“Good Luck With That” or “Let Me Know How That Goes”
Nothing tightens my jaw more than someone saying one of the above things (especially to me).
Can we put them down for a nap for a little bit?
These figures of speech remind me of when you were in high school and you had an interesting or embarassing story or something and you told it to a group and the most dim-witted poorly socialized girl says “ooohkay then” , for lack of anything to add to the story and probably because her personality is terrible and she doesn’t understand anything unless its from a Jim Carrey movie and has society’s stamp of approval.
Stop being that bitchy twerp from middle school everyone.
Say “Let me know how that goes” one more time and I actually will, but i’ll come over to your apartment at 3 am on a weeknight and bang on the door wearing a clown outfit because you asked me to let you know how something went.
And good luck with that is just dastardly because its alway said insincerely. Ok, wait until you are having a surgery or something heavy falls on top of you and i’ll be like “good luck with that”.
Let me know how that goes.

I hate when people say things insincerely in general but while reading your post, I remembered times when people said those things to me and I got really annoyed. To add to your list: TMI-too much information. I think it’s just really rude to say and shows me how much a person is stuffy and can’t handle reality. That’s it.

I love that “scrotum” is one of your tags to this post.

Hah, or “you do that”<– that one’s a little obsolete, but it kinda goes along with “let me know how that goes,” depending on the tone.
