Hatchimals

Yes, I am a mother, these cost me a small fortune...I don't understand why my children get any enjoyment out of them!
They don't play with them, they just line them up and then put them back in the containers!

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 22/01/2019 17:00

Pretty much agreeing with all of these - ESPECIALLY Mrs Brown's Boys.... If that's 'funny', then I've had a sense of humour bypass. Ditto 'brows on fleek' - what is 'fleek'?!

ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess · 22/01/2019 17:03

Oh, and grown women who add all those weird kitten ears and whiskers to their social media profile pictures - what is that ABOUT?!

Anapurna · 22/01/2019 21:55

Another vote for the Mrs Brown rubbish.

@ItShouldHaveBeenJingleJess I have a work colleague who says this shit out loud. Also 'on point' as in 'got your eyebrows on point today babes' even though she is at least degree educated and a respected professional. She is nice just a bit try hard

NoShelfElf · 22/01/2019 22:37

Why ladies try to look like sex dolls (sharpie eyebrows and lip fillers)
Snap chat filters. I am not a dog or a pig. A cat nose won't make me look cute. Maybe a bit of fun for kids, but really?
Photoshopping selfies so you look totally like a mannequin, but oddly the person next to you doesn't
Pandora bracelets
Crunchy peanut butter
Vegan cheese
Fake flowers and plants

Mrs Hinch. I swear I would have an asthma attack the minute I entered her home.

Michael Mcyntyre. Agree totally with a PP on here, especially after reading how badly he treated a close relative some time ago.

Zoflora. See Mrs Hinch. It took us about a week to get rid of the smell after we tried it once!

I really dislike it when people become louder and more animated to try to liven up the area, it just feels forced.
Energetic person in the front, "GOOD MOORNING EVERYONE!"
Audience (weakly) "Good morning"
Energetic person: "OH, COME ON, YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT"
More a sentiment than an object.
