Phrases that make you realise you shouldn’t stay on a thread…

[CurlewKate]

Are there phrases that people post on threads that, if loads of others agree, you know you should get out before it makes you angry/unhappy? And then you don’t, and you get angry and unhappy and you’ve got no one but yourself to blame?

Currently mine is “politics of envy”

Needs gone... I cannot bear it.

When people use "fast forward to now" in the middle of a ridiculous rags to riches story.

"I dropped out of school at 15. At 16 I was a heroin addict living in a squat. At 17 I was in prison for attempted murder.
Fast forward to now I'm 25 and the CEO of a FTSE 100 company and own a mansion in central London."

Ones where the OP doesn't come back.

And when I cop on that the OP has a Pronoun + Adjective + Animal name. There's been a lot of them recently.🧐

Anything where it's obvious that the OP is going to listen to none of the well intentioned advice given and come back in a few weeks or months complaining about the same thing.

Any thread using the word 'judgemental', because it generally means someone's done something shitty but no one can have an opinion about it because of various fictitious reasons put forward as excuses. Example from a few years ago of someone smashing a window and their parent not telling school 'maybe it would have made them late for work' 🤨

If I read penis breaker even once I leave the thread

Reminds me of this. 😆

This is spades. ^ I LOATHE this fucking four letter word with a flaming passion, and get so sick of hearing it.

The over use of Internal Misogyny and Virtue Signalling

'MySleepyBlueTiger.' And so on.

‘complicated cancer narrative’

Anything about weight loss jabs.

Yep, I mentioned this in a post further back. Sick of reading about them/seeing posts about them! As soon as anyone says they want to lose weight, someone suggests weight lost jabs within 3-6 posts!

Journey
Trigger - unless it's the horse, which it never is.
Triggering

“Shall I buy this £500 quid bag or that one”
(Not because I disapprove, buy what you want but I really couldn’t be any less use. I’ll happily peruse fancy dresses but have no interest in expensive handbags… unless they’re cool rucksacks)

“I’m a man and… “ it never ends well.

Meal planning and batch cooking - they are very sensible but I just can’t be arsed to use any brain cells on them.

”I earn 200K and can’t afford a tin of beans” just not what I need thank you.

Oh yes and Israel/Palestine unless it’s an intelligent discussion with grey areas allowed. No I don’t have to pick a side, I can find them both problematic thanks very much.

Ooh I’m always popping. Sorry

"Are they ND?"

Any reference to parenting as 'being in the trenches'.

Seriously?

Any thread with someone saying 'we're' pregnant. And anyone talking about 'baby' i.e 'I was just feeding baby' etc.

”Man here” 🥹

Also! When someone posts a scenario where they have SO OBVIOUSLY not been unreasonable but because they want to discuss it they make up that their mum/husband/best friend feels that they have been unreasonable.

Constantly slagging off middle aged white men and using the phrase as an insult. I suspect it's a certain type of white woman who does this, attempting to be cool, but it's actually racist. Nothing wrong with the majority of middle aged white men.

‘Be kind’

nope, not my job

Where’s the laugh react when you need it!!!😂😂🙈

‘I’m not eating enough to lose weight’

“Give your head a wobble” when someone disagrees with my politely written opinion about my own life 🤷‍♀️ e.g. I prefer not to have a washing line in my garden!
