You should just have a glass of fucking wine and get on with it?

A 'cheeky' glass will still pickle your liver.

Lots of FB updates tonight that are pissing me off I may be suffering PMS

Oh and saying 'don't mind if I do' - just drink it FFS!

And breath ........... Grin

I hate when the Daily Mail posts a photo a celeb A openly smoking a cigarette and always, always refer to it as a 'crafty fag'.

There's nothing crafty about it at all!

molyholy · 28/06/2015 01:18

I got so fed up of all the aforementioned shite on fb that I give up in the end and deleted. My brother moved to another country so I do sometimes have a look through my husbands at his updates. I seen the other day, the worst 'share this if'. It was something along the lines of 'children are precious. Share if you hate child abuse'. Fucking ridiculous!!!!

ScrambledEggAndToast · 28/06/2015 06:20

Ahhhh OP, I hate this too AngryAngry Little children are sometimes cheeky. A glass of wine is not. It makes me cringe.

AuntieStella · 28/06/2015 07:29

Cheeky is a near synonym for crafty.

It's not as secret as crafty, but does mean you're doing it when you really shouldn't.

It was an ad slogan for Vimto originally, designed to make it seem edgier.

Oh god, yes the naughty bit of cake thing drives me up the wall. I thought it was just me.

My MIL will do this. 'Oooh I was soooo naughty, I had cake for my lunch. I did feel bad but it was soooo good, and I didn't have anthing else. Wasn't it naughty Sleepy? Ooh but I did enjoy it'.

I'm there boggling that a grown woman can go on and on and on about a slice of cake being naughty while being seemingly oblivious to the fact that she ate nothing of any nutritional value between breakfast and dinner. That makes me boggle, and I feel ill thinking about it (admittedly I have blood sugar issues that mean I simply couldn't do this).

Just have a modest lunch, cake for tea and shut up about it!

Ledkr · 28/06/2015 07:46

Oh I'm so happy not to do facebook!!
Dd shows me stuff sometimes and I'm just like this Confused
Why oh why do people feel the need to share every move they make, everything they eat/drink and every emotion they feel?
Id never find the bloody time?

RoboticSealpup · 28/06/2015 07:47

YANBU.

There's a cafe where I live that advertises its 'Naughty Treats'. puke As if women (because I've never heard a man say it) aren't really allowed nice things like cakes, wine or whatever...

Ledkr · 28/06/2015 07:48

And don't even get me started on the "like" thing, wtf.

WilburIsSomePig · 28/06/2015 07:49

Well a woman I used to work with happily announced that she was off out for the night 'hoping for a cheeky shag'. Bit too much info there love...

Sleepybeanbump · 28/06/2015 08:03

Tbh even all the 'treat yourself' adverts and displays in cafés and shops irritate me.

It just endorses and encourages what is already a very fucked up relationship with food and drink that we have.

BumpTheElephant · 28/06/2015 08:13

YANBU.
I also find it annoying when people write "boom!" at the end of everything, it's normally the same people who use the word "bam".

Dumdedumdedum · 28/06/2015 08:17

I am told by my daughter who is living in England for the first time in her life, so remarks on these things, that a "Cheeky Nando's" is a custom amongst teenage "lads" who endlessly talk about how they "banter". For info only Grin

SoupDragon · 28/06/2015 08:17

There are a lot of miserable fuckers about.

Ladymoods · 28/06/2015 08:21

"Glass of wine? Be rude not to.."

Actually no it wouldn't be rude, turning down a glass of wine is a perfectly acceptable thing to do.

Soup we aren't miserable, you just don't agree with us. If we were discussing something you didn't like either then you would undoubtedly join in without accusing people of being miserable. (This is also something I dislike)

NashvilleQueen · 28/06/2015 08:23

Ladies that/what lunch accompanied by photo
'Cheeky' anything
The obsession with prosecco as though it's the epitome of class (when I can see from the label that it was 5.99 in Aldi - and nothing wrong with that but still)
Beer or wine o' clock
All these things make my buttocks clench.

TealFanClub · 28/06/2015 08:23

Tip. Don't do Facebook

JuniorMint · 28/06/2015 08:23

Ladymoods I just came on to post about "rude not to"! That's the one that winds me up!

Idontseeanydragons · 28/06/2015 08:27

Some people need to stay off FB Grin
Meh, I had a not very cheeky G&T last night while looking at my feed, it was full of this stuff but as I actually like everyone on my FB friends list I'm capable of shrugging it off as something I wouldn't write personally and moving on.
I hate 'and breathe' as well - sounds ridiculous.

CrystalHaze · 28/06/2015 08:31

Tip. Don't do Facebook

I'm coming round to that way of thinking now and weaning myself off. The edited versions of peoples' lives is nauseating.

SoupDragon, what's miserable about disliking adults pretending they're renegades for doing something they're perfectly entitled to do and that no one is interested in anyway?

JohnFarleysRuskin · 28/06/2015 08:34

Just having a cheeky tea and a crafty slice of toast.

Exciting Photo to follow.

AlisonBlunderland · 28/06/2015 08:36

I'm going to announce my next glass of wine as "downright presumptuous"

CrystalHaze · 28/06/2015 08:37

This is reminding me of a (I think) Dylan Moran stand-up routine about how mobile phones and the Internet have 'killed' real news because people can now announce the minutiae of their lives to a captive audience every minute of the day.

Case in point: a FB relative (now hidden from my feed) who used to regularly post a status to say that they were having their tea, tagged either at their house or at a cafe/restaurant if they'd gone out to eat. WTF makes anyone think that people want or need to know that?!

CrystalHaze · 28/06/2015 08:41

We should all do variants like that, Alice, with random adjectives:

"Having a cantankerous can of lager"

"An arrogant G+T? Be surreal not to"

"Oooooh, homicidal piece of cake? Nom nom nom"

Ladymoods · 28/06/2015 08:44

"Having a slice of cake. Yummy"

Adults saying 'yummy' to other adults. Or worse 'scrummy'.

AlisonBlunderland · 28/06/2015 08:52

Since this is mumsnet.com, tonight I'll be having a narcissistic paranoid glass of rioja
