"Congrats want a cookie?" is such a dumb and cop out response to anything, amirite?

I prefer the "They don't make medals for that" response.

I like "well pin a rose on your nose". Mostly cause it rhymes. I don't use it very often. Only for certain people at specific times.

I haven't heard this phrase in 10 years. Where is it used now? Also does anyone like this phrase? Pretty sure it is popular to think it is dumb. Are there people who hear this and go, damn you are funny my accompishment is mediocre?

It's annoyingly prevalent where I'm from in the US midwest. I only really ever hear middle aged people say it

I mean sometimes it's really deserved. If someone told me they did hard work by passing 2nd grade math last year as a 20 year old damn straight I'm using that. If someone says they did something that's in the bare minimum of their job description it's also deserved. A cashier getting butthurt because I didn't congratulate them on giving me the correct change is 100% justified in me using that saying

>If someone says they did something that's in the bare minimum of their job description it's also deserved. The absolute perfect example of proper usage for this right here.

A good way to not have to deal with people saying this to you is to to not brag.

Yes actually, peanut butter if ya got ‘em.

It's a great response! Someone comes up to you and tells you they actually did their job, like a child telling their mommy, heck yes I'm saying it! Its better then what ppl really want to say and not even remotely as cruel. I'm not your manager, mom or partner and I don't have cookies, be prepared for disappointment.

Depends on the context. You could always say "ok" and not be rude. I don't know why you need to try to be a smartass if someone is giving you information that may or may not benefit you.

Yes exactly my point. Responding with "ok" or "cool" will get your point across and will more effectively shut them down since you're not giving them any attention at all with it.

Very true. I was referring to the situations where you're not their boss, not working in their area and they come up to you on your break just to interrupt your conversation to tell ya yet again. Oddly specific, I know, but happens way too often.

For real lol. Why are you telling me? It's not my fault you didn't get enough attention as a child and need validation as an adult.

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I've mainly seen this type of response used when a lazy person does the bear minimum, and expects enormous gratitude/a pat on the back for it. Like a kid thinking they deserve a reward from their family for cleaning their room.

It's one of those overused phrases that a mental midget thinks is clever because the internet told them so. It's about as bad as "I was today years old when I learned..." or "tomorrow is not promised".

Most times people will say this to someone who's being pretentious or trying to brag about something. Maybe you'd benefit from doing a little self reflecting?

by Anonymous 1 year ago

I haven't had it said to me since childhood. I've just been hearing it more than usual lately from conversations around me. Since I only heard it as a kid I connect it to being a very childish response. The best way to deal with an irritating pretentious person imo is to give them the bare minimum by saying nothing at all, a quick "mhm", or "cool"
