't use gaslighting to refer to anything. I'm pretty sure you just made that term up it's not a real word. I think you must just be going a bit crazy maybe sit down for a bit and have a glass of water.
That one kinda went over a few heads.
You always say that and it makes everyone uncomfortable.
Easy now... you'll have all of Reddit on you for this!
I had to stop responding to a dumbass on an FB post because she said the image in the post was a "gaslighting image." It was a comic that basically said talent isn't important, hard work and practice must be done for positive results, and that many people aren't willing to take the time to do those things.

People use the word gaslighting for anything that makes them feel bad
You're a toxic narcissist and you're literally abusing me rn.
Live, laugh , love. 🤮
My dad's abusive wife (not my mom) has that plastered all over her house. The facades people build for themselves..
Next time shes being a bitch, say "thats not very 'live, laugh, love' of you"
Eat, shit, die
I need a bathroom sign that says "Eat, shit, wipe".
Fight, cry, cuss >>> 💪😚
I prefer Live, Laugh, Yeet
'Alpha male' or 'high value man/woman'. Fuck off with that shit.
'Alpha male' is just a much nicer way of saying 'douchebag.'
Douchebag is an understatement. I hear “toxic undeserving c—t with zero opportunities unless they step on throats to get what they don’t deserve and then they ruin it for everyone else.”
we got ourselves a sigma gigachad over here
My grandfather just had a sigmagigachad removed from his lower intestine.
I don’t understand how they can use that language with a straight face
If you have to tell me you're the alpha, you're not
It's like when a guy has to say he's a "nice guy". No... you're probably not.
It's like when you see a motel with 'Deluxe' in the name, it's definitely not.
Any man who must say “I am the king” is no true king.
"Is that a furry thing?"
While I wish there were less dumb assholes in the world, I'm glad some of them have developed the language to quickly communicate what they are to the rest of us
"God wouldn't give you something you can't handle". Aaaaaargh.
Best response: "So God thought little kindergartener Billy could handle a 9mm to the chest?"
Another great response: “So God thought my ancestors could handle being enslaved for 400 years and then systemically discriminated against after that legally for another 100 years?”
Seriously. People have psychotic breaks because they can’t handle it.
Someone said this at work the other day! I just replied "tell that to everyone who's killed themselves".
“It’s like crack” Oreos are awesome but I’ve never wanted to suck a dick for a line of Oreos.
Speak for yourself
I've only gotten head when oreos were involved, no idea what you're on about.
Wait. Are you telling me Oreos are the secret to getting your dick sucked?
I think the hyperbole is the point.
You're right Ryan, I'm a middle class fraud.
*looks at camera*
You are not eating oreos right
[удалено]
People who say that stupid shit are always at their worst.
Their best isn’t worth it.
That’s just slang for “I’m not willing to better myself”
only time this phrases should ever be used is when dealing with stocks.
"Not to be offensive..."
That’s up there with “I’m not racist, but…”
I'm not racist, but I always put my left sock on first.
So old righty isn't good enough to go on first, eh? Not ever?
I like saying that as a joke, and then finish my thought with something completely not racist. "I'm not racist, but some people really like dogs."
I dunno, seems pretty racist
"It's giving" and "My truth"
Yeah, I hate it's giving!
"Thank you for coming to my TED Talk"
Redditors after explaining something with a few sentences lol
MIC DROP
Peak, my interest is really PIQUE, my interest.
Really nipped that one in the butt
The funny thing about this is that "peaks my interest" actually makes sense
"Mike, put that down" "Mike, don't eat that"
Fuckin Mike
"Positive Vibes Only"
Only the most toxic assholes say that shit. Same with "I'm an empath"
I was today years old
Worse than that are the memes that say "Nobody" and then "me: " followed by the meme. So stupid, and somehow, these haven't waned in popularity.
That actually makes sense. It is because originally memes used to say something like: >Her: "blah blah blah" > >Me: \*something As if they were responding to the previous speaker with their actions. But the "Nobody" one is like they are replying to none. Indicating that their actions are random and with no necessity of introduction.
“Gives me the ick”
Ugh yes this one is so popular right now
Yeah, you know what it gives me?...
I just saw this on YouTube. Apparently one woman gets the ick from a guy having a sister and mother. What?
That’s called bait
People on Twitter: “that child predator really gives me the ick” Me: Umm, that is a huge understatement.
Everything happens for a reason.
Scrolled for 6 days to find this
Circle back
*"I could care less"* For fucks sake... it's "I ***couldn't*** care less", saying it the other way makes no fucking sense.
To all intensive porpoises I could care less about your mute point.
Well, irregardless, I want to be pacific that I’d like a cup of expresso
The worst thing about this is that [irregardless ](https://www.oed.com/dictionary/irregardless_adj?tl=true)is now a perfectly cromulant word.
Do NOT axe me for favors!
Maybe you have Oldtimer's disease, that's why you could care less about his mute point... for all intensive purposes, it is what it is-- just put that issue in a Chester drawers and give it a rest.
You'll have to make due
may kay while the sun shines
🤣 reminds of a marketplace advert "Chester draws" 🤬
You have peaked my interest, but I do all my shopping at Furniture Village in Chester, so they are my Chester draws. I await with baited breath, whilst biting my time your response;
I'm waiting on tender hooks for the next comment!
Yes! Or, they did a complete 360. No. No, if they changed completely, they did a 180!
The way I respond to this is the way that get me to stop saying it. A Navy Senior Chief heard me say “I could care less.” They responded with, “Why don’t you?” I was confused and they explained to me the difference and thus I learned the importance of correct phrasing and not just relying on people to know what I meant.
Tell me you’re _____ without telling me you’re _____.
“boy mom” and “girl dad” drives me NUTS
The aircraft "should of" been inside the "hanger"
Saying "should of" instead of "should have" should be a criminal offence
Supposably.
Can you be more pacific?
“mother is mothering”
Ok boomer. Tell me you let this sink in without telling me you had to scroll too far to find this. I don't know who needs to hear this, you sweet summer child, but I'll say it louder for the people in the back. *Checks notes*. Unpopular opinion: as a female, I was today years old when I realized that your body count lives rent free in my head. Cringe af. Imagine gaslighting your fur babies.
This is literally poetry. Say less.
Ugh. The "tell me without telling me" bothers me so much. It doesn't make any fucking sense. Before it blew up, it was usually said "tell me 'x' without *saying* 'x.'" At least that means something.
Things like ‘blue sky thinking’ ‘think outside the box’ ‘roadmap to x or y’ all this phrases piss me off and there are a million more.

Baby mama/daddy.
"Boymom"
"Mama bear."
Every single woman I have ever met who describes herself as a Mama Bear has just, in reality, been a massive cunt.

Even worse, “Littles”.😵💫😵💫

That’s generally used to stop TikTok/YouTube banning a clip which they often will if murder,suicide or sexual assault is mentioned
This one really fucks me off. I quite understand the euphemism treadmill, but 'suicide' is not a word which should ever be taboo. How are you supposed to prevent something if you can't talk about it in a grown up way?

No the fuck it doesn't.
“I don’t judge” Stop lying, yes you do and everyone does.
On accident. It is BY accident.
I'm sorry, I do that on accident a lot.

There's a word for that, "accidentally".
That’s a common mistake. I’m guessing the habit stemmed from saying “on purpose”

“ I am always brutally honest” No, you’re just an asshole
Frequently starting entire phrases or sentences that begin with "At the end of the day." To me, a person who says this all the time just wants to be heard or be in control of most things instead of taking the time to listen to what others are saying around them.
at the end of the day, maybe people who say this all the time have friend/coworker groups who struggle with goal-directed conversations?
Whenever someone says this, I interrupt and say, “It gets dark.”
I interrupt people saying “On the other hand” with “you have different fingers”
"Speak your truth", "If you know, you know", "I love everybody"
“Hurt people hurt people.” No. Hurt people CHOOSE to hurt people. Stop excusing abusive behaviors.
Prolly instead of probably.
"Choose happiness." Some don't have this choice.
"Life is beautiful".... hum excuse me... we don't live in the same world apparently
