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

Oh oh...bloody self-service checkouts. Despise them. Some shops have barely any staff and just make people use those things.

Oh yes, so many of these give me the rage...

Ubiquitous unicorn tat.

I love gin and prosecco but hate the shite bandwagon gin and prosecco tat...'Gin o clock' T-shirt's...just fuck offffff

Ridiculous eyebrows.

Contouring.

That bloody Instagram selfie with big, Bambi eyes and flower headband. That's not what you actually LOOK LIKE!!

Anyone who adds pointless, inane hashtags or comments like 'living my best life' or 'blessed'

The lack of pubes.

I hate this new trend of just saying 'same' if you agree with someone. I can't even explain why it annoys me, it just does.

Its ok to say no about email addresses at tills.

Absolutely everything having to be 'inclusive'.

Phrases

‘Me thinks’
‘Just saying...’
‘That is all’

@Avegemitesandwich what’s wrong with being inclusive?

Personal trainers.

'Everyday feminism' being stealthily taken over by misogynists who have convinced women they are a commodity and that it is 'empowering' to be a sex worker/take naked pictures/pump your body full of shit.

'Empowering women' as a phrase...condescending bullshit.

#blessed - fuck off.

Self-ID - I dye my hair blonde but I'm still a brunette.

Identity politics

Snapchat bunny ears/dog noses/butterflies and similar shit on photos. Especially adults.

The pout.

The pose of one leg locked straight and the other bent at the knee. Usually with the pout. And then fucking bunt wars added.

Younique huns that post a selfie every single fucking day boasting how amazing their mascara/blusher/lipstick is. Bonus points for posting a boring video of them applying it. More bonus points for a before make up and after make up shot.

The commercialisation of everything. Easter, Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day.

A million hashtags at the end of a Facebook status.

People that walk along the street with their phone held in front of them on speakerphone. Just hold it to your ear like normal people.

Men who wear jeans halfway down their legs showing off their Calvin Klein boxers.

The obsession with coffee. Years ago you ordered a black or white coffee. Now there's about a million different size/milk/bean/styles available that's overpriced and I'm glad I don't drink the stuff.

Vapers that puff sickly sweet strawberry cheesecake or chocolate fucking brownie smoke everywhere.

Posh names for everyday food. Sea salt & West Country cider vinegar crisps are salt & vinegar. Vintage cheddar & red onion are cheese & onion. Stop trying to make them sound posh.

Macaroni Cheese being referred to as Mac n Cheese.

The fad of being vegan

"Can I get X" instead of "I would like X please"
To be fair, I remember when I was a teen asking ‘Can I speak to ...’ and my friend’s dad replying ‘yes, you may’.

Hate constant selfies, and videoing or taking pictures of just about everything. Just look with your eyes FFS!

A couple more...

The popularity of the beard. They look disgusting. Especially those that are just allowed to grow and aren't groomed. You look like a fucking tramp. Most of them have a ginger and grey tinge to them and they just look awful.

People wishing a dead relative happy birthday on Facebook, or relatives that are alive but not even on Facebook.

Gratuitous swearing
Ripped jeans (why do people need to wear jeans with holes in?)
Overfamiliarity - hello OhThe, I'm Dr Jane, come in and tell me the problem - er I'm Mrs Roses and you are Dr Jones.
Ridiculous weddings that have little to do with marriage
Buy now, pay later
The tube - passengers used to let people get off before getting on
Constant eating
Drinking out of plastic bottles - use a glass and use tap water.

All of the utterly trite shite trotted out on social media, especially 'deep' memes, and self-indulgent emotive horsepiss...

When did we all become so self-obsessed and needy?

And wasteful? And vain?

Cold callers who ring and say "Can I speak to Ilove" as if they know me. I have a slightly unusual surname and the ones who stumble over it, I always know they have a list of names to work through and haven't looked at it properly before I pick the phone up.

Americanisms which have crept in such as "regular" coffee and I always say "just normal size please". Fries instead of chips. Aaaagh.

Reading all of your pet hates makes me realise how many things I seem to find irritating these days!

The massive slug eye brows which are 3 inches thick. Wtf! Who the hell looks at them and thinks they look lovely?!
False eye lashes which make you look like daisy the. Cow

Seeing everything through a phone. We went to Disney and everyother person was walking around looking at everything through their phone and filming it.

Ah yes 'Mac and cheese'. It's macaroni cheese! and preferably in a pie
Also hate salted caramel. Can't seem to get it not salted these days.

Live Laugh love, Don't let anyone dull your sparkle, Home is our happy place, and all those twee sayings that are plastered everywhere. My theory is that the more twee sayings there are in one house the more miserable the inhabitants because they are trying to persuade themselves otherwise.
On a similar note those big chunky letters spelling out Bath (in the bathroom) sleep (in the bedroom) Love and Home (in the lounge) Are the owners really so stupid they need signs detailing each room's purpose?

Waste. Terrible waste everywhere. @Racecardriver catch yourself on.

Selfies in general but especially teenage girls pouting. ( I cringe when I see most selfies of my niece, and why do they have to take them in the bathroom or public loo?!).
And phone usage with teens and young adults where they are living their life through their phone .
Entitlement attitude especially in teens but also generally.
Not being grateful for what you have and wanting more all the time.

Attention-seeking on social media.

Saying ‘Can I get...?’

Spiteful cynicism - the use of expressions such as ‘virtue signalling’ and ‘performance parenting’.

Playing music/films out loud in public places.

Gender reveal parties and baby showers. As someone whose suffered loses I just can't understand how people can feel comfortable celebrating something that has not yet happened. Maybe that's just me though because of my past.
