AIBU to be cringed out by 'making memories'?

[Chickenwings85]

What sayings cringe you out? Mine just recently is 'making memories' I absolute cringe so hard when I see it all over Facebook and Instagram.

Step away from FB and competitive SM. You have been warned, it ain't good for anything really!

(Except maybe tracking down the mistress/OW of your DP/DH in a pinch if all else fails!)

What actually is HUMP DAY?

mmmm friendship group seems to be used in schools by teachers and pupils and I wish they wouldn't (the teachers I mean) If a child is excluded by a friendship group it feels a lot more painful than falling out with a friend or two. Don't know when this phrase started. I expect there's some teachers on here who will tell us

This whole thread is queasy making

Hump day is Wednesday, eg you’re over the ‘hump’ of the Hill and more than halfway through the week. Hideous.

@thenewaveragebear1983 thanks for that, I've been sat quietly for months not knowing what the fuck it means

I was all for agreeing how cringeworthy a lot of these phrases are but after reading this thread I've realised to be so angry and worked up about them is worse. I mean, shouting CUNT at a screen and unfriending someone, "getting the rage" about a well meaning, albeit cringeworthy, phrase someone has written about their kids? It's all a bit unhinged.

My teeth clench at 'literally'. Keyboard warrior types confusing their opinions for facts by adding an emphatic 'literally'. It gives me the silent rage. It makes me want to high-five them in the face with a fucking chair. Repeatedly.

Also cannot abide 'wifey', 'wifey points' or the shortening of words such as 'fam', 'totes', 'totes amaze', etc.

could have been worse [crying]

Thought Hump Day was Shag Day or something...

hashtag drinking a fuckload of wine to forget the day, my kids, my job and my life.

Said nobody ever.

It's ace

Getting a PM, then getting a public post to say - PM'd you hun xxxxxxx

Yeah I know, I'm ignoring you and trying to wipe you from my life. Attila.

@natwebb79 thank you for brightening up my corporate life for the next 6 months. Hate hate hate reaching out - will now sing that to myself until they move on to some other hideous toe curling phrase

Oh I thought Hump day was 'shag night' I wondered why everyone was sharing this on FB hadn't even realised it was only on Wednesdays

It's not a word or phrase, but the misuse of the word 'his' that really bloody grates on me. I don't even know why, it just makes me angry!

'His going to play football'

It's HE'S !!! I know it sounds petty but it just pisses me off.

Oh and 'perfect'

'Going for a walk then going to snuggle with my baby. Perfect' that kind of shit 😡

I've got a lovely and much better deserving friend who's partner was/is cheating on her who is now deluging FB with pictures of him and their son with #myworld and #familymeansmost. My heart aches for her, but all she is going is showing the OW how insecure and hurt she is.

I also hate :

Hubby
Famalam
#livingmybestlife (unless used in humour when clearly you aren't)
#makingmemories (DS won't remember fuck all and DD hates me at the moment as she's at that age)
Holibobs
#thisone

However, everybody is different, just let it wash over you. Or block. Always block.

I find the over sharing a bit much just this morning one of my colleagues reported that he hasn't been able to get it up to all his followers. I know it's a medical problem but not sure fb is the best place to be sharing that kind of thing.

Chester draws always makes me smile though.

I do find social media is really bad for your mental state sometimes. Seeing all these people making amazing memories and I'm sat at home wondering what I can do with the kids with my last 50p before pay day. Then I remember it's all fake and stop worrying. My dd has completely come off of social media for a similar reason.

No one, absolutely no one should use the word yummy

Oh dear, I've used a fair few of these. Called DH 'this guy' on FB and referred to DD as 'Little Miss' too. I swear I don't mean to brag, in my head they are just short informal captions to share happy things with my friends.

I also don't mind people making memories or having cheeky wines or expressing love to their family. I like twee/cheesy/simple fun.

And I don't know what you expect people to put on FB if it's not highlights from their day??

#goals. A friend actually puts #couplegoals on her own pictures. I think we're supposed to want a marriage like hers. Absolutely cringe.

This one
Bliss
#blessed
Love you to the moon and back
Living my best life (which seems to have replaced 'loving life' from a few years ago)

What annoys me is people just talking in a few meaningless catchphrases rather than writing something meaningful about this supposed best day of their life or these amazing new memories they've created.

Grump grump grump

Wine o'clock. Memes about women drinking wine.

And I'm glad that nom nom nom seems to have gone out of fashion.

Do memories only count if the children remember them? Aren't parents allowed to make memories to remember themselves?

Feeling blessed makes me cringe. Soooooo smug

Nom. Just no.

I find it a bit hard to criticise all of this because those I know who do it are perfectly decent human beings, fab parents etc...I just think it's a "thing". I still can't get past "hubby" though. OW does this..."my hubby this, my hubby that" except my ex-h can never be her "hubby" as she'd lose her firefighter's widow's pension and he's clearly not important enough to have that role beyond Facebook
