......doing those "mashed potato" hand gestures and clapping.

I scroll through TikTok every now and again and sometimes spot a header that sounds like the person will have something interesting to say.

They probably do.

But then they do some random clap/hand jive/mashed potato movements and I get The Rage and skip on by.

Its awful

And I know....I know...Social media etc. But it exists and, in amongst all the chuffed there are some interesting topics, a bit of humour, and some good debates.

But the fucking hand gestures.

People who use the phrase "The Rage" really annoy me.

I have absolutely no idea what you are on about.

And this is the moment in life when the penny drops that I really am old now.

Not a clue. At all.

If it's on TikTok, it probably was annoying though so I'm going to hazard a guess that you're not being unreasonable even though I haven't got a fucking clue what you're chatting about 😅

@AddsVsGeorgs

No worries, you're allowed to be annoyed.

I know what you are talking about. Good thing about Tik Tok trends is they are usually short lived. Another one will come along and you wont see this one any more. They bug me because they go so fast you cant really read all the text in them.

Once I was at a retirement party and someone gave a speech and I had absolutely no clue, not one single word did I understand. I feel exactly the same now.

Ditto the above

Thehenbunringsock · 23/07/2021 05:49

This is why I won't use tiktok. It's so fucking cringey.
