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 think they're in charge of a thread when they didn't even start it

Preaching vegans

I've had enough of grandparents announcing how many grandkids they have. I don't fucking care!

Gourmet burgers. They all taste the same and they look revolting with all that extra stuff piled on.
Vintage/antique shops thinking they can do afternoon teas because they've got a coffee machine and a toaster in the back.
"Hand crafted" anything.
People being over precious with their babies. I know a woman who won't put pictures of her baby on fb but will pm you one if you ask and tell her why you want one. Calm down Beyoncé, nobody cares. (I've got a new baby myself and I get why she doesn't want to put photos on social media, but the having to give reasons why you want one is just silly, especially as most people have met the baby in real life.)

And i hate the whole 'we've got this/you've got this' phrase. I've seen it several times today and it makes me irrationally angry each time.

"Gourmet burgers. They all taste the same and they look revolting with all that extra stuff piled on"
Not entirely true. Real beef burgers are 10000x better than any McDs. Thankfully, DS has grown out of them.
I kind of agree with the extra stuff, though.
And can't understand burgers that are too tall to bite without spilling it all out. Also sauces that drip.

Lack of good, decent manners.
Lack of consideration for others.
People being so obsessed with their looks (though maybe that's not new).
Lack of real free speech in universities, being lost to "safe spaces".

There’s not a single thing on this thread I disagree with

May I concur with the eating thing. Why do people have to stuff their faces in public for fear of dying of starvation? It's gross. People scoffing burgers on the tube or chomping in the cinema... In fact I will no longer go to the cinema as the standard of behaviour (shoes off/txting/slurping/munching) is nauseating.

Adults who cycle on the pavement and then ding their bells aggressively when you don't leap out of the way I take great pleasure in telling them that it's illegal to ride a bike on the pavement. Twats!

being called ‘guys’ in every eatery. ‘hey, guys, what can i get you’ ‘so guys, anything to share whilst you wait for your order’ ‘pizza? good choice guys’ oh please, i have pairs of knickers older than you, so stop chatting like we are mates.

Elf on a shelf. Reindeer to go along with elf on a shelf.
Families that go to Disney wearing matching shirts. A woman I knew posted on Facebook that she made 31 T-shirts for each day of their 7 day trip the family of five would wear a matching shirts.
Everything having to be a “thing”. Having a friend over for snacks and wine is “hostessing”. Taking your kids to the park is “making memories “ and “living your best life”.
People who refuse gluten and dairy just for the sake of it.
Weekly school classroom parties that require lots of food donations.
Cupcakes- so bloody 2001 I’m over them!

Slug eyebrows

Inches thick foundation

Kids on heelies/scooters in shops or in the restaurant where I work - one day there's going to be a nasty accident.

Jeans that are more holes than denim.

Tops with no shoulders in them

Mobile phones-when did people stop sitting and physically talk to each other instead of both parties scrolling through their apps and ignoring each other?

Dogs in bags.What is that all about?

Social Media - I have Instagram and Facebook but I don't give a shit about instastories or snapchat. And because I'm 23 everyone at work thinks I should have an expert knowledge on it all when tbh I've never made one.

Agree with the over done, false lashed, fake tanned look. It's vile and damaging.

High heels. I can do a small block heel but and higher and fucking ouch - how did I wear them as a teen?!? (Let alone my poor mum who wears them every day).

People over the age of 18 who 'can't cook' and don't even know how to make a basic lasagne/ chicken tray bake/ curry. Read a ducking. Recipe and do what it says. If you can't boil an egg or chop an onion it's pathetic (unless due to mobility/ dyspraxia/ SN).

Teenagers - the girls wear ridiculous eyebrows and are gobby little shits and the boys are more mysogynistic than even 10 years ago.

And BREATHE.

Wanderingaround - I hadn't even mentioned anxiety. Weird.

Have we had children squealing? I can't stand it. I don't mean shouting and making a noise playing - that's fine. Happy to hear children outside playing, it's what they should be doing. But these piercing squeals - why aren't they told to stop?
Apart from anything else, how on earth are we to know that someone's in distress if squealing goes on all the time?

All of that!
Glaring phones in cinemas particularly
Appalling grammar on social media
Social media and the pressure it places on young ‘uns
People who ‘forget/didn’t receive the info’ despite it having been sent to them several times.
People who cannot have anyone disagree with their ideas, taking it as criticism with just a differing opinion meaning they rear up as if everyone should just agree with their wise ideas.
People who moan about everything (seems ironic as i’m typing this!)
Elevenereefers

People delegating everything at work to make themselves feel powerful.
'Nigel, could you get x to do this. Let me know if it's possible'
'Yes I can. By emailing x and asking her. But you could have emailed x direct, asked her yourself and saved us both time' Dickhead.

Fucking 'gender reveals'

Women my age that are still fuckin obsessed with themselves

Facebook selfies
Twitter shite
Instagram bleugh

And definitely those stupid Snapchat filters on anyone over the frigging age of ten

Floppy quesadillias. Wtaf.

Cyclists bragging about how they are saving the planet....the argument of slowing busses, cars and trams full of people to a long, slow, painful crawl behind them, making a 10 minute journey last 20 is lost on them.

Social media. In general, I've no time for it and believe it's the cause of many many problems we have now.

TV. It's off more often than it's on. There's very little that is even mildly interesting or thought provoking now.

The addiction to phones. Everywhere you look, people are hunched over their phones. It's rare to see anyone with their head held up now.

Politicians. No good, do no good and don't give a shit about the country or its residents at all.

Is 40 the limit for nonsense tolerance? I'm 39 this year... Maybe I need to dedicate this year to nonsense, just to give it a good send off!

All you guys should try follow little Miss mops. She’s a cleaner who does house cleans, end of tenacys etc and it’s much more interesting!! She also shows clips of her own home and she has children so her house isn’t always as pristine as Mrs Hinch’ house.

I am guilty of watching a bit of Mrs Hinch though. I am pretty house proud anyway but she has motivated a lot of people to clean up their houses!
