What phrase drives you crazy?

[Guacamole409]

I'm not being braggadocious, but both of my parents were smart, and the apple doesn't fall far from the... the thing... you know the thing...

The phrase that drives me crazy is: "Walls don't work"

Wait, what? How do they not work? I live in an apartment, and I love my walls. They work just fine.

Oh, the border wall. Should we have just planted fields of daisies?

That might work. When I hear someone say that walls don't work, I try to imagine what it must be like to be that fucking stupid. How do walls not work?

Gomer: Walls don't work, because they just need to carry a 50 foot ladder for thousands of miles.

Avacado: Yes, I see your point.

"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"

I've tried to kill myself 5x and, obviously, failed... Has that made me a stronger person? Hell no.

"Work is the route to a better life"

No, it isn't... That my employment history is nothing to brag about does not mean I haven't tried. I have been a chef for 22 years... and that has added to my already poor mental health.

My dad has worked all his life: House repossessed 2x; divorced; lost 3 of his 4 sons, me included; years and years of being on the run for debt collectors; hundreds of thousands of 'Dutch Guilders' (old currency) and Euros in debt; 'Alcoholic', not really but he does drink an awful lot.

Besides that...9 million workers, out of a total work population of 33 million here in the UK, have to rely on State Benefits to make end-meet.

But look at the US... While poverty is nowhere near as bad in the US compared to the UK (11% US, 22% UK); the American Dream has died decades ago already. Millions of Americans need to work 3-4 jobs a day, 15 hours a day, to even slightly have something which resembles a good life. While in America there are most certainly many opportunities to climb up on the wealth-ladder, this only succeeds for a small percentage of Americans.

Are we just going to talk about the wall? Because the question infers it could be about anything and in that case I would have to say
"birth control doesn't work".
I know it works! I believe these people are just too darn lazy to go to the store and buy condoms and double up on them since y'all say they break.

There is so many forms of birth control now a days. But people would just rather have sex and say that dreaded prayer "Oh God, please let her get her period".

I have actually know young women that use abortion as their form of birth control. That makes me sick!!

You know, you don't HAVE TO HAVE SEX! Social Media makes it sound like sex makes the world go around. Well, it doesn't.

I try to emphasize using birth control on this website and I always get the same thing said to me "birth control doesn't work".
Well then keep your legs closed!

On similarworlds they allow you to delete your questions. On this site, your intellectual property belongs to gag. They own it and you don't. I want to delete this question, but I can't.
