Things you think people get too obsessed with?

[BeckyRac]

Money I would say

The Royal family

MN: How often other people wash their sheets and towels, and whether they have a toilet brush
RL: weightloss and growing older

Calorie counting

Screen time for kids

tiny little deals on home renovations, like cupboard knobs at seventy quid a pop. me and my mates were all complaining that we didn't realise that being an adult required one to have firm opinions on grouting.

Sandgrown yes there are more important things, but I've been here for quite a few years (before the coup and covid) so I'm just speaking in terms of why I like living else where.

Aging
Anti-aging
The signs of ageing

Is it aging or ageing btw?

I'm with you on that!

Houses, house prices, house renovation, house cleaning. All dull and can we stop wanging on about them please?

Can I also add Harry Potter and comic characters, with exceptions for those under the age of 14?

As a society, sex. It’s kind of insane how much effort people go to to get something so inconsequential. I get that it’s biological but you’d think we’d have somehow elevated ourselves by now.

Harry Potter. You're an adult ffs!

@BluePeterVag

Vacuous celebs and their lives.

This.

Designer labels, particularly re handbags and trainers.

Class.

Crossbreed dogs. They're not a Westie-Jackie-Doodlie-Poo-Whatever, the're a mongrel.

they're

@badassbitch Life is not like that in my part of Perth sadly. Same old questions about block size and which private schools your kids go to/names are down for 🙄

Covid

What other people think about them, in general.

I don’t give a shiny shit any more and it’s fantastic. I no longer follow fashion, just wear what I like and find comfortable. I stopped dying my hair. Only wear make up when I want to, despite the endless “are you ill” questions on bare face days. I don’t have a car atm and had a few people commenting on how DS must be missing out on activities because of that. WTF?! I could go on and on and on. It seems we all have to follow a certain pattern of behaviour, strive for perfection in everything: appearance, relationship, sex life, cooking (ONLY from scratch), fitness levels, house and decor. Fuck that.

Football

Religion

In DH’s case. His bloody Peloton

Sourdough bread. After alot of procrastinating, I got a half loaf (why only a half loaf? Why not sell a full loaf? 🙄) from Aldi.
Dry, tough, heavy, boring. Fed it to the birds - even they're having a tough time breaking into it 😂

High incomes
Inheritances
Being seen as middle class

What an original comment

Brexit - I'm sick of it!

Megan Markle. Where do people get the energy from?

Redecorating.

Although I see pp said it upthread but I don't understand why the need to change decor on a yearly basis.
