Redditors on Saturday revealed the most annoying statements and phrases they’ve ever heard in a viral thread
From work to personal relationships, commentators weighed in on the infamous statements as they answered the question, “Which phrase is only used by annoying people?”
Users quickly poured in their answers, and some shared additional insight into why they found the sentences bothersome
Redditors thought back to the times when their post-traumatic stress disorder started at school as they complained about the infamous saying, “Can I go to the bathroom.”
One user shared: ‘After I asked a teacher if you can go to the bathroom, ‘I don’t know, can you?’
Another added to their experience: “I once asked, ‘Can I go to the bathroom?’ not because I cared about grammar or etiquette, but because I knew this teacher would fucking try.
She replied, ‘I don’t know, CAN you?’ She did it anyway, like she was just waiting to be a deliberately ignorant ****** who couldn’t parse “Can I?”‘
Multiple Redditors weighed in on the controversial saying while being transparent about their past experiences.
“I pissed myself in the third grade when the teacher wouldn’t let me go to the toilet,” one wrote. “It wasn’t on purpose, I just had to go so fast, but she was awful and if I’d known she wouldn’t be our teacher after that, I would have done it sooner.”

The phrase brought one Redditor back to when he peed his pants at school after he couldn’t use the toilet
Others weighed in on job phrases they heard from their bosses, such as “This should be easy” and “If you don’t like it, you can leave.”
Another infamous saying repeated several times was, “Are you going to be upset if I say this?”
Psychologist Dr. Jayme Albin weighed in on the conversation and the narcissistic message behind the sentences.
“I’d say the statements are mostly annoying because they carry the underlying message of, ‘It’s all about me!'” Albin told Fox News Digital.
‘And [those who say these things] ignore the other person’s feelings. They “discount” and are self-centered – they have what I call a “narcissistic moment.”
The votes on the top aggravating statements are in. Here’s what Redditors had to say.
