A True Gentleman...

[BrianCoxReborn]

"A true gentleman ruins a lady's lipstick, not her mascara"

AIBU, each and every time I see this guff on Facebook -yes I know, FB is evil etc-- to want to reach into the screen, pull the "sharer" through said screen and yell "HAVE A FUCKING WORD WITH YOURSELF!!!!"

I don't know why it elicits such a response in me, but it really pisses me off.

NB: I have raging PMT, this may go some way to explain the imaginary pulling-through-screen scenario.

I was more horrified than I've been for a while when I saw this recently

It wasn't on FB though it was in a high St shop

Pft, heteronormative...!

Jace I can't even begin to describe how terrible it is.. If we were playing misognist bingo, you would win with that

Oh wow, jace

I've also seen a longer version with possibly inserted between maybe and yes - not that it improves it any

I don't like to be unkind, but it does get galling on Facebook to have fat people telling me how to eat, single people telling me how to handle my marriage, people without children telling me how to raise them, and idiots telling me I don't care about cancer unless I copy paste some spam.

Barbara Cartland used to say a true gentleman takes his weight on his elbows.

Jace fucking hell at that quote

Jace where did you see that? I'd complain. FFS, who thinks this is OK??

The only acceptable meme I've seen is "squat like Tom Hardy is behind you".

I found it motivational...for about a nanosecond.

Sheba- very true.

Can I add to the list, anyone whatsoever implying that I don't care because I refuse to Hand over my bank details/ life savings / start crying uncontrollably etc to a complete stranger, when they are trying to push the latest' cause'.

If I want to give to charity I will. I do not take kindly to you stopping me in the street/cold calling me / or impeding my privacy.

You have no idea how much I do for others, probably far more than you do actually considering you get paid to badger people so leave me the fuck alone.

Rant over.

Oh and reposting any form of shit on fb will not stop anyone from dying.

The "like/repost" ones are all just set up to gather profiles/email addresses.

It's like signing yourself up for spam.

Even my 5yo DS knows that no means no. That poster is awful jace

I thought the mark of a true gentleman was that he always gives his twig and berries a waggle in the sink when he gets in from the pub..?

I'm so sleep deprived it took me a few minutes to work out what the quote in the op actually meant. I was sat thinking "What, is he borrowing the lipstick or feeding it to the dog or something?"
Then my last brain cell that hasn't given up kicked in.

I generally hate them, although this one made me laugh

I do like that one Armani, because it's actually true and quite good advice! Like the Polish saying about monkeys "not my circus, not my monkeys" or similar.

I've spent the afternoon with my OH and our combined children (2 each,ages from 2 to 11) and am all serene and content. It could have gone either way from my rage this morning. Thank god for sunshine, blue skies and a true gentleman, who has waited on me hand and foot all afternoon.

Yanbu. I hate crap motivational quotes or ones by Marilyn Monroe or Chanel when it's entirely likely they never uttered those words

This popped up on mine today. YANBU

I'm unusually dense today. I thought someone was saying that a true gentleman doesn't stick his dick in a lady's eye.

To be fair, a true gentleman doesn't.

I think the dumbest one I've seen is "A ladies swallows".

This one.

Oooh... Tom Hardy...

Oh GEEZ, Senpai, that's got to be the one of the stupidest things I've ever seen!

I had an ex who claimed that 'a woman's place was in the kitchen he didn't last long he shut up when I snarled "because that's where the sharp knives are kept?" To be fair, I was full of raging hormones at the time and wouldn't have actually stabbed him probably

Some of these are hideous though. I saw one saying something along the lines of "men are either hungry or horny, if you're not having sex, make him a sandwich". Vile.
