Page 14 | to stop people 'making memories'

DiplomaticDecorum · 2018-04-13T13:16:58+00:00

It's a pissy pants phrase - every time it's mentioned it makes me heave. Just stop, you sound ridiculous, every fucking minute of every fucking day is making fucking memories, it's how we as a species survive. Bugger off and live in Disneyland with all of the little tweety birdies and pink bollocking princess fluffy crap. Start living life as an educated grown up, stop with the stupid filtered selfies, and stop being so bloody feeble. Hope this has made a new memory for you all. Now fuck off.

@DD43 this has really struck a nerve with you

Hassled I’ve seen RHCP live and they were so good. I can see why your son would say that 😉

My sister did a really embarrassing gushy post for my grandmother on her birthday. My grandmother wasn't even on Facebook. It was just her way of showing what a great appreciative granddaughter she is.

It still makes me cringe when I think about it.

Tansie 1 that staircase is genius! Pure genius. I actually want one.

OMFG my STBXH talks a LOT about making memories, usually when he deigns to spend time with the kids. It makes me want to vomit into my shoes as he plasters that shit all over his FB page.

Surely the point of going out and doing things with family and friends is to have a good time and increase our knowledge about the world that surrounds us.

TBH, I never thought of it as "making memories". For what?

For example, my fondest memories of my dad were when he was there for me at key times in my life and when he was a pain in the arse. Simple things like taking me to my driving theory test.
He was a positive person in my life and that's all that matters.

I have a terminal illness and am trying my best to give my wonderful husband and family some more memories for when I'm no longer here .

@TheQueenOfWands

Don't forget the twee signage:

"Excuse the mess, the children are making memories..!"

Clean your house. Slattern. Unless salmonella poisoning and cholera count as memories.

This, with fucking bells on. Grubby bastards.

bitmynailbrokemytooth · 14/04/2018 21:02

I bloody love this.

I can't stand the making memories shit.

Just get on with your life, stop documenting every last detail, take fewer photos, have a laugh with people that matter and live in the moment.

Lweji · 14/04/2018 21:03

@Icanttakemuchmore

Just be good to each other. Talk. Hug. The rest doesn't matter.

Andthatsthat · 14/04/2018 21:32

Cringe. I do taste a little sick in my mouth at most of these.

Making memories
Famalam
Pink or blue
Stupid family nicknames (the Maccys etc)
Drinkies or Dins
Blessed
I’m sure I will think of more...

But the worst, the very fucking worst is nom nom. I want to inflict pain on anyone who uses this. In particular, someone I know who is a grossly unhealthy specimen fully in denial, posting constant pics of their numerous ‘treats’ throughout the week with the nom nom caption

simiisme · 14/04/2018 21:35

I hate 'Famalam'#blessed and #making memories too, especially as one of the worst offenders I know has a teenaged son who is a total thug, making his presence felt in our town.
Also, somebody I know who is so gushily in love with the latest bloke - soul mate, forever etc Each one lasts 6 - 12 months. Her poor kid must be so confused.

GinghamStyle · 14/04/2018 21:43

I'm pretty late to this thread having just seen it on threads of the day email but thinking about happy memories as a child, they're always things that were never planned: sitting on dad's knee with him making up a story about Goldilocks coming to our house for ice cream; being told how to act around bees; helping my nana in her garden and hearing her stories about her time in the Land Army. When I think about my favourite memories of being a mum, it's being filmed by DS as I slept on the Eurostar coming home from Paris; him crying because a toy in a shop window was "too cute"; him teaching my friends DD(3) to play football; sat at a cafe in Italy having a coffee with DS reading the phrase book to ask for the bill. They're never planned, never photographed.

DropItLikeASquat · 14/04/2018 21:50

what does 'famalam' mean???

SoupDragon · 14/04/2018 22:17

You can consign this to the shit heap along with “spat tea on my keyboard/screen” and ”a bit of wee came out”

Housemum · 14/04/2018 22:38

“My famalam” is “my family”. Up there with “holibobs” for cringeworthy twee talk! If I mean family I will say it, my FB posts are numerous but not filtered and hashtagged to death. They are snapshots and to the point.

DD43 · 14/04/2018 22:41

@DropItLikeASquat

Family. Like holibobs means holiday.

Agree with this soupdragon. ^

Gotta laugh at people mocking and berating the way people speak on facebook, and then coming out with cheesy predictable shit like 'I do taste a little sick in my mouth looking at some of these..' 🙄🙄

Cool story bro. You get a A* for the best cheesy, cringeworthy, contrived, post on here today. Even managed to get some travel-stealth-bragging in there about going on holibobs to Italy and Paris..... Nice one! 👍

But most of the the pics that people post on facebook are from moments that are 'never planned' either.....' And so WHAT if they are photographed? What a terribly sad world it would be if nobody ever photographed ANYthing!

I don't believe for a fleeting moment that you have no photographs of any special occasions or special memories with your parents or siblings or kids. Not a fleeting moment.

I was a third born child growing up in the 70s. The cost of films plus processing means that that there aren’t many photos of me as a child. I can believe that there are families with none.

SoupDragon · 14/04/2018 22:51

Well, no, on account of it being empty

DD43 · 14/04/2018 22:52

@SoupDragon

No pics of special pics with her kids either? (On the eurostar and in ITALY?!)

I call bullshit.

DD43 · 14/04/2018 22:53

I mean no pics of special memories with her kids on the eurostar and in ITALY either???

Would have been fairly recent.

So yeah, I call bullshit. Just laying it on for dramatic effect.

billyfivebellies · 14/04/2018 22:54

Aw I always loved that saying!p.
