I’ve reached the point of feeling a totally irrational surge of rage whenever I see them which is every damn day…

“I was today years old when”

“POV”

“That feeling when”

Anything that is referred to as a “hack”.

Calling an outfit a “fit”

those long/cheesy/cringe quotes attributed to people that definitely didn't say them

and long cheesy quotes in general

Cattery · 12/06/2024 08:57

“And just like that”
Love of my life (so was the previous bloke)
Vibes
Best ever night with ‘this one’
Literally (go and look up the meaning; ditto ‘obsessed’)

Happybunnymum · 12/06/2024 08:57

It’s a Game changer <insert cringe emoji>

Boogily · 12/06/2024 08:56

'get ready with me'

Rockschooldropout · 12/06/2024 08:56

This thread .. you are my people !
(another saying I hate but I have found my people )

I hate social media , however I run a business that relies on a social media presence , every saying posted so far grinds my gears …and after two seconds of scrolling I I want to shout at my phone !

Elphame · 12/06/2024 08:54

"I just wanted to introduce myself and post a picture"

It's infiltrating so many groups now and I hate it. I immediately hate anyone who does this!

Starlight1979 · 12/06/2024 08:51

"It's giving"

Arrrgggghhhhh!!!

RustyBear · 12/06/2024 08:50

"If only there was a page dedicated to xyz..." when xyz is everywhere on Instagram.

VoteForBunnies · 12/06/2024 08:49

What if I told you....

Beachballplayer · 12/06/2024 08:48

The word ick!!!

Loubelle70 · 12/06/2024 08:48

PartyPartyYeah · 12/06/2024 03:11

Nom nom nom
I absolutely hate it!

Same!!! Its not cute or endearing...stop it.
Agreeing with others:
'literally' when its figuratively.
'cheeky' then followed with 'dont mind if i do' , 'a cheeky pint? Dont mind if i do "ugh no sense.
'Dance like no one is watching' quote.

So many more lol...one of the reasons I've been off SM for years..

People who post on their stories . Correct me if I'm wrong but is this the way you can see who has looked at your post? Whereas timeline you can't see? Smacks of the self obsessed.

Are you one of those that always views stories without fail but never ever likes posts? 🤣 you’re just as bad

Projectme · 12/06/2024 08:43

GoodVibesHere · 12/06/2024 03:01

'So this happened'

'A cheeky coffee'

and why does it have to be a 'cheeky Nando's'?!? Why can't it just be 'Nando's'?? 😬

Maybe they have no children, what age are people allowed to do this in your judgement

Show quote history

Yeh I found this one judgy & bitter too. Women can wear what they like at whatever age imo and should be able to go out on the town without this ageism! This thread was about sm sayings not how people live their life.

Combattingthemoaners · 12/06/2024 08:42

YouTubers saying something happened naturally as “organically” makes me want to claw my eyes out. Yeah it just happened so organically.

Offcom · 12/06/2024 08:41

Highlighta · 12/06/2024 06:06

The run don't walk annoys me way more than it should.

The other one... 'I'm obsessed'. Arghh

Not a saying but why, when reviewing or showing off some product, do they put the thing right in front of the camera and twist it side to side. Mostly tapping it too.

I have decided to only watch animal clips. They are not as annoying as watching some person squirt foundation directly onto the side of their face while telling everyone, 'so this just happened'

Argh, I hate this too! I call it the “product waggle”

I've found my people...a phrase I hate but it applies to this thread.

’Are you me?’ Equally absurd and annoying.

notgettinganyyounger · 12/06/2024 08:29

...is feeling worried at a and e

What's wrong hun

Pm me babe

oh god yes, this. My cousin did this on her FB with numerous hashtags 😤. I deleted her from my 'friends' list as a consequence. Turns out she was in A&E having ripped off 3 of her fake nails that she'd had done that day playing volleyball. 😑

Another one is where a friend of mine (on FB) has her husband tag her in photos/posts and he titles it with things like 'on holibobs with this one' or 'taking this one to see Take That'. I just want to vomit with the 'this one'. No mate, that is your WIFE!!

TellingBone · 12/06/2024 08:38

Not me agreeing with everything here. I stan for these posts. They're INSANE.

Appalonia · 12/06/2024 08:37

"Let that sink in"

you see that a lot on Twitter, when someone has posted something they think is exceptionally profound or shocking. So annoying!

Also calling something " fire" ( i.e. great )

CantDealwithChristmas · 12/06/2024 08:18

I hate the faux wise inspirational ones. Some I've seen recently that set my bile duct quivering:

"It's OK if all you did today was breathe"

"If a person or thing is no longer serving you, cut them out of your life"

"It's not your fault. It's the trauma of living under hypercapitalism"

"The only person you owe anything to is YOU"

I have no idea what sort of benighted, empty soul you would need to take such patently wrong aphorisms seriously but I do know that they're an excellent how-to for a pointless, loveless, lonely life.

"If a person or thing is no longer serving you, cut them out of your life”

Yeh this in particular. Not everything and everyone is there to “serve” you!! Agh the self obsession & entitlement!! Also when people say “be the main character “ or “main character vibes” 🤮🤮🤮

AnCùDubh · 12/06/2024 08:34

A new annoyance for me is "casted" as a past tense rather than "cast".

CherryogDog · 12/06/2024 08:32

When an argument kicks off and someone gives their opinion, then says "I rest my case".

Greengrapeofhome · 12/06/2024 08:30
