What popular phrase can you not stand?

You know, I always liked phrases and such. "What's yer poison?, tough cookies, water under the bridge," etc etc.

But you know, I really can't stand the phrase (or variations of) "I'm so sorry for your loss". Why is the person sorry? And who are they REALLY sorry for? It seems so selfish to say. And then people have the audacity to say something like; "call me anytime if you ever need anything". If I called a person up 2 or 3 years down the line… would that offer still stand? Unlikely. Or what if I asked for a long term thing? Like a place to stay? Yeah I didn't think so.

When I hear somebody losses somebody close, I will do whatever I can to not say that phrase, because it sounds so patronizing to myself.

What do you want?
