“Life isn’t fair” used in anyway other than to explain why some people are born into wealth and some aren’t, or why some people die young or get cancer and others don’t. It’s is NOT an excuse for adults being unfair. My face turns red hot when I hear this used this way.

Why should she come up with something better? It is what it is, no need to reinvent the wheel. Let not make perfect the enemy of good enough.

Disagree on "It is what it is." I use it professionally when the point is we are stuck with the client's facts that we wish were more favorable for the conclusion the client wants us to reach. It's not apathy or refusal to think; it's stressing the importance of intellectual honesty.

You're that guy. Everyone rolls their eyes in a professional setting when it is used. It means you couldn't come up with something better to say.

"It's been a minute!" Ugh.

I hate it when people start off their sentences with "So..." As in, "So I was driving to work the other day..."

I find it chauvinistic, and it had grated on me when a narcissist coworker used it in front of me repeatedly as a jab. I know what it was meant to be, but it is actually an insanely sexist and derogatory term.

I agree!

So to ask “where you at?” Or “where’s my phone at?” is okay?

I was put off when a certain prominent person responded with this saying in response to all the covid deaths.

"Where you is?" Where my phone is"

+1. What most people get wrong (when they put a preposition at the end of a sentence) is that it is not needed:

They’ll say, “Where is the store at?” When what they should say is, “Where is the store?” Properly, you can say, “Where are you from?” Because it’s not the same as “Where are you?”

Thank you for explaining to the dumb "where's my phone at" PP.
