The customer is always right. Except when s/he's wrong. Which is most of the time. As one of my coworkers used to say, The customer always right is a policy, not a universal truth. One that very few stores actually have. Not to mention, in my experience it's always stated by a customer that is quite clearly in the wrong.

Another one: "kids will be kids". It's always used as an excuse by incompetent parents to never discipline their kids, ever. Yes, kids will be kids but if you teach them basic rules of life in society kids won't be s***stains.

As a southerner, I try my hardest not to say that because I don't care for it either. I usually substitute it with "You guys".

"It is what it is." makes me want to injure people. I hear this one too often as well.

Some moron says something racist/sexist/offensive and gets in trouble:
"Whatever happened to free speech?"
Nothing, dummy. The government hasn't arrested you for what you said. That does not mean there are no consequences.

If someone asks me if I want to "come with", I stare at them blankly. When they ask what's up I ask them why they didn't finish their sentence. When I lived in Wisconsin for a few years for my dad's job, people always used to ask me if I wanted to "come with" and then end the sentence there. I would always then ask "With what?" so I understand where you're coming from. I live in Wisconsin so I can confirm this. However, I don't see anything wrong with it. Not a saying or quote but I hate words like wifey or baby daddy. Oh and when people call ebay 'the bay'.

Anytime someone throws a hissy fit about "Happy Holidays", I wonder how much leisure time they have that they can make this the biggest problem in their life.

I absolutely DETEST the word "prego" being used as a slang term for pregnant. When I think of "prego," I think of spaghetti sauce, not pregnancy.

There's a Woody Allen quote that goes: "Bisexuality immediately doubles your chances for a date on Saturday night.", and it's endlessly posted by imbeciles on the bisexuality tag on Tumblr.
It's smegging irritating, not least because it "immediately doubles" your chances of rejection, too. Somebody forgot to teach Allen about probability.

"I fought the law, and the law won." My lawyer will have something to say about that. And also pissed me off because it's tinged with an anti-democracy attitude.

Anybody who uses the expression "meh" is a drooling simpleton.

Someone should have taught him a lot of things, like "don't seduce the stepdaughter".

I hate any kind of phrase that implicates that no matter how bad life is now, it is certain to improve in the future
