What cliche drives you crazy?
 
I'm not a morning person, so I was tired of always hearing "the early bird catches the worm" when I stumble into work at 9:30 or 10:00. I learned to counter that with "yeah, but the early worm gets a raw deal now, doesn't he." Thankfully, that kills that cliche very quickly for me.

What cliche drives you the most crazy and how do you cope with it when you hear it?

Sounds so helpless or passive/aggressive.

That one is my biggest pet peeve. Had a really crappy boss that loved to say that. I loved to retort with "it is what you make it".

I really don't deal well when someone says "it is what it is". I'm still trying to learn to play nice.

Don't know if you have heard the other retort to that but "The second (or late) mouse gets the cheese." :tu

"You can't have your cake and eat it too."

Which is crap! You can have your cake and eat it too.

What you can't do is

Eat your cake and have it too.
You ate it, you don't have it anymore. It's inside you. If that is what you call cake (be it that it is chewed up and mixed with bile) I don't want any!

when athletes are asked a question about a player they clearly do not like and they say "well hes a great player" everyone knows your lying out your ass, just tell the media how much you hate him.
