Re: Sayings you hate

*shrug* I think best when people say this generally means "best you could at the time considering", not some Platonic ideal of "best". Besides, it's just something to make people feel better to stop them beating themselves up and telling themselves they suck and were just lazy and bad, especially perfectionist types, along with the "you tried really hard". I get that it won't work for all personalities, like a lot of sayings really.

ETA: I guess I mean that if someone says this to someone who didn't do as well as they wanted, that's what they might be thinking, not "you're only THIS good".

Also, thinking about it, "you tried your best" in an academic context is less likely to come off as consoling, as opposed to something messier like interpersonal conflict resolution.
