to stop people 'making memories'

[DiplomaticDecorum]

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.

Lottapianos i came off Facebook on the strength of #Famalam Times. Actually makes the bile rise.

[GnotherGnu]

I always feel that if they're that keen on making lovely memories they would put their effing phones away and concentrate on their families.

help me
where do people say this? Someone do a screenshot

[Helmetbymidnight]

When people say 'We are making memories', I hear 'I am desperate to control my children's every thought.'

[TatianaLarina]

Not forgetting #solucky

[AgentProvocateur]

OP, you mean you’re not #blessed?

[SoupDragon]

you sound ridiculous

As do you from your OP. As well as many other things.

The only time I've used #makingmemories was when I was out walking the dog with the kids and ds2 found a dead squirrel. I posted the picture of him poking it with a stick...

[EthelHornsby]

I am with you - I hate this phrase, can feel all my hackles rising. I think it goes with those people who are so busy recording every ‘memory’ on camera that they never actually stop and look at the world through their own eyes. I also think it’s quite controlling - memories are personal and random - I don’t want someone to decide for me what I remember in years to come

[TroysMammy]

Recently I've read this type of message from a friends husband. "Happy Birthday to the best mother in the world". No children's names after it. It's like he is acknowledging his wife being a better mother than his own.

And how about.......

'Feeling really flucking pissed off, and I am sick of backstabbing bitches.'

'Wassup hun?'


'Can't talk about it on here.'

[CuboidalSlipshoddy]

It would be better if the memories they made weren't exactly the same memories as everyone else who makes memories. Disney, mostly. It's like Mickey Mouse does Bladerunner.

[colditz]

Maybe she is TroysMammy? Maybe the whole thing was a dig at his mother~?

[ThisIsTheFirstStep]

Oh my God people who get all ‘you ok OP’ about shit like this...it’s just a joky comment. Does nothing EVER bother you? You never feel like having a random bitching session?

Calm down. They’re not handing out choccy buttons for smugness.

[Sosog00d]

OP well said.

My life has improved immensely since deleting FB.

I'm convinced we were all more content when we didn't know the extent towhat others were up to, real or contrived.

@GrannyGisele

[DD43]

[BlueSapp]

DiplomaticDecorum I love your sarcasm in using that name,

Tell us how you really feel?

[DD43]

BLUSH EMOTICON FAIL! Grrrrrrrrrr!

[DD43]

FINALLY.

[GrannyGrissle]

@Washingmatilda Brilliant! Hope you did the sexy looking back over one shoulder pouting gormlessly while getting a big bastard needle shoved in your spine? I #madesomefuckingmemories when the trainee fucked up my spinal (Encephalitis) and it took 5 attempts.

[FrangipaniBlue]

Please tell me no-one has actually said or written 'famalam time'. Ever. I'm honestly going to be sick

Unfortunately @Lottapianos I have someone close to me who uses #famalam on Instagram every time she does anything with her parents and siblings. With her friends it's #besties

Anything involving food is #nomnom

sticks pins in eyes

[hopethingsgetbetter]

Me too! I totally agree, I cant stand the phrase. It is as if the memory is more important the actually doing the thing and enjoying it at the time. We all know that the memory can be better than the original experience, so surely the idea is to have fun at the time.

#blessed #makingmemories

kids don't make the memories we lovingly put on for them in the hope they'll be imprinted in their minds for the rest of time. When I one of my children what their greatest memory of their primary school years is, it's one of the other girls in the class being sick on the carpet and the teachers shoe during circle time in year 2. Couldn't really have arranged that one I'm afraid.
