Am I just old & miserable or are other people sick of these trends?

That bloody Jet2 advert audio being used on basically every single video I come across and people acting like it’s hilarious.

That mushroomed head guy with his turkey teeth gurning all over the internet

Women doing the challenge where they balance cross legged in high heels on a fucking tin of beans, some of whom using NEW BORN BABIES like they’re fucking kettle bells for a bunch of likes.

In case it’s not clear, I’m in somewhat of an arse today and these things seem fair game for my anger.

feel free to share the other stupid things you’re sick of.

Thankfully I have no idea what you are talking about.

me either.

There have always been trends that annoy adults! I'm sure some of us have parents who were complaining about pogs and beanie babies.

The videos you see on social media are based on algorithms. If you stop watching stupid videos it will stop showing them. Do a few searches on what your interested in and watch them, you will then be flooded with videos in line with that. Or just don't watch videos on social media.

Ooh the tapping of nails on every object they touch and having sleeves pulled down over their fingers! And the over consumption of products (buying multiples for aesthetic purposes for example), decantering absolutely everything that I'm sure makes things go off quicker argh

Whoever wrote that song or owns the rights must be coining it.

Bloody Jet2 adverts all over youtube as well.
But it’s still better than the bbc!

UsingAMansNameInAWomensWorld · 10/08/2025 20:41

I thought I was chronically online but I have no idea what you are on about 🤣

MistressoftheDarkSide · 10/08/2025 20:36

I only really do YouTube and what really gets me is every bloody advert pushing AI , even when I'm watching videos exploring the dangers of AI.....

DaisyChain505 · 10/08/2025 20:32

I have no idea what you’re on about and I use Instagram. (Not sure if you’re on about Tik tok)

If you’re not happy with what you see click on “see less of this” and stop looking at crap.

Better yet stay off the apps.

MyDeftHedgehog · 10/08/2025 20:29

I hear you OP
Grown adults doing stupid things for "likes" just makes me want to vomm.
Me? I just spend my time watching videos of babies farting 😆😆

Jet 2 advert jingle is infuriating. Took a Jet 3 flight for the first and last time ever last year. At various intervals on the flight they played the jingle to announce what they were selling, announce the drinks & meals, announce it was seatbelt & even the safety demo. Air stewards hardly had the need to communicate with passengers. It drove me mad, think we'll be going with TUI nect time. DD says they weren't subjected to any annoying advert tunes through the flight

I suggest getting off TikTok.

but I don't 'do' SM, I value my sanity

If the girl on the dating site had just answered 'just one baby daddy', it would have saved me weeks of that earworm song.

Katemax82 · 10/08/2025 20:22

People who lips sync to songs really piss me off

DollydaydreamTheThird · 10/08/2025 20:22

You need to delete social media, tik tok etc you'll be so much happier OP! I am. What you said in your OP sounds like gobbledygook to me but I deleted it all so I'm clueless but ignorant in bliss. 😁

Minecroft · 10/08/2025 20:22

I’ve not seen or heard any of these?! Where are you seeing this. If TikTok then that would explain why I haven’t seen them.

Sunaquarius · 10/08/2025 20:21

Yes my first thought was getting off the Internet, it's a toxic place and a false version of life.

I use the internet obviously but if it's ever getting to a point where it's getting under my skin, I know I'm spending too much time on the Internet.

The mushroom-headed guy aka the Ibiza Final Boss's 48 hours of fame is about to expire, to be replaced by the next one.

Poor lad thinks he’s about to become a huge influencer. Which he may for two weeks. Once the season ends, so will his!

The algorithm is sending it to you because it knows you’ll watch. Maybe time for an online detox!

Bambamhoohoo · 10/08/2025 20:15

It’s just stuff that goes viral for a short period. You really don’t have to participate in it, it’s not even for you

Doingtheboxerbeat · 10/08/2025 20:13

The fact that I know of the jet 2 holiday sound and the acorn with sunglasses are solid proof that I am chronically online and I really need to do something about that . I'm 53 FFS, I have actual things to do.

nellietheellie75 · 10/08/2025 20:13

I know none of what you are talking about, and I'm on line too much to admit to
