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?

Particularly impressive with a. Scottish accent.

"The child we produced is attending school in the appropriate year group for her age, and this is a government requirement."

She wore the uniform requested in the regulations.

Oh my god yes! SO annoying.

@ClawedButler 🤣🤣🤣

"doggo"
"hubby"
"hubs"
"staycation"
"holibobs"
"all the feels"

No, Janet, you're not a shoes girl, you just have poor impulse control

"The child we produced is attending school in the appropriate year group for her age, and this is a government requirement."

Education is a government requirement, education in a school building is not.

If you’re going to take the piss at least be correct in your cattiness!

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

"The child we produced is attending school in the appropriate year group for her age, as provision of education is a government requirement and the thought of homeschooling brings me out in hives. She is attired in accordance with the chosen school's stated uniform policy"

"You are still not dead, despite the number of years that have elapsed since the day of your birth. This is satisfactory."

@2kool4skool

It’s in the press, but I loath “Joe blogs slammed for XYZ” or “Such and such SLAMS so and so”

No.

No body was slammed.

They were CRITICISED.

Criticised.

Not slammed.

If they were slammed, they need to call the police.

Why the need for such drama all the time?

Also when people are “distraught”. Nope. Not really. Annoyed, upset, irked. Not distraught. If someone dies or there’s a tragedy by all means be distraught, but not it you scratched your car or forgot to charge your phone

On this note, I thoroughly dislike the misuse of "admits" used in the press regarding mundane facts in an interview. It suggests a juicy confession of some sort when it's just general chat.

e.g. "Mr Celeb X admits he sometimes skips breakfast". What, so sometimes he feels like eating breakfast and sometimes he doesn't? Hardly something that warrants admitting, is it.

Using "Admits" is like the reporter or the public were all guessing as such, and eventually Mr Celeb X felt duty bound to tell us?!

Hate it.

I didn't say anything about being the best!

You shouldn't be in a job if you're not able to do it to a high standard.

It just seems a bit willy waggling to go around thinking "I'm shit hot at this!" And then say it! I do think anyone who genuinely thinks like this is probably obnoxious in real life, male or female.

I’m so glad I haven’t used Facebook at all for about 4.5 years 🤣. There’s an Instagram account I have a look at sometimes, but have already decided to never mention my baby on it when she’s born and to ask other people not to post her either. It’ll be interesting to see what’s actually deemed interesting enough to share when it has to be done privately!

People who address their dead relatives ‘7 years since we lost you…’ with picture attached. I don’t mind the idea of recognising the day - you could just say ‘7 years since I lost my great grandmother and I’m missing her today…’ but I think it’s odd to try and speak directly to them on SM as though they are sat up in heaven scrolling their phones.
This actually goes for anyone addressing people on Facebook who aren’t even on there - ‘Happy birthday Bob! I hope you have the best day, we love you!’ with picture on your timeline (Bob being your DH who has long deleted his social media account or Bob being your 6 year old child who has no phone.)
Or on spotted pages ‘to the person who (probably doesn’t look at spotted pages)…’

Mine right now is "you got this" when someone quite clearly has not got it. I think for me "And just like that" would be "And just like that I have overnight turned into a perimenopausal intolerant old bag".

People are such sheep. Ugh. It's like when you meet someone and they say "Hi" or "Hello". And if my partner says "how was your day?" one more time.. honestly where is the creativity! Don't get me started on what people eat too. Why can't you have spaghetti bolognese for breakfast? People are so boring. And if I see one more loving parent on social media I think I might be sick. Don't these people realise that social media is not for expressing yourself, but for judging others in order to feel superior? Drives me mad.

The amount of children "smashing" their first day back at school has astounded me (as well as made my bum cheeks clench in embarrassment for the posters).

Astounds you? Really? Seems an extreme reaction to something so unremarkable. And, do you really feel such deep embarrassment on behalf of others? What a pointless waste of emotion where something doesn’t affect you in any way.

DH has the same name as his late Dad. Every bloody year the birthday/anniversary RIP posts appear tagging DH as his Dad never had Facebook is obviously slightly dead. It's actually caused people to think that DH had died and he'll get at least one text about it. Although why people text someone they think is dead is beyond me!

@Rosesareyellow a couple of my family members address birthday wishes, complete with collage of photos and descriptions of how wonderful they are, to other family members who don't have it.
What can it possibly be for other than shameless gathering of likes and attention?

Hate the phrase, 'so that happened...'

Friends of mine go to great lengths not to post their children on FB which is fair enough, but then, 'announce,' the birth holding the baby, editing the photo so it looks like a cartoon character.

Lots of the milestones with their children are, 'so that happened...'

The phrase "Gave/Gives me the rage"

Infuriates me

My bad ... What? toe? brother?
Someone please tell me what it is supposed to mean.

@ClawedButler

"You are still not dead, despite the number of years that have elapsed since the day of your birth. This is satisfactory."

This made me laugh

This one hits differently 🙄

Gave me the feels 🙄

What infuriates me is when a poster says 'You do you' . Grrrrrrr

Another is when an OP says 'All fine' when it obviously isn't.
