How much alcohol other people drink
Hen do's
Fancy cars. It's 4 fucking wheels and a seat, why does it cost the same as my first house?
MAC or urban decay make up.
Ditto Kardashians
Infant formula milk being on offer. I'm in breastfeeding groups that treat a yellow-stickered tin of formula like the crime of the century

formerbabe · 11/09/2018 22:32

Speed cameras...other drivers seem outraged they exist. I don't care...easy not to get caught...don't speed.

Timeisslippingaway · 11/09/2018 22:33

Talking on the phone to anyone at all.
Talking to other parents in the playground
Meeting people you know in the shops/street or anywhere.

I do like people I just don't want to talk to them unless I arrange it before hand, is that strange? I've never thought about that until just now Confused

Katie Price's love life. How is that front page news?

TOWIE/Made in Chelsea/Love Island/X Factor

Game updates on Facebook, e.g. FarmVille.
Which of my Facebook friends has liked a random product e.g. Mars bars or Persil washing powder.
Cars
Most sport
Hair care products
I tried watching the Kardashians once. It just showed one of them clothes shopping and whinging in the back of a car. I would have liked to find out what all the fuss was about, but I couldn't stick with it.

District

Timeisslippingaway · 11/09/2018 22:38

Gender reveals for baby's. No one cares what your baby is going to be except you and maybe your immediate family, stop posting it on social media or anywhere else!

Anything made by Apple

Cattenberg · 11/09/2018 22:46

I forgot gadgets. I don't care what phone I have as long as it has a long battery life. I disabled the internet on mine as it was expensive. I don't have much electronic stuff and I keep forgetting to charge what I do have.

howardmoonseyebrow · 12/09/2018 09:38

The woman with no children of her own with her in softplay today who had her friends child permantly attached to her knee taking selfies with him every 2 mins. Done up like a bloody Kardashian! Yes, we get it love you fancy yourself a bit but put the child down and let him play. No one cares how many sets of eyelashes you have on or how good a pout you can do, it's bloody sofyplay

Undercoverbanana. I laughed at your remark 'Umbrellas and I have history'! My late DDad used to say 'Umbrellas are the invention of the devil'. I think he had a point.

GallicosCats · 12/09/2018 16:26

Most of it's been said but Strictly/Bake Off/CBB/I'm A Celebrity (you really aren't) or anything at all where the main draw is the celebrities, like Heat and Chat and similar.

I like good food but can't be bothered with cheffy pretensions like foam and edible sand and the sort of sauce, sorry jus, that is really just edible plate paint. Similarly, tasting notes on wine. It's wine, not chocolate or plums or petrol (!!)
