Captioning pictures with … time. Wine time, Cinema time etc

Pictures with “I’ve had worse Mondays”

Some one on my FB always refers to her family as “these idiots” or if she’s just talking about her kid it’s “The Child” it’s so naff.

Beautiful inside and out

Beautiful inside and out
Usually applied to the most horrible fuckers on the planet.

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!

It annoys me too!

Lovely, as in “ Hello lovely…”

Another journey around the sun (just call it a year)
Calling their daughters their "mini me"
Nom nom (not heard that one in a while thank goodness)
Going for a "cheeky nandos"

A huge “ask”: whatever happened to the word “request”?

Similarly "stated", what happened to "said".

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.

I think of super as a European thing, Jens Voight a Tour de France cyclist used to say it years ago, and a lot of the cyclists do. It's ok when English isn't your first language I think but we have a perfectly good word - very.

"delete if not allowed"...in a group where all posts are checked by admin before they can be posted

"F / following"

Not captions but on this theme - why do people not switch off notifications when they have enough recommendations instead of turning off comments altogether? It might be that people post things useful for other people.

I've just seen another one - those really long AI-generated ads. Someone starts by saying something like "I had a terrible itch" and 500 words later you get to the cream they are trying to sell you.

noodledrama · 09/08/2026 10:35

I’ve always found it really cringey when people write ‘here we come!’ to a place they are about to visit.
‘Benidorm here we come!’ complete with a photo of their airport drink and passport on the table. It makes me embarrassed for some reason.

And they normally spell it “aloud” too, leading to a double head bang!

‘I’m not one to post on Facebook, but….’ Or the similar ‘I don’t use Facebook, ever, but I have to say….’

You clearly do use it, as you are in fact using it!

igelkott2026 · 11/08/2026 11:58

Just seen another one that annoyed me - not advertising related this time.

"Gurl we are obsessed" in relation to Amy Hunt winning gold at the European athletics championships. AAAAAGGGGGHHHHH.

"sorry to jump on..." <Insert question that has nothing to do with the OP>
