Modern trends that annoy you

[saganorenscarandcoat]

Following on from the modern dining trends that annoy you what general modern stuff annoys you?

Mine are:

People taking selfies in toilets

Being asked for my email address at a till

Wasteful plastic tat in the shops

What really confuses me is women with thick black painted arcs instead of eyebrows? What's going on there?

I hate the obsession with people's houses having to look like show homes all the time ( maybe that's an Essex thing too!) Each to their own though I suppose

Oh I agree with this...was gonna post about it anyway. It's not just an Essex thing...it's everywhere. Everyone seems to have to live in ridiculously immaculate homes in a sea of grey and white without a single thing out of place.

I have a perfectly normal nice enough house but I feel like I live in a shack by comparison.

Selfies
Having to take photos of everything
Holding up phones at events or gigs to record, when will they even watch it back?
Social media Photos

I hate photos and phones.

Snapchat filters on grown (women usually).
Teenage (girls again usually) looking far too pouty & scarily older than their years on social media
Grey interiors - velvet grey materials, grey on grey. I quite like grey but the grey overload puts me off buying anything grey
Plus most of the things mentioned above

I don't get the obsession with Zoflora.

Always had a bottle of under the sink for emergency cleans on hard floors to disinfect.

It is a chemical cleaner not some fucking wonder product to used at every opportunity.

Since when did cleaning become a 'thing'?
Fucking ridiculous!

Selfies group selfies selfies with randoms just selfies really. I'm not keen on reality stars either I don't understand famous for being famous.

The worst for me is people taking photos on their phones in art galleries. As I experienced the last time I visited the Louvre. Being elbowed by hordes of tourists fighting to photograph the Venus de Milo kind of ruined the moment a bit. Why would you visit and not actually look at the art, just photograph it? You could just stay home and google image all the art!

Starting sentences with 'so'.

The normalisation of pornography. The new sexual normal associated with it. And young women who defend it because they just don't know that men didn't ask for that kind of stuff as a general rule before internet porn enabled them.

Identity politics.

Biological males insisting they are women and everyone must agree with them.

Being 'Instagram famous'

Totally agree with the email at the til! I just ask for a paper one 🤣

Mum bloggers, I mean some are funny and then a thousand more jump on the band wagon, hope that's not too harsh! I love my kids but not everyone wants to know what they are for breakfast!

Contouring, a lot of girls forget to blend and have massive brown lines on their faces 🤦🏻‍♀️

Social media and the rampant self-obsession, virtue-signalling and narcissism it creates.

Christmas and the rampant greed, waste and consumerism it creates.

People using American words when there are perfectly good British ones. Eg pissed instead of pissed off, butt instead of bum, ass instead of arse. And American pronunciations, AmaZON instead of Amazn, that sort of thing. Winds me up no end.

And everything having to be amazing.

Oh and "can I get...". No you bloody can't. You can have it, you can't go and get it yourself. Grrrrr.

People having their head up their arse and generally having no common decency anymore.

I use a walking stick, without it I fall over. Just this evening, nipped into a supermarket for a small basket of shopping with my husband, people have swung their trolley into me, knocked my walking stick out of the way, rammed past me and knocked me over to get to the reduced bread. FFS, have a thought in your head about other people, just for one moment! Same goes for mindless idiots with their eyes glued to their phone walking down the pavement into me... how dare I not be able to leap out of the way because you’re too engrossed in YouTube

Not having straws. Sorry but I can more about my teeth than the environment.

Buy yourself a metal straw them and carry it in your handbag. FFS.

all grey decor

Coca-Cola truck, it's insidious marketing to kids who turn into adults that neck cola and associate with Christmas then drag their kids to see the truck and so the cycle continues

Petty drivers

Naff tattoos, someone at work has princess tattooed on the back of her neck i just can't take her seriously

Slimming world, the diets fricken awful

People buying designer dogs (flat face breeds) people keep buying so people keep breeding these dogs that are deformed

Yes to Slimming World. The fans of it on instagram posting plates of massive plates of beige food ' check out me dins 6 sins hun' .

Men in drainpipe trousers and pointy toe shoes looking like fucking elves.
Beard oil
Loving your beard so much it's like your fucking pet
Tattoos of icky butterflies
Piercing in weird places like your arm ( why) or your jacksy (ow)
Strobing
False eyelashes

People saying, "I know, right?"

Mobile phones and teenagers
Went to ball last week and looked at the teenagers tables and they were all on their phone, even when dancing! Live life for real not through a phone
Never understood the cola lorry. Why would you want to go and see a lorry with advertising on the side. Just odd

I agree about the trousers, MsLexic. In future decades, people will look back at the 2010s and laugh at men wearing clothes two sizes too small for them, just as we laugh at 70s bell-bottom flares.

Social media virtue signalling

People with no discernible talent being paid to live their lives on reality tv eg the Kardashians/Katie Price etc

Women having so much Botox/lip fillers/rhinoplasty that they all look like plastic caricatures

Hyperbole. Everything is 'amazing' or people are 'devastated' all the time.

Women who look like drag queens due to their overdone makeup.

Tiny, yappy dogs who are clearly deranged due to inbreeding.

Christmas.

Adults behaving like children and who are immature and avoid responsibility.

People who lack character and who can't deal with even slightly challenging stuff.

People who are rude, entitled, aggressive and impatient.

Wandering around with coffee, when actually it barely contains coffee and is a cup of sugary shit.

@Racecardriver so buy some reusable straws?
