Always feels lazy and disconnected to me. If you don't have anything to say that actually comes from you, stfu and don't bother me with that bullshit!

They are something that has stood the test of time! Mourning is hardly a time to summon up bright originality, for one example.....

Not important enough to warrant intense dislike. I don't pay much attention to them.

sometimes they seem to be conforting enough to live with as you know that the person giving you one is really probably doing their best to help and thats ok in itself -and some problems are pretty much unfixable so a platitude might just work - It doesnt really bother me recieving them as Iknow the person is trying their best and not fobbing me off they usually just don't know what to say.
