To have no time for 'nonsense' anymore

[scoobydoobydoooooh]

People expecting me to travel thousands of miles to attend their destination wedding.

People putting their name on waiting lists for designer handbags that cost thousands of pounds.

Pamper parties for 9 year olds.

Any other grumpy old ladies like to list the modern day nonsense they can live without?

People who get through the supermarket till and only then start looking for their purse, as if it's the first time they've ever been asked to pay.

People who remembered something and waddle off to find it, leaving all their shopping on the belt and a queue of people fuming, they then return, usually with a handful of things and 'sorry, sorry', smirk. The rest of the queue grit their teeth and smile understandingly, I usually comment 'Not half as sorry as we are by you lack of organisation or consideration', at which point I'm told how rude I am!

Parents who let their children sit in the trolley (the main part)
Stupid eyebrows - that's just a manufactured industry for something that is pointless
Parents who think the world has to stop for them
Professional parents - we don't care!
Social media attention seekers - I'm not going to ask if you are ok; I have my own life to lead
The women who act as if they are the first women ever to be pregnant
Teenage boys who where their trousers too low, of literally lower than their bottom - WHY? You look stupid!
Children who are allowed to wander round restaurants and cafes for attention - I don't want my lunch/evening, etc disrupted because their parents can't look after them.
Parents who walk their children round restaurants/cafes, stopping at tables for you to smile at their children - I'm sure they are lovely but feck off!

I like this thread!

LOVING THIS....

• 'cryptic' twattery statuses on social media (e.g. "actually can't believe this has happened." - for god sake people if you want to talk about it - which clearly you DO otherwise you'd have kept your dirty laundry off social media - then just bloody say it!)
• any form of selfie. The whole selfie culture is disgusting.
• Reality TV stars with fake bums. I mean gigantic asses. Is this a thing?!
• Grey crushed velvet anything in a house. Again, it's all stemmed from reality TV and it looks like the inside of a caravan of one of the Big Fat Gypsy Wedding stars. Just no.
• Range rovers
• White cars in general. I remember when white cars were the cheap shitty ones now they're really special apparently.
• matching xmas pjs (usually for sole purpose of selfies to post on social media)
• snapchat filters. You look ridiculous.
• people comparing their dog to my baby. Unless you shat your cockapoo out several months ago then I assure you, it's a different thing entirely.
• Anyone from Geordie Shore
• Instagram #ad posts. I don't care that you're having a wonderful time eating toasties, we all know you only posted this because you're sponsored by Breville (if you know, you know!)

So many more, but must do some actual work now!

Stupid dramatic people on Facebook, I have one right now ranting about some taxi driver swearing at her. She’s getting a load of “Awww hun” replies and naming and shaming the company in question. Fuck off Karen, why was he swearing at them and why the fuck do you consider yourself so important that people are going to boycott that firm on your behalf?

Oh and people who post stuff on Tesco’s Facebook page over the most trivial shit. I admit I do go reading “visitor posts” when I’m bored to give me a laugh.

British fucking Gas.
Nuff said.

The HRT warriors.

Some of us don't want to take it. Our bodies, our choice. Some of us can't take it for medical reasons. Some of us don't need to take it because we got through menopause on our own and are doing just fine.

It might be the best thing since sliced bread as far as YOU are concerned, but you are not me. It might have worked wonders for you and that's great, but don't preach to me about how wrong I am not to take it.

Utterly pointless Z- List Celebrities that are calmbouring over anyone to get a crumb of attention and acting like they’re A-List.

A- List celebrities (and all the rest) trying to be all ‘profound’ on Instagram, constantly coming up with over done shite like ‘It’s so important to be true to yourself and comfortable in your own skin’ as though they’re the fucking Dali Lama and genuinely having an epiphany/ saying something profound. Fuck. Off.

Entitled parents, I’ve rarely met an unentitled one tbh.

Women that lost all sense of self and identity once they become a ‘mum’ and live purely for the ‘children’ Bore off and get a grip.

Those chain mail ‘let’s keep this going’ things on FB.

People that have to update their Facebook status at least 4 times a day.

Selfie filters/effects. Like those creepy looking big eyes and those animal noses that just look like a blob of shit on the end of your conk.

The arrogance of youth.

❄️ at work saying that if there was a second referendum, it will be Remain, ‘because many Leave voters have died off.’
And that fact and critical thinking are soooo last decade.....not sure if it was a joke, but it wasn’t funny because it does seem true.

The lack of rigor and discipline in academia. The pompous and pretentious non sense word salads of much academic writing.

This is so cathartic!

Badly behavedlittle shitskids being 'diagnosed' by indulgent parents as having ADHD/autism

This is a bit below the belt. Invisible conditions are real conditions.

I guess it’s called corruption. Or moral corruption in academia, someone could do a PhD in it.

Reading through this thread is cathartic .

People looking for somebody to sue everytime they slip, trip or fall, even when it was clearly their own fault or just one of those things. No doubt they go around moaning about high insurance costs and over zealous health and safety rules when they're actually the cause of it in the first place.

Seline note I said diagnosed by parents. A genuine medical diagnosis is a different thing altogether.

Sheeples - follow every trend like the ice bucket challenge and post on FB without any sponsorship or awareness of the charity it was suppose to raise money for.

Adverts - how loud they are compared to volume of programmes they sandwich.

Lame dance routines like the Mecca bingo one, or the one where lines of people are filling their washing machines all with the same synchronised actions.

Entitled people who can only say Thank You for a present if they like it. Otherwise, please understand the money you spent on them was a waste of time and not worthy of a thank you.

Self identifying as a particular gender. I want to self-identify as a squirrel and change species but think that won't be allowed.

Selfies. The ridiculous trout pout. The legions of women posing with the same pouty expression would make you wonder if their mothers were all prescribed a teratogenic drug that caused a pouty facial malformation.

Wearing labels is not the same as wearing haute couture.

Dressing babies/toddlers in labelled clothing then worrying about them getting poo/sick or just get dirty is crazy. And complain that you're going to start sending kid to nursery in 'cheap' (Primark) gear because the nursery staff don't stop kid getting mucky.

People who complain that they're hard up and then buy a new car and book a nice holiday. Either you're lying about being broke, or you're so stupid that as soon as you get a bit of money you squander it and end up broke again - in which case stop moaning about it. It's your own fault.

People who complain on Facebook to shops for selling T-shirt's with slogans such as 'Boys Will be Boys' claiming it promotes 'Rape Culture'.

People who share it in agreement making it go viral.

People who have a moan about things being labelled 'boys toys' or 'girls toys'. If you want your son to have a dolly and buggy - buy it!

Share ❤️ if you wish cancer didn’t exist, or ❤️ if you know someone who is ‘battling’ cancer at the moment.

Why? What good will your throwaway ‘empathy lite’ do?

Greedy people. Just been watching Rip Off Britain Holidays. A woman and her family paid £3k to stay in a luxury house for a week. The house was amazing. Everything they wanted. But there was a wasps nest outside and wasps kept getting in the house. The owner gets an exterminator in and eliminates most of them but a few still remained. The woman gets home and complains. She wants compensation so she can go on another holiday as this one was stressful and ruined. Greedy greedy. They had lovely days out judging by the photos. The house was lovely. The owner did what he could. Yet she thinks she deserves money for another holiday.

People eating apples.

People who hate weddings on principle.

Oh another thing - conflating the whole of the UK with our idiot current government. I just saw something on Twitter that said it will take generations to wash away the shame of being governed by people who boast of removing their citizens' freedom of movement and that of their near neighbours.

Well I've never voted Tory in a GE and I didn't vote to leave the EU. So I am not ashamed. Annoyed and disgusted yes. But I am not taking responsibility for my fellow citizens' decisions.

I know this was supposed to be a bit more lighthearted so sorry for darkening the mood.

I want an apple now
