Maybe that's why I dislike it...the first time I heard it used (and used over and over) was when we were having a deck built in NY. The contractor kept using it and it drove me nuts. Then I heard my cousin use it in a not so nice way.

Right!  Like the contractor - you want to say NO - it isn't what it is, FIX IT!  I've found it offensive at times and used when people want you to go away and not pursue what you'd like different.   A few people told me that about my shoulder "it is what it is"....  Now, really?  If I had listened and not pursued I wouldn't be where I am now so much better.   I can see where it's meant in a Zen/yoga type of meaning of acceptance, but it's usually not used that way in my experience.

(Now WHY did I put that saying here?????)

It's a widely used saying, that's why you included it. I'm sure lots of people use it and like it, but it's just not one of my favorites. And why would someone say that about your shoulder? That's rude!
