Answer 1

I know I also get annoyed. When I see that response, I think that maybe these people have kids that do this and are constantly told to tell their kids to behave.

Other responses I've grown tired of here in Y!A:
*Man-up
*Grow a pair
*I dunno (hate this one with flaming heat vision)

Answer 2

Well, when the problem is only a problem because the person is acting immaturely, I can understand such a response. It generally means a more mature outlook or perspective on the situation is needed.

And you do not punch someone's face in with a bat.

Answer 3

This is right up there with "Get a life". Duh-I do have a life and I dont have to prove it to anyone. Same with grow up. I'm 70 years old and I still get told to grow up. Geez-if I grow up any more,I'll be dead. Shine it on and try not to fall prey to using the phrase yourself.

Answer 4

watch you're gonna get answers that say "grow up" just to aggravate you, i have noticed this in the family and relations category ALOT, somebody can ask for friendly advice and the next thing you know,
"uhh grow up!"
"get over it!!"
its quite annoying

Answer 5

Interesting observation. I guess folks who do that instead of giving serious replies, couldn't muster up an intelligent answer anyway. It's their brain's way of warning you of the ignorance to follow.
