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.

Sorry, not the faintest idea what any of those are. Just stop scrolling on Tiktok or whatever it is?

at the beach today, 6 different women, not from same group or anything... gold chains around their waists.. one woman was very fit, model type, 3 average size, 2 much larger. All of them looked beautiful and confident in their bikinis.. but then these huge chains? why? I doubt they were real gold and diamonds lol..and salt water?? wtf? Plus, I rarely wear a necklace or bracelet because it is sooooo hot here and they (real gold) aggravate me with sweatyness.. is that a word. God I am a miserable old woman now

I haven't seen any of these.

Let me guess though: TikTok?

I don't know the ads you are talking about but I heard about the stiletto challenge yesterday because of news about a woman who had recently given birth trying it and breaking her back. I had absolutely no sympathy for her but total sadness for her wee baby who should have been the most important thing in.the world to her but obviously came a clear second to " likes" on the Internet.

It's a sad sad world we live in.

I spend hours a day online and have (thankfully!) literally never seen any of these things

Sidebeforeself · 10/08/2025 19:20

Thankfully I have no idea what you are talking about.

I’d say go touch some grass, but it’s probably out of date by now.

People use the sounds or the latest trending person to boost their own views. In a day or two it will be something else.

I can’t stand the Ibiza lad though. He’s a fucking helmet.

LeonardoAcropolis · 10/08/2025 19:19

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.

Inane crap that appeals to people with small brains.

JamesMacGill · 10/08/2025 19:15

The high heel trend is pure fucking insanity. Risking falling on your newborn for internet clicks. Brainless fuckwits.

TonTonMacoute · 10/08/2025 19:15

Switch off the Internet, it's not hard.

ShiftingSand · 10/08/2025 19:14

Not sure about the first two but the high heels one is ridiculous and I had no words when I saw it. With everything going on in the world it’s astounding that people actually do this😞
Holiday ads really wind me up though😂

You've spent too long staring at the internet. And the internet is shit. Read a book or go for a walk. It's a lovely evening.
