Billionaire Rishi, no doubt handmade suits. Why are the trousers so short. Weird.

Lol 😂😂😂😂😂

JimTheShit · 21/10/2022 21:09

Straight men who call themselves lesbians. And get offended when actual lesbians don’t fancy them.
Ick. Ick. ICK.

I hate it when people start a post with "Sigh"

They clearly believe they are the intellectual superior of others and people should be oh so grateful that they have taken time out of their important schedules to correct them. My first reaction is always fuck off. I then calm down and collect my thoughts for my second reaction. Which is also fuck off.

Sillybanana · 21/10/2022 21:16

Men who blatantly scratch their balls all the time.

Iliveonahill · 21/10/2022 21:21

Men who have their hands in the waistband of their trucksuit bottoms out in public. Just filthy and repulsive.

That's a lot to extrapolate from a single word.

Tell me about your mother.

wb3 · 21/10/2022 21:26

She's lovely.

She's lovely.

Must come from somewhere else, then.

It's not the word, it's the attitude it reveals.

Chomping food with mouth open
Talking with food in mouth
No manners

Got 2 specific examples in my office and they both make me feel sick. Both male just for info.

UnfinishedUsernam · 21/10/2022 21:31

Watching them go to town on a Creme Egg.
The sounds. The feverish tongue action.

Looks a good sign to me.

maddiemookins16mum · 21/10/2022 21:33

Living with your Mum past 30 (even that’s late). That’s 10 years of working to save up, so no excuses.
Trousers too short.
Dandruff
Poor table manners
Dirty shoes
Untidy car
Not walking your big dog every day at least once

It's an "attitude" that's entirely in your head because you have chosen to imbibe a single word with a whole load of meaning it simply doesn't possess. No idea where it came from but it's funny to think about. Although not as funny as you ranting at someone earlier for not fancying policemen. Maybe go back to that?

wb3 · 21/10/2022 21:35

That you for educating me. I shall consider myself told off!

Just consider yourself laughed at.

Gym bod. Absolutely gross.

Don't you mean looked down on?

That'll do as well.

Sorry, guys. Back to the studio.

wb3 · 21/10/2022 21:43

Thank you for looking down on me.

I'm very sorry I accused you of having a superior attitude. Clearly I was wrong.

I agree. Arrogant/ condescending.

Person A:
Writes something or asks a question

Person B replies:
‘sigh’

Might as well say ‘FFS’. It’s a virtual eye roll.

When the "question" is not a question but a silly, weak criticism that's already been made and answered umpteen times, a sigh is an appropriate response.

If it sparks furious and unintentionally amusing conjecture from certain types of angry people, that's a bonus. Although the ranting about policemen was funnier, if I'm honest.
