The one I dislike most is 'and just like that'

'And just like that I have a (2, 12, 18 insert number) year old'

'And just like that she's off to university'

Am I alone in finding this exceedingly annoying?

It's not the only one.

'This dress is everything'
'This cake is everything'

Why do people copy these irritating trends? It's not young people either!

Using the word ‘obligatory’ when posting a picture of your child in their uniform on the first day of term. No it isn’t. It really isn’t.

God I’ve been wanting to say that on FB all day.

"New hair, who dis?"

You, presumably.

"Rant over"

"Well said" (usually in response to above rant)

"Let's share the hell out of this" (usually something that wasn't worth seeing the first time never mind sharing)

StoopitAutocarrot · 07/09/2021 22:33

Ah, I did my own voiceover there now en route to the fridge: “ and just like that, the wine bottle was empty. And haribos were being eaten”

Westerman · 07/09/2021 22:42

'Living my best life' is the one I dislike the most. I also can't bear the Americanisms, especially when something is 'super' eg I'm super-excited. Argh!

MakeAWhish · 07/09/2021 22:42

'Dying' when relating to something funny (no, you're really not)
'Dress/jacket/whatever of dreams'
'I'm not crying, you are!' (No, neither of us are, are we now dear)
Also, married straight people stating their pretty obvious pronouns next to their name.

FrankiesKnuckle · 07/09/2021 22:43

I can't even.....

Can't even what? Shit? Are you constipated?

How everything is insane.

That yoga session was insane.
That ice cream was insane.

Drives me fucking insane.

Penis [fucking] beaker.

Do better 🤮

Every tiny little thing being turned into an event. I sometimes wonder if anyone under the age of 45 ever leaves the house with their partner without it become ‘date night’. I actually saw someone tag herself and her husband at a coffee shop with the headline ‘date morning’. Date morning?! You had a fucking muffin!

TheNarwhalBalloon · 07/09/2021 23:08

"hive mind" used to summon one's Facebook friends to give information, such as "hive mind, best places to eat in Winchester?"
Usually followed by "And..... Go!"
Which means "scurry to be the first to do my bidding even though i haven't said fricking please or thank you".

@ReeseWitherfork

"if you know you know" SHUT UP.
As an old lady I remember an old comedian, Hylda Baker, whose catch-phrase was She knows yer know. We used to buy our chips from her sister's chippy, how's that for a brush with celebrity!

@Firstinlastout

Baby Mamma, Baby Daddy.Fucks sake,what's wrong with just mum or dad !
I blame my namesake, Judge Judy, I always visualise some scrote in tracky bottoms with the crotch round his ankle when I read Baby Daddy.

@WheelieBinPrincess

My parents probably thought they were ‘making memories’ the first time they took me to centre parcs and I learnt to swim but all I remember about that is being sick multi-coloured vomit in a lay-by on the way hone from eating an entire bag of flavoured fudge from the gift shop 🤷🏻‍♀️
Sounds like every school trip, staff spend weeks planning and organising and when asked to describe the wonderful experience next day all the children remember is who was sick on the bus or wet their pants, the kids not the staff, obviously. (Though after some school trips in the Sixth Form it could have been either!)
Beansprout30 · 07/09/2021 23:26

‘I’ll just leave this here..’ following some dappy quote pic

‘You’re welcome’ after something similar to above

LSLLM · 07/09/2021 23:42

“Blonde/dark/blue/pink hair, don’t care”

Well obviously you do care, or you wouldn’t have popped to Regis to get your hair chopped and coloured with a pastel colour that will wash out by next week Confused

Laney39 · 08/09/2021 07:04

When people use literally when the thing they are talking hasn't literally happened.
" it was so funny I literally died laughing"
I'm pretty sure you didn't Hmm

@ConfusedDotty

Everyone seems to have been on some sort of 'journey '

I hate it, fooking journey??? Nah, it's just life mate.

This 😠

"Here's the thing. I'm a nice person and if I'm a bitch to you, you need to ask yourself why."
"Erm because you're a bitch and not a nice person?"

Geminijust · 08/09/2021 07:33

When someone posts that they're doing something or are somewhere nice and others comment "enjoy". Seem to be seeing that one daily ATM!.

Yes to the making memories/holibobs/famalam etc, although most of my friends aren't that annoying so rarely see such comments thankfully. (One friend has an annoying SIL who uses such phrases so they pop up whenever she's tagged!)

overnightangel · 08/09/2021 07:35

@CheapFoodShits

"It's the ..…..... for me."

Or people who say "I love you to the moon and back". Mate, fuck off to the moon and stay there.

😂
ivfbabymomma1 · 08/09/2021 07:35

I love Disney films don't get wrong but any Disney quotes by adults give me the rage! Same as clothing etc!!

ivfbabymomma1 · 08/09/2021 07:37

Oh and when people buy something with their own money and post a picture captioned "thank you (insert company)" like it's been gifted to them for free when it hasn't and they have paid for it?!
