QUOTES YOU HATE!! | ADHD Information
Hello all,I've been noticing that there are some famous quotes that drive me bananas! For example: someone at work said something like:
"You are what you do!" I hate that!
Any sayings you all find really aggravating, because they go against your adhd'ness??
Like,
sensible sayings like
"early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise!" (cringe)
When in Rome do as the Romans do
I don't know about any famous ones but my mum has quotes that irritate me often enough.
"You live in this world, conform to this world"
"I could put you in a room with nothing else in there and you still wouldn't get done what you've been asked to do"
Who do you think you are, Miss Aster?A penny saved is a penny earned. huh? more like a penny saved is a tiny step towards your goal of having a savings.
you can't have the cake and eat it too...
i never understood why you would want a cake if you can't eat it...
so that quote really bugged me.. and still continues too..
i'm angry just thinking about it!!!
Who is Miss Aster? is that like Disaster personfied? And female-ized? That would be cool if Dis was a acommon first name!
Dis Aster....
Anyway
Unfortunately Dis is not a common first name, so it must be way past my bedtime!
"There's no "I" in team" - boy I can't stand that gem!!
Saw a good cartoon in the comics section a day or so ago - one guy says that - and another replies - "well - there's no "u" in work either!!"
Well - it was funny when I read it.
Ah never mind -.
Going stir crazy - four more days and I get mah Televiziun back! Yippeee!!
I like this one:
"A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out" -Unknown
Argh I hate the "no I in team" thing. I always answer "but there's an M and an E"
Wish people would just let me do what i'm good at.
I hate any quote that's along the lines of "If you work hard enough, you can do anything you set your mind to". What a load of crap. Someone artistically inclined, with little math ability isn't going to be able to do quantum potentiality equations in 4th year university math. Or make a million dollars just by working hard at mcdonalds. Success isn't about hard work, it's about seeing opportunities and taking them.
I actually LIKE that one zorg too.
Here's one I made
"Laugh and the world laughs with you - cry - and I'll give you something to cry about mister!!"
"I know what I believe, and I will continue to articulate what I believe, what I believe, I believe what I believe is right!"-George W. Bush
In true Office Space fashion, I hate any references to having a "case of the Monday's" :)
Dubbya must hate when the battery pack to his hidden earpiece dies like that! LOL - what a maroon!
Not a quote but I hate "Whatever!" when said to ME but love to say it to others.
"There's an old saying in Tennessee I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee that says, fool me once, shame on shame on you. Fool me you can't get fooled again."
Our most favoritest president ever! 
Can't remember the entire context of this one, but he was speaking to the head of another country:
"You have blacks, too?"
Another quote from the C in C.
"Too many good docs are getting out of the business. Too many OB-GYNs aren't able to practice their love with women all across this country."
One of my favorites! I actually witnessed this one live, couldn't believe my ears!
LOL - it's why other countries are so wary of americans - that George W. can carry on that ignorance like many of his social status. I remember firefighting long ago - and this guy from Chicago was up illegally on the line trying to make some money. He actually asked me during a break "so - you folks have colored people up here?". I was stunned - took a while to know if I should speak. I said "yeah - every shade of them - just like the US". He was surprised at that - and I at him.
Every time George opens his mouth it brings new amazement. Got that from Dan Quayle too.
[QUOTE=HeidiMarie]Classic! I love it!

[/QUOTE]
Wasn't that a comment he made to the heae of a South American country? He should be required to wear a dunce cap at all times just so everyone's clear on what's up.
one more I hate:
If it was a snake, it would've bit you!!
Now my FAVORITE one... yep, I made this one up
Marriage is a mental institution: it takes two "committed" people..
Gotta love it
Sorry Miss Frizzle, The Titanic was way before The Magic School Bus
Brooklea was right, I was referring to myself. John & Madeline Aster were the wealthiest people on the Titanic. Worth about 87 million. Mrs. Aster was a pregnant and beautiful teenager. John Aster died on the Titanic, while Mrs. Aster lived to inherit his millions and spon another wealthy millionaire player
Apparently when I was younger, I would give the impression of thinking a little too highly of myself, so my mom, sister and cousins would always say And who do ya think you are, Miss Aster?
Gees, I hated that!
she is Miss Aster? You are all disorienting me! I feel very confused. I thought that Miss Aster was some kind of pop culture icon I missed somehow...like not knowing who Michael Jackson is.... I was almost embarrassed for asking! i think cg was referring to herself...
you asked about quotes...
she probably hates ppl constantly pulling her up on something...
Pulling her up on something?
Now I am even more confused!
its ok miss frizzle...
But I'm STARVING!!!! sorry miss frizzle, repairman doesn't do dinner
ohhh they are ready to shoot the dude on midnight express.. they found the drugs...
not good... some however can only fantasise about being in a turkish prison...
Dearest Miss Aster,
I did not know if my brain should slow down or move faster.
I went to a doc, he suggested I eat plaster
three times daily. When that did not work,
He scooped out my brain, replaced it with alabaster,
and so now I'm dumb! Very Easily confused!
All this confusion causes communication disaster,
I misunderstood you! Things could have gotten worse!
Escalated! Luckily, Miss Brookely here, superheroine! came to the rescue!
i'm glad that you can acknowledge greatness miss frizzle...
If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen! Who says I wasn't trying to put out the (dinner) fire!!!
another late night in the barn repairman???poor miss frizzle was asking a very serious question... obviously something that means a great deal to her and there you go and trivialise it...
you owe miss frizzle an apology!!!
she might even have a nice ram for you
My quote that I heard daily from my mother,
" You'd lose your head if it wasn't nailed on!"
Still hate that one.. Most likely because it had a grain of truth to it...
Sherry
sherry, lets get into the semantics of that...is your head really nailed on??
mmmmm
i feel like ali g right now
Wellllll.... it IS attached somehow
I just got this wierd visual...
running off to school and my poor head yelling, WAIT wait!! you need me to see!!
but then again, my head would have my ears.. so I wouldnt hear myself calling out to come back and get my head... hmmm
Geez... where's my metadate?? I think its time to take them
Sherry
Most despised quote: "Just do it."
