And just like that…ffs

[Oopsupsideyourheads]

How often am I seeing this on Sm these days 🙈

‘And just like that..such and such is 7’ etc etc 🙄

Aibu in doing another massive eye roll at seeing this yet again or am I just a miserable bugger?

"This one's a keeper" accompanied by a picture of croissants and coffee on a tray with a rose, or some complicated and carefully staged meal - usually with a napkin and a glass of wine, that the oh has prepared.

Nothing, but nothing comes close to the annoyance of the phrase "I'm shit hot at my job".

Only seen it here.

I thought everyone was supposed to be really good at their job, it is after all their job.

Someone said that to me once and before I could stop myself I replied 'Oh, I think the 'hot' is a bit redundant'.

Lol I can't get that worked up about stuff like this. I have seen so many kids neglected by their parents that I can't be mad at positive parenting posts even if they're properly over egging the situation. Alot of these are also sort of modern slang phrases and part of younger people's vernacular so I just see it as part of evolution of speech and trends

Judging by some of the comments on this thread, I'm surprised any of you actually have Facebook friends 🙄

And if you do have Facebook friends, they honestly don't know how lucky they are having you miserable fuckers on their friends list 🤦🏻‍♀️

Whilst I appreciate the annoyance at some of irksome social media “in phrases”, I think it’s a shame and white mean to think negative thoughts about proud parents stating that their 4 year old has “smashed it”. You know in their eyes, they totally have? Don’t you love your child like he’s the only one in the world? Don’t you celebrate every single achievement and feel prouder than you could have imagined, pre-children, at the smallest thing? And the relief when you all come through the day reasonably unscathed after your child has managed something new and scary?

If that’s not a good description of “smashing it” I don’t know what is

What irritates me about the phrase is that it promotes the idea that smashing things (destroying them) is a good and clever achievement.

I hate it when people refer to someone as a Karen . I think it’s done it’s day and is just so predictable

It's also quite a shame for all the actual Karens

'Livin my/her/his/their best life'

'And then there were'...(2/3/4 members of the family when a new addition/pet)

What's wrong with 'had such a good time or 'baby xyz was born

@Glitterblue

I'm getting irritated by the number of posts I'm seeing that says "Go smash year 2, beautiful girl" and "first day in reception done. He smashed it".

I don't even know why that irritates me but it does!

When I read this my first thought is always Oh Dear the "first day" has been a disaster as little Chloe/young Freddie has smashed up the classroom in a rage at having to fit in with the system

Not as bad as love you all the world🤢

"Would like to wish my Nan happy 88th birthday"

Do it then. Your Nan isn't on Facebook. Your Nan probably hasn't even heard of Facebook. Your Nan probably wishes you talked to her instead of staring at your phone or constant selfies when you go and see her...

@CatkinToadflax

The "OMG can't stop crying" "U OK hun?" "I'll inbox ya hun" posts really irritate me!

I know someone who always refers to her daughter as "the girl child". She only has one child!

Yes, this ☝️ I only need to see one vague, but attention seeking statement to ‘unfriend’! Seeking attention because you are distressed is fine, but tell us what the fuck it is! I also loath being called ‘hun’, usually by someone who doesn’t know me well enough to be that familiar 🤬 (climbs down from off soapbox).

@Polkagray

"That awkward moment when..."

You know most of those are irony right?

Oh yes...the 'checked in to A&E' with no other explanation just a sad face, followed by the 100's of 'hope you're OK hun!'

I'm guilty of hun though

I do wonder whether all the 'smashing it' people go the idea when they did the obligatory cake smash picture with their baby.

God there are some miserable sods on MN! Why do you even use social media?

I’ve no idea what you’re all talking about. I deleted all my social media, bar my closest pals and family on WhatsApp.

Try it... it’s bliss!

@LittleMysSister

Thought this was going to be about Sex and the City!

Me too! Bit disappointed!

@3scape

Yes. You're miserable #hopetohelp. Your SM isn't a democracy. You don't have to listen to anyone who disagrees with what you think is allowed on the internet. Stop making yourself miserable. Stop following people you don't like.

I always thought it was #hopeTHAThelps

‘The boy done good’ 🤮

I despise it when someone finishes a sentence with ..."don't mind if I do".
Usually seen when they are stealth bragging about something.

I find the whole Karen thing misogynistic. Designed to shut down a certain age group of women from complaining or speaking up.

Not SM but on emails, “I’m just reaching out…” Nope, you’re just emailing me. No need to reach. Just tap ‘send’.

@Oopsupsideyourheads I was going to start a thread saying the very same!! … and just like that you did it first
