“So just do it” is a glaring one for me.

Simply because it is disregarding someone else’s thought processes and how their mind works. Where simply ‘just do it’ is not as easily and readily accomplished. This kind of advice is always uttered when one person is going on about how they’re tired of something and want to do something else. So this gets mentioned.

It could be a lot of reasons as to why, even if it is down to the obvious reasons. My valid reason a lot of the time is that I just don’t have the energy or will to just magically get myself to do something.

    Me - “Doctor, it hurts when I do X.” X is a perfectly normal activity like walking, raising arm over head, etc

    Doctor - “Then maybe you shouldn’t do X?”

        lol, the internet was unknown to most of the world at that time. He was just a doctor with a horrible bedside manner

        “S/He’s” takes 8 button presses to type on my keyboard. “They’re” takes 7.

        Why did you decide not to use the formal term for a person of unknown gender in the third person? Why did you put in the extra effort to be less formal?

        Yes, obviously I should not have walked as that was causing pain in my hip, like something scraping…
