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?

"Waiting outside a shop for the latest trainers to become available.
Ditto new mobile phones"

Oh yes, the pretense that cheaply mass produced products are somehow exclusive luxury items, just because you have fallen for the media hype.

Kylie Jenner being proclaimed a "self made billionaire" yeah like it was her hard work that got her all the product endorsements, and her shrewd investments. Or was it that she was part of a familiy of media millionaires in the first place, I really think that at 21 she has made the decisions that has led to her success. Or has she been advised well.

Fashion items being described as 'investment' pieces.

I'm pretty sure if you tried to flog a Topshop skirt from 3 years ago you wouldn't make money on it.

People who tell the me the minutae of a pointless event. I want the end result, I don't want to know anything in between, You bought a car? Great (although in truth, I don't actually care) but I don't want to know anything at all about the choosing, sales, aftercare whatever. Literally, do not give one hoot, let alone two.

All the huge pile of books we get given from school. Reading book, reading record, spelling book, next steps book, word book, tables book etc etc. They don't make my child any cleverer. They just litter the side and waste time.
All of these books look like rags now because every water bottle manages to leak on them despite never leaking when I shake and squeeze them over the sink. Mysterious.

Interior design programmes where rooms are done up to a 'theme'.

Why would anyone want a sitting room done up like the inside of a ship? Or a bedroom designed to resemble a tropical beach?

Absolute nonsense and this stuff really ruined The Great Interior Design Challenge.

I'm a Celebrity...animal abuse disguised as 'entertainment.'
Talking to robots for ages before a human answers the phone.
Couriers who won't specify a specific pick up time so you have to wait all day and they turn up at the last minute.

I'm middle class bit i roll my eyes at the cliches; Waitrose, pony club, private school, pesto, centre parks, gogi berries, Boden..

Second hand shops calling themselves 'vintage'. No, a load of second hand M&S clothes, dog eared Maeve Binchy novels and five year old box sets are not 'vintage'. They're just stuff people want to get rid of, and someone else might have use for.

IrmaFayLear. Yes. I saw the Labour Think Tank woman, too. (Or should I say Labour -ink -ank.) It is a contrived affectation. (affec-a-ion)

Other speech affectations are speaking like a Dalek whilst putting unnatural accent on the ends of words (uneeeeeeeee, Men-al health ishooooooos, social mediaaaaaar.

I will add socks...where do all the bastard things go?

Mornings.

Vloggers

Instagram

Women's magazines...overpriced rubbish...

I totally agree with you OP.

Often the very people who put on these 'shows' have the need to show off about everything (social media etc etc) and often they are up to their eyes in debt and possibly not as 'happy' as they want the world to think they are.

Ignore them all and do your own thing.

Posting the minutiae of their life on FB or whatever.... the meal they are just about to eat, their latest fake nails/eyelashes/slugy eyebrows/tatts/
My daughter won this cup for ballet/at pony club/prettiest of the week

10 year challenge - shed load of make up/filters/etc and 'but oh I feel so old' but look at me I am so ….. !

Stealth boasts are the worst.

Just sit back roll the eyes and laugh

Love this
"Nearly all dogs and their besotted owners. It's not a furbaby and it's going to die, not go over the fucking Rainbow Bridge."

Brioche buns with burgers. No. Just bloody no. I want a nice proper normal roll, thank you very much. You can take your poncy brioche and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. Sweet bread is lovely, just not with a chuffing burger.

In the midst of all the ‘OMG, wish I still looked like that’ 10 year selfie posts, was this...

I bloody love that girl.

Most of the 10 years posts I've seen aren't even stealth boosts they're so fucking obvious.

I bloody love that girl

who is it?

Shockers Perfect. Absolutely glorious. She's amazing.

ovos Katie Piper.

Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed.
The world is going mad.
Why do some of the lovely women that I know go batshit crazy when they go near social media with filters and vacant, cross-eyed selfies. FFS.
I have 3 DDs and I regularly rant at them about pointless celebs, filters, plastic surgery and tattoos. They're so going to rebel and do all of above when they're older, just to spite me!

People going into debt for skiing holidays and fancy new furniture and other luxuries.

What happened to living within your means, saving up for things, and making do until you can afford them?

Modern day workplaces:

Meetings about meetings about meetings
Blue sky thinking and running things up flagpoles and reaching out to all and sundry and teambuilding
Role profiles and targets and objectives and interim reviews. We're not planning to invade China, we just want to get our filing done.

Can I go home now?

School mums always wanting to meet up socially in the evening. I like you all a lot but I see enough of you in the daytime, thank you.

Coffee.
Rude customers.
PTA meetings.

Life is too short for all the above!

I can't stop reading these!

Remakes and Reboots...leave already classic films alone and get an original thought please.
People saying 'lol'. If you can't physically laugh then what you are saying is clearly not funny.
People who repost or comment uniformed nonsense, whole heartedly believing they know what they are talking about.
People thinking because they are offended that the offence should be removed/retracted. No one died of being offended (don't quote me though!)
Erasing historical people/events/literature because it doesn't adhere to our current moral veiws. History is relative.
Using the word literally incorrectly.
Adults using those stupid photo filters to look like god knows what.
The term 'fake news'
Not having to say please or thank you to Alexa/Google/Siri... Manners should be automatic... Am I the only one that does this? 😅😅
Kids watching videos of people playing video games or opening packages.
Inconsiderate and rude drivers
.... Do you know what... I could go on and on!! 😏

Too much stuff to list👵🏻
