Phrases I Detest

I am an opinionated woman and there are some phrases I just detest. I disagree with them or think they are stupid. I started pondering these phrases as I was driving home. The fifteen minutes I spend driving each way is my thinkin' time. Hmm, guess I don't think very much.
I'll ponder that on my next drive in to work--Tuesday--yea for three day week-ends. Anyway, here's the list of phrases I detest.

1. It's all good. No it isn't. Some things are, in fact, bad.

2. It is what it is. Yes things are what they are---what's your point?

3. Everything happens for a reason. No it doesn't. Perhaps you are confusing the scripture about all things working together for good for them that love the Lord and who have been called according to his purpose. That's not the same as every single thing having a reason.

4. Have a nice day. Having a nice day is the convergence of many different factors, some of them out of my control. Certainly these factors are outside the control of the clerk at McDonald's.

OK, remind me not to use those phrases around you (or the virtual you)!

I personally hate it when the check out cashier asks "Did you find every thing you needed today?". You know, if I didn't, what are you going to do about it?

Well, It is what it is and you have a nice day.
