"I'm sorry that happened to you"

I try to tolerate it, but sentences like that annoy me. :?

Example: something bad happens to you and someone says "I'm sorry that happened to you".

No not really...no one has ever said that to me so i wouldn't know though...

Why exactly?

It's Kind of annoying. It's a nonchalant way of saying "Oh, That's Too Bad buddy, Now suck it up". :P

*throws flour in his face*

I'm sorry you feel sorry that your sorry i feel sorry it happened to you...:P

I have no problem hearing it, but I usually try to avoid saying something so cliche.

I don't like those kinds of sentences because

1. I know you're sorry

2. Don't remind me of said thing that you're sorry for

yes,It annoys me, and it also annoys me when people say "Tell (insert name here) that I said hi."

[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"][QUOTE="SoraX64"] I'm sorry that you feel sorry that I feel sorry, because I happened to me. :P

I'm sorry you feel sorry that your sorry i feel sorry it happened to you...:P

Does not bother me. If the person wished that didn't happen to you then OK.

Not really. People don't tend to say that to me.

It depends. With some people, you know they're being sincere. It's a less robotic way of saying, "I feel empathetic towards you right now." Sometimes there's nothing else to say.

ghoklebutter

really?

how so.

I have empathy as well as sympathy to offer and that give me plenty of reason to say "sorry".

although it is often easier to offer condolences than it is to receive them.

Is that what bothers you?

It really just depends on the tone of the person saying it to me. If I decide to relate a bad situation I recently experienced to someone, I am kind of putting them on the spot for a response. If they say nothing, it could easily be interpreted as "I don't care". If they say "I am sorry that happened to you" sincerely, that's as much as I can expect. If the tone indicates sarcasm or some kind of happiness at the incident, that's when it could annoy me.

It's certainly better than telling people to "suck it up."

There are certain social graces to life in society. People aren't insulting you, they are just trying to give you some sympathy. =D

No, I hate it when people make a big deal when you say it I guess they expect you to come up with a speech on why they are so misfortune. A friend of mine told me someone in his family had cancer, I said sorry to hear that, and the douche replies "no your not" .

I'm more annoyed when I tell someone I'm sorry about something and they say "No you're not." :|.

1. I know you're sorry

2. Don't remind me of said thing that you're sorry for

In most cases people say it when someone tells them about something wrong, so usually the sad person chose to remember it and share.

Noo... Why should they? :?

I always thought it was weird to say "Im Sorry" or someone telling you that because obviously it wasn't their fault, but I say it before I really know what to say as just a kind gesture, let them know you care more than anything

I find that sentence rather annoying because unless "it" happend to them then they really aren't sorry. The sentence is just kinda a lie.
