‘And just like that …. ‘ (typically referring to, for instance, a child who has been alive for 10 years turning 10)
‘And that’s a wrap on …. ‘

Anyone (Ex-SIL I’m looking at you) who is always ‘super excited’ about something, but that might be because she is a very gushy person IRL and I can ‘hear’ how she is saying it.

I also have someone who posts a lot about her ‘hollibobs with the famalam’, but I also know how long she had to wait for her famalam, and the grief and struggles along the way, so I’m just pleased she gets to have her hollibobs with them, and I ignore the fact that the words make my teeth itch.

I loathe the “just like that” posts 😭 does 18yrs go just like that for anyone? Honestly?
No.

Moving “forever” up the structure. “Forever grateful for this one” 🤮

“My world in one picture”
”making memories”
”this one”
And anyone who checks in at the fucking hospital.

Sunnybeachday · 04/08/2026 23:00

Not a caption per se, but anyone who asks “can I be considered?” on a giveaway post should not be considered

I’ve no idea why it annoys me so much, as it sounds very polite!

MyAgileUser · 04/08/2026 23:02

Checking in to a hospital with the inevitable and increasingly worried comments with radio silence

potty shot 🤮

“Picky bits” for a tea of assorted cold food - urggh

@elliesmummy19 my world in one picture
How nauseating🤮

Gillettegirl · 05/08/2026 00:27

Wholesome 🤮

Cardisncocktails · 06/08/2026 21:01

Anyone over the age of 18 who uses the word 'super' when they mean 'very'. It sounds so feckin childish (and not in a good way, if there even IS a good way for an adult to sound childish).
'And so it begins' ... FFS!!
Anything which involves ASMR.
And I agree with everyone else about 'this one', 'blessed' and 'obsessed'. Just no.

Lentilcakes · 06/08/2026 21:08

Happy heavenly birthday (WTF)
Hollibobs
Fam
x sleeps until .. (don’t mind this as much)
#making memories
fur baby (just no and I have a cat!)
nom nom nom
’super’ everything
enjoy every minute (such pressure)

sweatervest · 06/08/2026 21:14

I love threads like this as they allllllways make me laugh literally loudly

My daughter says "super" instead of "very" and it really irks me.

Definitely agree with the this one/and so it begins/and relax/and all the other crap that people come out with but that i judge as I am obviously perfect.

Lolabear38 · 06/08/2026 21:17

‘x/y/z hits different when…’ 🙄

And people who label everything ‘home made’ when sharing pictures of their food - ‘home made quiche with home made
coleslaw and home made potato salad’ - is it so unusual for something you eat to have been made at home that you have to specify?!

Victorius19 · 06/08/2026 21:17

RIP

If you can't write out Rest in Peace, don't fucking bother. It's so disrespectful.

fruitj · 06/08/2026 21:22

The one I hate is "my X is better than yours".
Photos of a couple with the caption "my boyfriend is better than yours" or a woman with the caption "my mum is better than yours". Just SO smug and SO annoying!

misstwaoyu · 06/08/2026 21:25

Referring to your family as your “team” Envy

1pinkbowl · 06/08/2026 21:27

The event posts….
putting (insert town name) back on the map.
Back again bigger and better food festival, village green open day, rotary carnival.
I know I am being unreasonable but it really winds me up. I feel the people who say these things probably sleep with teddies on their beds.
