Expressions I Hate

These expressions should be avoided because they're cliches, but they're also particularly annoying just in terms of the kind of worldview they represent:
  • "Everything happens for a reason."
  • "God only gives us what we can handle."
  • "What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger."
  • "Absence makes the heart grow fonder."
  • "True love never dies."
  • OK, now you give me yours ...

Oops. I use #1 too much.

Husband uses #3 constantly - I want to slap him and see if it makes him stronger.
