Been There, Done That
Can I vent for a minute?
"Been There, Done That."
I hate that phrase. That has to be the most condescending, demeaning, unhelpful phrase in the English language. It's like the phrase is somehow supposed to show empathy by the teller, but really it's thinly veiled one-upmanship that minimizes what the other person is going through.
It really irks me.
