Stupid things people say. . ..

**Toby's my baby** · 11-13-2005, 09:31 PM

I thought it would be fun to have a thread about stupid/ dumb/ funny things people say. One that always comes to mind for me is when people say:

"life is short" - life is not short, its the longest thing there is. . .

What else can you think of?

"Dont worry be happy"
Some teacher said that to me a few days ago

Easier said than done

Erm ... something stupid I said the other day:

My boss was asking me which two dogs I wanted to have the 50% discount on. I told her Nova and Luka because Mandy is usually wealthy.

So ... yeah, now Nova and Luka are poor

"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." - E. Roosevelt

Just another way to make people with anxiety disorder like me or with low self-estem feel bad about themselves...I've always HATED that quote.

"Sticks and stones may break your bones but names will never hurt you"

That is so not true. The wounds from verbal abuse are more long-lasting than physical abuse, In some cases it can take years to get over.

"Pit Bulls are time bombs."
"Let God into your life." -STOP trying to push your religion on me!!
"Oh, are you getting a puppy?" When people see me looking at dog breeders on the internet at school.
"Dalmatians are so high-strung and unpredictable, why do you have one?"
Um, first of all, he's not one, second of all, no they are not!!!

I don't think 'life is short' is a stupid statement. It is infact very true. People say that to remind friends/family that we should cherish each other while we are around. One day, someone dear to us will pass on, and yes...life is too short to hold grudges, or 'not care' about things, because once someone's life ends, there would be things we'd regret, if we didn't realize life is short ahead of time.

You realize how short life is when you lose a loved one. Life can end when we are least expecting it.

I believe the original post was made with the best of intentions and not with a lack of knowledge of certain things.

Heh, I remember a George Carlin sketch about "life is short". He said, "Life is short? What the hell? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!" and goes on to say something like he'd like to see if you've done anything longer.
