Platitudes: What are some sweetly comforting things people say that are factually incorrect?

"Shit happens, mate, you gotta deal with it"

Oh REALLY? Does it really happen? This statement is the combination of Captain Obvious and Captain Hindsight.

You do realise the sheer worthlessness of saying this to a person currently in a state of "shit". What is the added value of this retrospective factuality of life? Do I have to deal with it? I AM dealing with it.

This does not help at all!

Thanks Major Obvious Hindsight.
