It's a false modesty, to avoid agreeing that you did something special.I get how it's used, but it feels phony.
I appreciate you passive aggressive narcissism, instead of just saying thank you so I can say youre welcome now I have to be thankful that you appreciate me get that corn out of my faceI agree with this one somewhat, but I guess it depends on the context. If you don't have something that's actively deserving of thanks, appreciate definitely makes sense to me.

Have time, will travel.
Bless your heart.
And how!
"You can't have your cake and eat it too" never sat right with me. What's the point in having cake if you can't eat it?This has also been a big one for me. Even when I was little, I knew the expression simply just didn't make sense.
I eventually learned that the original saying was, "You can't eat your cake and have it too", which makes a lot more sense and gets the message across better. I have no idea why it was changed.
"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" what the FUCK are you talking aboutBesser ein Spatz in der Hand als eine Taube auf dem Dach
Besser ein Spatz in der Hand als eine Taube auf dem Dachthis one is also dumb and insane why does every language have crazy people who try to grab birds
This has also been a big one for me. Even when I was little, I knew the expression simply just didn't make sense.Both make sense.
That being said, the original saying DOES make more sense. It not being used that way anymore is weird, >.<
"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" what the FUCK are you talking aboutIt isn't about birds.
"a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" what the FUCK are you talking about
Both make sense.Well, I'll put it a different way. The expression more commonly used today didn't make sense to me because the meaning wasn't explicit; I always took it as "here's your cake, but you can't enjoy it". It's not until seeing the original meaning that I can get the intended meaning for how it's used now.
You can't have your cake and eat it too because if you eat your cake, you no longer have your cake.
The original saying carries the meaning more front loaded though.

I hate Show up and how its used in a therapy / clinical way.
like you need to show up for your child
Just a cringy way of saying care more and give a shit.
Both make sense.Lol exactly. There's absolutely no difference in either saying, so why they'd be confused by one and not the other is beyond me.

"With a collective experience of over 500 years in the ______ industry..."I didn't realize how much beef I had with this sentence until you typed it out.
Shut. The. Fuck. Up.
"The customer is always right"
No you idiot you're wrong, and saying this won't change the price and/or stock levels

It's a false modesty, to avoid agreeing that you did something special.It's also said so that the person receiving help doesn't feel bad because the other has had to make an effort, alter their plans, or whatever.
Yeah, went into this topic to talk about the cake too.
If I want to have some cake, I want it so I can eat it. I'm not going to put it on a pedestal so I can watch it in admiration.
Ha, yeah, that would have been my alternative to bring up.You can have your cake.
Like...why can't I have my cate and eat it too? Isn't that the whole point of getting a cake? To eat it?
You can have your cake.
You can eat your cake.
But you can't do both: once you have eaten your cake, you no longer have it.
State 1: You buy a cake. You now have 1 cake. You now have eaten 0 cake.
State 2: You eat a cake. You now have 0 cake. You now have eaten 1 cake.
But I can only eat my cake because I had it. [past tense].Fixed.
No cake = No eating of cake
There can't be an effect without a cause.
But if you eat your cake, you can no longer have that cake. The cake is gone.
You can't have a cake and eat a cake simultaneously.

Well yes, but that is the state of all food. This expression is just basically "this is how having food works".
Also, you could eat only a portion of said cake. If I only eat half of the cake and leave the rest to rot, then I've both eaten the cake and retained the cake.
