I can't be the only person who bloody hates this shit? Please tell me I'm not.

Now, I'm all for a bit of encouragement, before someone calls me a miserable old boot, but what's wrong with a perfectly respectable 'I hope it all goes well'?

I have a friend who has started business page on FB and I genuinely wish her well. So far I've seen a 'you go girl!' followed by lots of these 💪💪💪💪, a couple of 'you've got this' and a 'this girl can!'.

What the fuck are these people on about? My 'wishing you all the best in your new venture' sounds somewhat lame ... 😁

I bloody hate it!

Up until recently I worked with someone like this. She looks fairly normal but I cannot begin to describe some of the shit she comes out with on social media and the staff whatsapp group. #goals #boom #nailedit #mumsrock

Do not whoop. You’ll never forgive yourself and I’ll never forgive you.

@AnneLovesGilbert well I've taken your advice on board and couldn't bring myself to whoop so all is well. 😂

Nothing much since last night apart from a lengthy essay about 'never dulling your sparkle'. I should say there are lots of very sensible 'Good Luck' and 'Wishing you all the best' messages too so it's not all inspirational quotes.

@wendyleen hashtags are fucking awful. I have a cousin who photographs every single evening meal followed by #feedingmyfamily. Every single day.

Or that Storm one! What's the one about the storm that makes me want to punch myself in the face??

Don’t wait for the storm to pass, learn to dance in the rain....or some similar sh*t. Apologies to my sister who has that printed in italics on her kitchen wall ...

MacDuffsMuff · 11/02/2021 10:42

It's similar, but worse I'm sure! 🤣

I positively hate digital whooping. It's infantile and makes me cringe. I know that most disagree with me though.

I agree with @AIMD. Don't ever let anyone dull your sparkle @PoppiesAndButtercups.

God I’m glad that ‘straighten your crown queen’ stuff from a couple of year ago has passed a little.

Wonder if all the people with their crown tattoos still like them? Apologies if that applies to anyone here but for me that is like the tattoo version of ‘you go girl’.

🙄🤢🤮

Ah, I've found my people! 😁

YANBU at all OP, I totally agree with you and all you grumpy buggers, it's all so nauseating. I can't stand "Rainbow bridge" either, and when my dog died a friend photoshopped him onto a pic of a rainbow bridge, complete with sparkles 🙄😆 It was almost worse than pooch dying! 😉

@ImFree2doasiwant

Worse than "you got this" is "you got this mama " just FUCK off. I haven't got this.

Or worse when people post this about THEMSELVES, ie if they can't handle me etc etc.

ALWAYS posted by loudmouthed, irritating, attention seeking knobbers

hahaha love it. I know someone who posts this kind of shit all the time. Quoting Marilyn Monroe when she didn't actually say any of the quotes attributed to her

@CandidaAlbicans2 That's horrific! At least her heart was in the right place, I really hope you didn't dull her sparkle. 🤣

No, I graciously gave her post a "like" and thanked her 😉 As you said, her heart was in the right place 😊
